As this can mean different things to different people. I made the decision in December 2005 to leave the company that I was working for an hang my own shingle. To me my success is not measured directly by the amount of money I make but more by the fact that I love what do for a living and I do it on my terms. Matt,

Our definition of success could be wildly different, yet if we both achieve it we are each successful in our own way. Matt @Ben Pei

As I get older I'm more motivated by social success in helping others, and being the person my family needs. In 10 more years, who knows what I will consider successful, I just keep defining and striving for what I see as successful today. Matt @Char

Having money and having all the time to spend it is successful. Just being rich and no time to spend it is not. Well success depend on personal goal.
