Success is one that makes it to see 20 years in business. :alien::alien::alien: -

26 years as a landscape contractor.
A former customer who moved to AZ and who probably has passed on by now asked me the same question. Like many I gave some dumb answer like a pile of money in the bank. I haven't forgotten his answer and it has guided me in the quest:
"Success is turning down more work to take care of the customers you already have".
There are reasons to take on more customers and grow your business by adding employees, but the core message is don't chase after more work at the expense of your current customers.Comment

I have finally decided, after much thought, to give my answer about success and my goals. As most have said it is the attainment of wealth. position, or honor. Also having the desired outcome to a situation (your business).
I feel I have been successful in my business as it has provided the funds to support my family, helped put them through school and let me put back money for when I retire.
When first starting mu lawn business my goal was to make money. Now as I have been in this business for over 30 years that goal has changed. Now my goal is that people will say that I am a man of integrity, a man above reproach, and I treat ALL people fairly. That I am a man of my word and willing to go out of my way to help someone in need.
"Are these things possible? I think so, they are being fulfilled in me, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materilize if I work for them".Comment
