Bill Gates is there, pictured above is Xanadu 2.0 his 154 million dollar home located on Lake Washington in Medina, WA, USA so would you say he has reached success?

Hope you don’t mind Debs66 and Littlemama but I’m going to be using the two of you in this blog.

Many new members prior to singing up for a premium membership want to know how much money and how fast the money can be made from this system. Most of us know this is not a cut and dry answer, there are far too many variables that can change things to give a straight answer to this question.

Yesterday I was having a chat with a member here and the question arose in our conversation that got me thinking (that is something that does not happen often) :-)

After you set your goals when you first started doing level one of the OEC training how many of us have achieved those goals, and then I got to thinking I wonder how many members feel they have reached success here at Wealthy Affiliate and how they gauge what they call success.

The 2010 Bugatti Veyron with only 6061 miles a steal at 1.8 mil. located in Miami, FL, USA

How about a 2014 Learjet 75 listed on Jetlinx reduced to sell 6.8 mil currently in Memphis, TN, USA

And Lastely we have the new Worx 550LX personal submarine for a mear 3.2 mil by order only

Many of you know that Debs66 recently posted how she has been able to go from driving a Mercedes convertible to now owning a huge Range Rover (a huge financial difference in cost and maintenance expenditures), and she is currently on her dream vacation 2 weeks in a private villa in Spain

So to me this sounded like she was saying she feels she has reached success and now it is time for her to sit down and reassess her definition of success and what her new goals are going to be so that she can successfully guide her website/s in that direction.

Then we have littlemama, who has not yet come out and admitted if she has reached what she considers success yet or not, but she is kicking some booty on those referrals and has earned a fun filled vacation to Las Vegas on WA’s tab. I haven’t read any of her new Vegas training yet I’m waiting for her to complete it all then I will sit down and read it all at once, and soak up the knowledge she shares to us.

So this left me thinking:

Remembering that even though they are very closely connected

Your success and your goals are two different things.

How many members here have reached what they consider success?

How many members have reached their goals?

You can reach success without ever hitting your goals.

And Visa Versa you can hit your goals without reaching success.

I THINK SUCCESS IS:

Reaching a point in your life when other people seek your advice, value your opinion, and follow the example you set. NO I do not feel that I have reached that point yet, I might be very close, but I do not feel I am completely there yet. (This is based on a combination of financial, mental, and physical attributes)

AS FOR GOALS:

I have reset my goals on a yearly basis, and I have been able to crush ever year’s goals since 2003 except for 2008 when the economy took a hard dive downward. My current goals have shifted form yearly back to monetarily and that consists of getting my two current website that I started here at WA to reach a combined 10K a month earnings. I know it will take some time and I will have to be consistent to reach those goals, but I have faith in this system and my abilities so I believe I can reach this goal by the end of 2020.

The training seems to concentrate more on your goals and not what you would consider being successful

SO

I’m wondering if you would be so kindly to participate in sharing:

Your meaning of what reaching success means to you, and if you have gotten their yet?
