How do you measure success?
I think the answer to that question will vary depending on who you ask.
The first thing that pops into most people's minds is having a lot of money. And that may be true for many. But I think that success is measured by a deeper metric than that.

I measure success by how I am able to answer this question, "Is my family better off today than they were yesterday?".
If I can confidently answer YES to that question everyday, then I am succeeding. That means that what I am doing is working.
If my honest answer is NO or I don't know, then what I'm doing isn't working and I need to do something else or go in a different direction.
It takes more than money to improve the quality of life for a family. It also takes attention. It takes having time to spend with them. Starting a successful business can give you both in time. If you can make enough money to fulfil your family's needs and desires and also have as much free time as you want to spend with them - That is success!
