    Hey Jeff (errr...Resale!)

    My personal definition is that if I can help others, build relationships and friendships, learn something interesting, and make money all at once....

    I call that successful.

    BTW- Hope things are great with you my friend!

    * Success means knowing I do the right things for the right reasons.
    * Success means not compromising integrity.
    * Success means I share with those who need my help.
    * Success means I give my time to my family.
    * Success means providing value to others.
    * Success means living up to my commitments.
    * Success means building a community – not a network.
    * Success means looking in the mirror and liking what you see.

    To me success is reaching my goals, whatever those may be. Success not always makes you happy. You could succeed at climbing a mountain and then find out it wasn't really all you thought it was going to be, but you succeeded at doing that.

    However, you could set a goal of wanting to be happy, and succeed at that goal. Then you are successful and happy!

    I used to think success was about making as much money as I possibly could make by creating successful companies. I lost a lot of life working hard to achieve that "success". I always like to tell people that I made millions but lost just a little more. I spent hours, days, months and years in pursuit of success.

    After almost dying in 2004, I realized that I had already found success. I have a beautiful wife, four great kids between us and two really cute grandkids. I've learned a lot over the years, mostly that all of this is worth nothing if you don't take the time to enjoy family and to help as many people as possible in anyway every day.

    Success to me is about growth and balance. When setting our yearly goals - Donna and I set goals that involve:

    1) Health - weight and fitness
    2) Spritual growth - like quiet time, church service, etc.
    3) Business markers - transactions, volume, website SERPs
    4) Education - Designations, etc.
    5) Fun - Travel - like trips planned for the year
    6) Sports - like becoming a better tennis player

    So ..... we want to grow our business while growing as individuals. As long as we are growing - I think we are successful.

    Thoughts???
