Find Greater Meaning of True Success. Success is a combination of achievement, significance, legacy, and satisfaction.

We often define success as achievement. We believe that if we achieve, we’ll be successful. Yet, even when we do achieve, we feel unfulfilled. I believe that the definition of success as achievement is limiting.

When you develop your vision for success, be sure to include the four elements achievement, significance, legacy, and satisfaction.
Success is a combination of achievement, significance, legacy, and satisfaction.

 Achievement is what you accomplish in your career or business, usually as measured by your job title, promotions, accolades, and business bottom line. It may also be measured by such things as how many employees or customers you have, the percent growth of your department or business, movement into new markets or countries, or development of new product lines.

 Significance is the sense of meaning you get from the work that you do. Does it have personal importance to you? Do you feel that you have a reason to be in business? It boils down to why you are passionate about your work and business.

 Legacy is the contribution that you make to the world. It is the mark you will leave. It is how you make things better for your children’s
generation. As people move through life, a sense of legacy becomes increasingly essential.

 Satisfaction is the enjoyment that you get each and every day from your work. Do you get up in the morning and look forward to at least some (and preferably most) of the activities you’ll do that day? Do you get energized by your daily activities, interactions, and responsibilities? If you’re a business owner, recognize that you will be working both in and on your business, so you must enjoy the role that you create for yourself.
