In today’s fast-paced world, everyone seems to be chasing success, but what does success really mean — to you? The answer varies from person to person just as snowflakes, diamonds, fingerprints, and DNA are all unique.

If you ask even just a handful of women in business what success means to them, you’ll get different answers. For some, success means financial freedom, while for others, it’s all about finding purpose and fulfilment in their lives. For me, it’s all of the above.

Defining success is not just about setting goals, it’s about creating a roadmap that leads you to a fulfilling and purposeful life. Without a clear definition, it’s easy to lose sight of your goals.

Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of simply saying “I want my business to be successful” or “I want to make six-figures per year” without defining what that means. What does a successful business look like?

A better question — What does a successful business look like exactly? And why six-figures? What will that get you? A lack of specifics is like going on a trip without knowing the destination.
