Ponn's post did get me to start thinking about success and what it means. Of course, the definition of success is different for everyone. For some people it may be measured in terms of money. Others may measure it in terms of power. Still others may measure it in terms of popularity.
For me, it means living a balanced life according to my conscience. It means achieving my goals and still having time for friends and family.In addition to Ponn's great list of seven success strategies, I'd like to add two more:
- Be flexible. Have plans and goals - yes, certainly. But when real life doesn't go exactly the way you planned, be ready to adjust.
- Learn from your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. The key to handling mistakes is to learn from them instead of getting discouraged by them.

WorkAtHomeMomma,
Thanks for help spreading Our Stratgies and Tips!
Here, here! Your 2 additions are great! I'll add it to my post showing how wonderful this "little" guest post got Steven & I spread throughout the blogosphere ;-)
As for being flexible, with an international broker, our family living out of suitcases now with our move and me desparately trying to make up (make apologies) for not having internet, cable or phone services for the past 3 days, here at the public library for 1-hour...talk about improvising and "being flexible" ;-)
And, if you don't learn from your mistakes, you're doomed for INsanity, the same results with no room for change/improvement!
Hoping to keep this dialogue alive!
To our success & empowerment,
Ponn
