"What's your definition of Success?" Article by Tina Zawila

I spent this weekend at the Sunshine Coast at the Allstar Affiliate Series Finals.  The top 60 crossfit teams in the country were competing.  To qualify for this weekend's finals, every team here had to compete at an event earlier in the year, and perform better than another 40 or so teams in their state/region to qualify.  So every single one of the 360 athletes here are already winners and have tasted previous success.

However, every person at this event, now has a different definition of success.  For some, nothing short of a podium finish will meet their definition.  For others, it will be achieving a personal best, or getting their first muscle up even if their team finishes in 60th place.
So which definition is correct?   Their own!!
In business, we hear and read a lot about success, however, success is different for every business owner.  For some, it might be achieving a million dollar bottom line, for others it is simply making their very first sale.  We all want different things in life and business.  The key is to recognise and celebrate what success means to you.
Success isn't a destination.  As soon as we achieve a previous goal, we will naturally be inclined to work towards another one. 
Aim for continual improvement, celebrate your wins along the way, no matter how small, and pick yourself up after a setback. 
If you are in the game you are already a winner.
At Sothertons Gladstone, we work with business owners from all different industries of all different sizes.  Talk to us about your definition of success and let us help you set new goals.  Phone 07 4972 1300.
