by Allen Williams

There is a lot of confusion as to what exactly success is.

First, 'success' is different for each person.

Your idea of success is just as valid as my idea of what success is.

We have that right, to decide. What is success.

It kills me though that there are a lot of beliefs people hold that keep them from getting even their version of success.
