Success in Business is defined as…..
I’ve recently been able to narrow down my definition of success a bit more. It used to be something akin to “Make Cool Stuff”. Not so much anymore. Now that I have two young daughters, I am interested in generating income to use for the education of these two girls. I have recently decided that I will be “successful” if I can do several things: Generate enough money with my art for the ‘education fund’, exhibit with a certain caliber of galleries, and receive some peer recognition. The thought of these things keeps me awake some nights. But I think that’s a good thing 🙂
Please, go there to find the other blogs and read the other questions/answers 🙂
Hi there, sweet friend! Thank you for sharing my thoughts with your readers! Have a great Monday 🙂

“make cool stuff,” love that. And I think that can still be a big part of your greater goal! we share very similar goals (and both have two little girls!)
Love how you have goals leading to your success. I know that’s what we’re supposed to do, but I always find it rather difficult.
LOVE this answer, Kelly! honest and true and very similar to what I feel (although you wrapped it up much nicer than I could have! Great response!)
