THE QUESTION n
How do you measure Success?
ROSS WILLIAMS
I view success a little differently than most people. To me success is not about how much money you make or if your business is thriving. Success is a combination of the things that are important in life; family, friends, finance, fitness and freedom. Without all of these things, it becomes hard to enjoy any of them. Success is about balancing all categories of life, so that you can find joy every day.

Everyone wants to be successful nowadays. If I had to measure it, it would be by meeting the goals I set for myself. Success looks different from person to person. Some think it’ s about money, career, health, even relationships. Only I get to say if I am successful or not. The word successful makes me in a way live in the future and stops me from staying in the present moment. Yes, I have set goals, but I just focus on making every day count giving it my 100 %, staying true to my values and knowing that I did my best each day.
To some people the measurement of success is monetary or in the number of materialistic possessions; To me the measurement of success is the achievement of goals. I believe in settings short-term and long-term goals to act as a ladder of achievements on the journey to the ultimate goal. Upon reaching each milestone of the goals, I reach a new level of success. I believe that success is overcoming challenges, improvising and adjusting to all the obstacles that hamper the objective. Success is being able to look back at the journey and see how far you have come.
GLORIA LONGORIA
I measure success by both my mental, emotional and financial state. I’ m successful when all three flow together to allow me to help people. My life’ s mission is to help as many people in need as possible. I believe that the satisfaction of helping others is far more rewarding than any monetary compensation. Life is about supporting and empowering each other. I believe in building a better future through the power of teamwork.
