Many people speak about their desire or dream to achieve ‘success’ and often they attribute success to an outcome, winning a new client, winning a race, beating the opposition or obtaining something tangible. They will each have their own definition of what success means to them. But is that really success? Is the gold medal, blue ribbon, the brand new client or the premiership cup actually success? Well by tangible measurement it could be, however I would argue that for many athletes and business people, the ‘achievement’ can often be a relief and for some, a let down. The real success was in the commitment they made to stay the course, the constant and repetitive hard work they put in, the relentless persistence and focus that was exerted in order to achieve the result.
