Well maybe since I have been looking for a way to explain success in a different way and with fewer words than usual it helped me a lot.

Thanks again for making me focus on ME. I sometimes forget about that!

Raul,
It didn’t feel so basic to me but I’m glad you see it that way. I had to break things up into three categories for “success” to make sense.

I agree that the more you experiment with starting businesses the more likely you are to eventually start on that you view as a success. The key being YOU not others.

Comment on How an innovative product opens sales doors for you by Raul Colon

I think that is where I went wrong a few meetings ago. I had the solution to the problem but the client wanted to take another approach. In my defense they where doing the same thing in a different flavor expecting a completely different result.

My biggest obstacle is selling to the client that the solution I have will bring them long term results.

Congrats on tying that need with a solution!
