I wonder how often the advice in these How I Succeeded posts are actually related to their success. Hard to filter out these things when you're the one experiencing them.


Everyone defines success differently. Most generally, success is the absence of failure. Bonus points if you're making progress.

I'd take these posts more as inspiration to persist. Take toll in your achievements and realize that your business is alive up until the moment you allow yourself to give up.
