What is this thing called success?

I often ask candidates to define the word success. I might ask, “What does being successful look like for you?”  I have no hidden agenda. There is no “right” answer. Mostly I just enjoy hearing what folks have to say on the subject.

Some candidates stammer. Some offer canned responses. Some wax poetic. A few actually seem to know what it means for them to be successful. Remarkable.

Over the years I have come to realize that most of us really have no clue how to define success.

Commercial Solar is a big investment, but not an overwhelming one

Solar offers a significant economic benefit for commercial property owners while also positively impacting the environment and offering a path to compliance for new municipal requirements like Energize Denver. A local, experienced solar installer will help you navigate the complexities of commercial solar to achieve financial success for your project.

I think it is worth taking the time to come up with a personal definition of success.  Create a written document or make a picture collage to tell the story.

How can we find success if we don’t even know what it looks like? Hmmm.
