I think it is important to examine how we define success. We may not be as wealthy or as prominent as political figures, but if we have earned the respect of others in our field and are sought after for advice, then we have succeeded in establishing our professional identity as a credible resource.
I have never been rich, but I am richly rewarded when a stranger remarks, "I've heard of you" or when a client takes the time to write a letter of gratitude for the services I have provided. I've kept a folder for the past two decades, which contains notes, newspaper clippings about my business, and other mementos associated with my writing or editing. More often than not, when I go through it every few years, I find news items or references to my accomplishments that I have totally forgotten about! I am humbled by others viewing me as an expert, but it's nice to earn such a reputation after all the hard work.

I totally agree with Donna that we should examine how we define success. Poor Susan Boyl, who was launched into this so called 'success', and now what? And 'The four hour work week'? Good for him and clever title, but his secret is actually one word: delegate. I don't think the people who work for him have a four hour work week...
Fortunately I love my job as a writer, mustn't think of only four hours work a week. I feel very successful because of everything I achieved in my personal life ánd in my writing. Would love to have a huge international best seller though. Not to be famous, just to be able to keep on writing and never be in a situation again that I would have to do a job that I wouldn't even like to do for more than a couple of hours a week...
