Biggest success for me was being able to decide that I would never miss a school concert or miss taking to picking up from school, My daughter. I got myself in a position where money was no longer the motivator, time was.

Started a business with nothing, sold it a while later for a lot more

Not necessarily my biggest success, but a turning point for me was going
to an affiliate get-together organised by a4uforum.

Got chatting to one of the affiliate network managers bout SEO and he
got me to join a program and set me a little challenge.

He gave me 3 keywords to rank for, and an incentive of £2,500.00 if I got
them all ranked top 5 in google.
A week later I was £2500.00 better of

Wow very impressive, Congratulations.

What I regard as my biggest success is when I bought and logo'd (Think that is a word? ) 500 or so, mice and keyboard sets. Wasn't the most profitable transaction I've ever completed but did well out of it still ,

Cheers,
Ben

One of my favourite moments was selling a company back to the company I bought it from for 20 times what I had paid for it 11 months earlier!

My current one is when my customers are happy and you get fab feedback

Hmm, I think my biggest success business wise is being in a position to enjoy what I do and still all these years down the line have job satisfaction and passion.

Like OWG, money is not the motivator and being able to spend time with my daughter, when I want, whenever I want was the biggest motivation for my success.

My biggest success is never having to do anything,unless I want to do it.
