The best definition of success I’ve ever read is:

"Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal" 

Success seems to be the person, or entrepreneur, who starts his/her own business because it is their dream. they persue what they want, and become the best they can to fulfill their vision.

Rollo May says in his book, "Man’s Search For Himself"  ‘The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice…it is conformity.’
