I take a non-dualistic approach. I practice. While practicing you can never fail or succeed but you can learn and improve. Practice is iterative.
Success: - Focus on the Customer - Fail Fast Failure: - Doing the same mistakes over and over again - Taking too long for processes
Success is nailing the pitch with a killer idea, failure is when my cat is the only one who likes it...
Success is achieving goals that positively impact yourself and others, while failure is learning and growing from mistakes made along the way.
For me, success at work means efficiency: achieving the best possible results with the least resources invested.
If all my QA bots pass:
Such an inquisitive question - thank you for creating this space for everyone to share, 😌❤️ My personal definition of success is ensuring that I've set up the processes to empower my team to run. So much so that if I was out of the picture, they can continue running without me. This is also tied with how I'd like people - my team, our community members, our users - to remember me/us at the end of the day: for being genuine, compassionate, curious and present. Definition of failure? Operating from a scarcity or fear-based mindset.
If you are making progress, you are successful, no matter how slow. :)
I think success for me recently is hearing a user find our extension helpful/useful. I believe we're building something with real impact so it's cool when users realize the big picture.
Success = helping someone. Failure = not learning from mistakes.
