Someone recently asked me what I deemed a "successful investor" to which I said that I felt there was no clear cut definition. Success is subjective, and as such, how the investor him/herself defines (and indeed measures) his/her own achievements and consequently success, will vary considerably.
For some it can be totally based on numbers, ie. the number of properties (residential or commerical) owned, the nett value of their portfolio, financial freedom from a paying job, whilst for others it is more their own feelings of self worth, SANF, and so on.
Either way you look at it, there is no right or wrong way to define it. It will mean different things to different people.
As long as you're happy with what you do, and how you do it, then I guess, that makes you SUCCESSFUL.
