I know its very difficult question to know answer, the x-factor decides the success of the company/individual, we cant exactly point out the x-factor, so let me reiterate the question, what are all the cause of failures of startups/ enterprises

Success is relative!

It is directly associated with an individuals wants and how was he able to reach some of them or all of them! We cannot define success in quantity.  How much is not the correct question for success. IF any individual has been able to achieve what little he had hoped for, I believe that he has been successful. The goals are different in nature. The goals need to be qusntified. e.g. Financial stability can be accounted for, material objects like House, Car, Plasma TV or Home theatre can also be accounted for, but in the larger picture if the same individual ha to make a mental comparision with the more successful people, he will always have a huge question mark that asks, how much is enough for me??

Nothing Succeeds like Success.

Once you have achieved your goal, it gives you a euphoric feeling that pushes you to dream for MORE, pushes you to do MORE, makes you work MORE and asks you to achieve MORE... It is very relative and doesnt have a defined boundary at all. So its important to create goals for you in short gaps to make you feel the challenge and keep going at it one after the other. For that you need to organise your needs and then make a step up pyramid which will give you a time span which has to be realisitc to achieve the next step. At the top of the pyramid is the single most goal that you MUST achieve and that according to me should be time for you to sit back and say, "I have been successful!"...

Not a mantra but just a SMART way to go for it!

nothing succeeds like success.and success have many takers,it is said success has many fathers.the secret of success is, it is widely accepted.

i succeeded because i thought i will,i failed when i thought so.

i succeeded because i had a goal,i succeeded even wheni was wandering aimlessly.

i suceeded because i planned well,i failed because i planned well.

i suceeded when i wanted to,i failed when i wanted to succeed.

i succeeded because i had knowledge,i failed even with this knowledge.

i succeed when i tried,i failed even when i tried,

i succeeded when i did not try hard.i failed when i tried hard enough.

i cheated to succeed,i succeeded without cheating,i did not succeed even with cheating.

i have succeed without devotion,i have succeeded with pain,with out pain,by chance,by knowledge,you would not know when you would succeed and how.if you are destined you would.

i failed th elast time with lots of efforts,i succeeded without efforts.

my failure was my success. so only secret is it is widely accepted and every one is readyto get associated with it.

 i succeeded even when i was lazy,i succeeded when i was a workholick,i failed when i was lazy,i failed when i was workholic.

i succeded to accept failure as success,or a path.or a way of life.or opportunity to improve,or try a little more,or be a smart try,try.change ways.improve on the last attempt.try some thing new.gove your self some time,fail and try again.stop trying..let it come by itself.do not be desperate to succeed.do not quit.take rest.stop expecting results every tim eyou do something.work without expecting results.do not try for perfection.do try beyond what you feel is perfect.go beyond your comfort zone.succeess is the end of trying something beyond.

success is being contend,being happy.having no tensions..being lazy.it is a state of mind.

There is no shortcut to success. The commitment makes you responsible, responsibility done with perfection leads to excellence, and the excellence pave way to success.

Attempt is the secret of success.

Repeated attempt is the way to success.

Failure gives the taste for success and thats why the repetition gives the success.

Repitition gives the expertise and result ..... you know this is the secret.

Funny thing hidden in the question is that the success can not be secret.

THIS IS MY SECRET OF SUCCESS:

Fix your eyes on perfection and you make almost everything speed  towards it. Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone  expects of you. Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the  impossible. We only learn our limits by going beyond them.

There is only one mantra for success....HARD WORK...that's it!!!! This is the only thing a man can do for success.


A little bit of Luck is also required but it comes to Hard workers only.

Thanks for all your responses

 

Failure is a secret of Success, typical example is   

 

“Edison did not think that any of his failures were actually “failures.” Edison said “If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is just one more step forward....” turn your “mistakes” into learning experiences?. Learn from mistakes. Be persistent”

 

Edison discovered 10,001 times to invent the incandescent bulb

 

As for to me, to achieve success by believing following points

 

Work towards the goal, success will come to you automatically

Break up your goal in to many milestones, reach one by one ( in to order build to 100 storey building, you need to build from foundation)    

Believe on you and your team

 

Your comments are highly appreciated

 

Thanks,

Karthick

Since ppl have different perceptions and notions to talk about.. Few says Hardwork, few says smart work, for few it's our human efforts, for few it's destiny, but the area is much more explored recently in the books - related to Positive thinking and Power of subconciuos mind..

These books gives funda behind the success stories and it really works..! I strongly advise you to read them and you'll be a better and changed person altogether..

The best part is that the fundamentals become clearer and are FREE for you to apply on yourself..!!
Once you acquire powers to tolerate, co-ordinate, effective use of time, praying to god-being specific, your beliefs, etc.. you will yourself love to share this knowledge..

Want you to just feel it once.. the books costs peanuts..!

Cheers!

Until one takes out of mind that success is a secret, one cant even work towards success. Unfortunately, the reality is that people boast of success and keep failures as secrets. But while talking or writing, people say or ask secrets of success. And a lot of books, magazines and all that gets sold just using these catch phrases. Please don't fall for such things like secrets etc. When we do something, we obviously will have aim, objective, goal and focus all of it or whatever suites the thing that we do. Then when we keep doing everything that takes us towards that will give us success. Let us say, we want to buy a house or rent a house. The success is hiring or buying a house that meets our needs and is within budget and time. So what is our next step? We go and look for houses. We dont just sit and ask someone or write in forums asking what is the secret of renting a house? and no one starts looking for houses after reading secrets of finding a house. Thatswhy, I believe in "Just do it" & "stay focused"
