Actually defining what "success" is should be the first step... What is "sucess" in the general sense ? I'm quite happy and successful, but I'm not an entrepreneur, nor do I want my revenues to rise exponentially. I'm sure for other people "success" is measured in the amount of money they get, but that seems really reductive.

Yes, this is exactly why I get a little nervous when the topic of "success" comes about. More often than not, "success" is used as a synonym for "wealth". Particularly in a study, where you really want to have something objectively measurable. Personally, I define "success" as "achieving your goals". For some, that may be to maximize wealth. For others, it may be to live a certain sort of life, or to have personal satisfaction, and so forth. There are probably as many definitions of "success" as there are people.
