Goal-oriented behavior is backed by motivation, which comes from wanting to not only set goals, but to complete them. My motivators are seeing the effects of my efforts positively coming into fruition.

Success isn't just financial. Liking yourself and being a booster for others is also something that takes focus and effort - perhaps the two are linked.

After growing up in Australia as a 4th-generation European Australian, I was amazed by how people from Greece, Italy, the British Isles, and other places became wealthy in material terms. House, car, furniture, and living in the more expensive suburbs of their chosen city. It took me years to realize they worked. They worked long hours, sometimes taking on two jobs, both husband and wife, and children too, as they grew up.
