But I think the most important thing for everyone is to remember is that success is measured by yourself and what you set out to achieve. The greatest thing any entrepreneur can achieve is to ensure that people know the benefits of who you are, and what you have to offer. –  Fran Killoway (Founder of Frasil and meka)
