how do you know you are successful?

How do you know when you are successful in the adult industry? is it purely measured by $ or popularity or maybe awards?

To me being successful is loving the work that you do.
Even if your just getting by.
So many people just do a job and hope the money will bring happiness and success.

I have to agree with Cam. Loving what you do is the true measure of happiness and success. Although, doing what you love to do AND making money is a very good combination.

My definition...

wearing only my underwear to work and being able to the pay bills

I think in business the bottom line is the key. If you can run the business and make a living then you have made it.

Yes, if you love what you do then you have added success!

I LOVE what I do!

I have to agree with everyone.

We scrape some months to make the bills, but we LOVE our job.

Somedays I never even get dressed and just lounge in my undies. (Scary image for those of you who know me.)

We have a happy, loving family.

We are sucessfull.

does 90210 make me a "snob" or "successful" or both...?

it helps to be surrounded by multitudes of "successful" people - helps the juices flow you know...

Cam is the modest one in our family - I am not!

Have to agree with you on this.

Its good to see so many people on the same train of thought as I was...success to me is being happy about what you are doing and earning enough to support your own style of living.

and of course, I did forget to mention that Cam and I get to live and work together 24/7,
and enjoy our 10 years plus together as romantic and monogamous partners and, fuck together on and off screen and, fuck some of the hottest men on a very regular basis...(on and off screen), and,
enjoy a terrific drug and alcohol free life (which is difficult in this nasty and horrible drug infested business) and best yet,
look and feel fantastic - ripped and pumped at our ripe old ages of 43 and 53 -
and we get paid to do it all - now that's success -
(anybody can make money! - but how many people can be happy?

I know - we have been dubbed the "nauseating porn couple from Beverly Hills who take over and won't quit..." (by some) and (enviable and iconographic) by others...
we're use to it and I don't care which way anyone labels us - we're just doing what we do and having fun doing it.. and, we're successful at it -

When you look forward to every day as opposed to being depressed by them.
