Answers
This topic can be very complex, as experiences vary a lot from person to person, and the definition of "successful" can be a moving target. However, there are a few frameworks that you can implement and move towards achieving success. I like to use the PREMISE-VISION-PURPOSE-STRATEGY framework, about which you can learn more below:
1. Start with a PREMISE
What are your beliefs around the idea of success? Do you believe that you have to work long hours to be successful? Is success tied to any amount of money (yearly income or net worth)? Do you believe that only after a number of years of experience you can be successful? Ponder your premises and keep what makes the most sense to you.
2. Define your VISION
What exactly does success mean to you? Is it having your own office with dozens of employees? Is it a nice home? Maybe an educational title?
The idea here is to create a (few) picture(s) that will help you connect with the idea of the meaning of success to you and how you will know that you have become successful.
3. Think about your PURPOSES
Why do you want to follow the route of success? Why is it worth the effort? Is it because you want to have more quality of life? Maybe to achieve a better life-work balance?
4. Your STRATEGY
With the previous topics defined, determine what are the steps that you need to take to implement them. Define milestones, timelines and everything that you can.
For instance, let's suppose that you've defined (your premise) that to be successul you have to be able to enjoy the money that you have earned and have enough time to do so. Your vision of success puts you in the role of the head of an office with assistants working for you, and your clients recognizing you for your high level of professionalism, which ultimately gives you the power to choose your customers and even turn down some offers. The purpose of doing so is to travel the (post-COVID) world to attend business conferences in fancy hotels, and have a great quality of life, with time to enjoy your meals, engage in personal activities, connecting with people who are important to you, etc.
With that in mind, your strategy goes through the decision of owning a business or achieving a high-ranking position in a corporation, investing and managing your money well, committing to personal activities (non-work), etc; when will you achieve that level of success. Let's go one step further and suppose that you decide to own a business, and reach that level of success in 5 years from now. What type of business are you going to own? Do you have a business plan? Maybe in the first and second years you can work long hours to create the foundation your business needs to take off and take it easier in the following years? What do you need to do today to help you create a successful business? Do you need to learn new skills? Do you need funding? These are just some questions, of course. Keep track of your milestones and timelines to ensure that you are on the right path to success.
This preparation work can be long (from weeks to months, depending on where you're at now), but very inspiring and pleasurable at the same time. You will learn a lot about yourself. You will have to learn what successful people who inspire you do or have done to achieve success. The truth is that there's no right answer, and only you can decide what works for you.
I know that this is not the most straightforward answer, but it is a broad topic. I hope to have helped, nevertheless.

The very first and last thing I do every day is read 1 page about positive attitude. It's small enough to never have an excuse for skipping, but done at those 2 critical moments... it has had a dramatic effect on setting the tone of my daily life.
My favorite book is Jeffrey Gitomer's "Little Gold Book of Yes! Attitude". It changed my attitude and my life.
Can you condition a journey? No, you cannot. It had to be made by the individual himself. Success is not something you become and be, it is something that is a process or progress towards a worthy ideal. I define it here as a journey of something that is ongoing, that is never finished. But there are methods to “condition” your success like creating a subconscious mind map, by giving your brain the tools necessary to turn that vision into reality or committing to overcoming the negativity, but these are only possible if you are ready to take the journey.

My honest answer is that I read the bible every day and it gives me courage to proceed even when times are dark and scary. I'm not promoting religion but simply saying what is true for me.
Time and dedication.

Choose a word to live by, such as "greatest," then every time you feel fear, choose to live by your word instead of allowing fear to take over.
Hi! In order to succeed you have to truly believe you are already a successful person. You attract what you are so if you're feeling unlucky or unsuccessful, you'll be just that.

I'm a consultant in the US. How do I attract and sell myself to talented remote web and graphic designers as someone great to work for?
Hi there, I've built and scaled 3 management consulting businesses to $1M+ in the past 5 years. I'm a little unsure as to what your problem is. Are you wanting to help designers with their business or are you trying to hire talented designers to complete some work? For really good designers, their desire is to do quality work, with clients they like and be compensated well for it. If you have a proven methodology or process that helps them get those types of clients you'll be off the races. But, you have to communicate clearly the specific problem you address for them. So if they are a landscape designers you can say "With my program and coaching we will get you in front of architects and seen as the go-to expert who does awesome work." Does that make sense?AV

What's a great way to get a "foot in the door" with major companies with consulting?
Recently, I've hit a "tipping point" where I have enough content (blog posts, podcasts, interviews, etc...) that companies now regularly seek me out for advice. "To be known, you must teach" - Nathan Barry After I wrote "This is a web page" (http://justinjackson.ca/words.html) I was contacted by VPs at Coca-Cola and Google. They weren't offering me work: they just wanted to say they enjoyed my writing. Writing, and amplifying your content, is one way to get your foot in the door.JJ

How can small consultancies close BIG companies as clients?
Hello, I've been working in one of the biggest agencies in the world before and now I own a small digital agency. I've found a way to close big clients really easily by doing the following: Connecting with them directly and identifying their biggest pain points. Then you need to showcase that you understand them (mainly with content marketing and talking with them) and you know how to deal with that and making an offer. The first thing I do is I find my niche, the people I want to work with. I connect with them and I ask them for an interview. During that interview I don't sell them anything, I just want to learn more about their business, what are their current issues, challanges, etc. I'm looking for the biggest pain that I know how to solve. If I identify one, I ask them if they want to receive free content on that topic. When they say yes, I put it in my database. Then I start releasing some great content for them on the topic. Then at some point a make a sale by telling them we're growing and we have a few spots open for new clients. I make them fight to become one. I used this system to talk to and close Fortune 500 and Inc 5000 companies so if you're interested to learn more, feel free to schedule a call. I'd love to share my ideals & methodology with you.MZ

Should I start a consulting service in a large city, or should I stay in a medium sized city?
Because of the nature of your consulting business (web development) you have the advantage of being able to effectively offer your services remotely. I think more important than deciding between a large or small city, is finding a city where you would enjoy living and building a network. Is there a city where you have a critical mass of friends, family, potential business partners? Is there a city you'd simply be happier in because it fits your lifestyle, whether it's access to outdoors or city living? Do you have a more specific market segment you'd like as your clients? Do you want to service just tech startups? Health tech startups? Larger companies? Unless you plan to really narrow down into a specific niche, like consulting just for the aerospace industry where the companies are usually found in a specific city or region, web development offers you a lot of geographic flexibility. More and more companies like Automatic or Zapier have completely remote teams and the trend towards that is only accelerating. Choose a city where you'll be happiest and most likely to be able to participate in the lifestyle the city provides. Not only will you be more productive if you're happy, you'll have more opportunities to grow your network organically by meeting friends through your hobbies or social activities that then turn into clients. I'd caution against being overly analytical or coldly rational when making this decision. Follow your gut. Choose a city you'd love to live in and grow a business in. I know wildly wealthy and successful entrepreneurs in cities both small and large.JI
