Ouch! Now you are making me think.
The Dictionary definition of the word successful is: achieving or resulting in the required outcome.
Basically, I believe that if you have a goal, such as making money, climbing a mountain or reaching level 7 on Yahoo Answers - and you manage to do it - then you are have successfuly achieved your goal. But a successful person nowadays is usually defined by what they have achieved in business, whether that be wealth or power.
Hope that I am successful in answering your question.

To use Creative methods rather than competitve methods to acquire wealth to benefit self for the benefit Humans.
Acheiving balance in the Spiritual, mental, & material, realms of life such that it makes a way for others with less fortunate circumstances to do the same.
Power & Prestige are tools linked to Wealth. Wealth in the monetary sense is necessary to achieve & maintain the benefits of Physical, Mental, and Spritual well being.
Is money everything?
No but it can give you greater access to the things that help you to be comfortable & happy. For instance, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, telecommunication, data communication, medical care, entertainment, education and the ability to help others,is all related to money. As such they are all linked to my happiness.
Lack of money is not a good thing when a loved one is in need and there is no resource with which to render assistance lack of money limits my ability to be generous. Generosity makes me happy. I can lend or give because it is my choice. It troubles me to lend, when I would rather give and it also troubles me to give, when I would rather lend.
Attitude whether one is very wealthy or not is the main component of happiness or sadness. Money can make it easier, because it can lessen the things that you must apply your energy, so that you can excel and accomplish the things that reflect your passion.
Money makes a good servant but a poor master.

being successful means different things to different people; it is NOT necessarily about wealth;assets;fame;power
also about being comfortable in your own skin & satisfied with where you are in life; it can mean that you have gotten out & tried new things whatever the result; overcoming adversity in life; helped others to have better day/life
so many things.
