achieving <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/achieve> desired <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/desired> results <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/result>, or achieving <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/achieve> the result <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/result> of making a lot of money <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/money>: a successful architect <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/architect>/doctor <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/doctor>/lawyer <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/lawyer> Fortunately, my second attempt <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/attempt> at starting <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/start> a business <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/business> was more successful than my first The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Usage says: 1 achieving <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/achieve> what you wanted, or having the effect <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/effect> or result <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/result> you intended <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/intend> The operation was successful. a highly successful (=very successful) meetingsuccessful in (doing) something Were you successful in persuading him to change his mind?2 a successful business <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/business>, film <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/film>, product <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/product> etc makes a lot <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/lot#lot__7> of money The show’s had a pretty successful run. a highly successful (=very successful) product I love this one: the top rated Urban Dictionary entry is this!
