What is the precondition for successful business?

Any activity is driven by motive, therefore it is motivation, striving to achieve a goal that helps to achieve success. But if the goal is formulated vaguely or too overestimated, you are unlikely to be able to achieve it, the selection of methods and means for achieving it depends on how the goal is formulated. If something is violated in this chain of motive, goal and methods, the result of the activity will be far from being successful. Therefore, successful activity is possible in conditions of clear and well-coordinated work at all stages.
