successful
Achieved one's goals
Successful means achieving a desired outcome or reaching a goal.
A successful business turns a profit; a successful surgery accomplishes what the surgeon intended.
The word often implies wealth, status, or recognition: a successful lawyer, a successful author.
But success is relative to the goal—a successful escape needs only to get away.
