In today's world,
money
 and material belongings are known as the standard of
people
's
success
. In my opinion, wealth is not an indicator of being successful, since there are various ways of gaining achievement. Undoubtedly, there are some aims and
people
 that stand by a successful
person
. To start with, a
person
's
success
 should not determined by prosperity by how much
money
 they earn.
Firstly
, the majority of
people
 have enough
money
 for creating and manufacturing,
in other words
 developing
money
 investment for taking their future under guarantee. Unfortunately, not all of them can manage how to spend specie,
consequently
 after a certain period wealth gets lost.
According to
 the statistics, over 40% of newly opened business areas expanded.
Hence
, all profits and losses should be considered accurately

 the reason for successful
people
 is, to come up with creative and useful ideas.
Nevertheless
, not all
people
 are gifted with
this
 capacity as in that case all of us would be moneyed.
Consequently
, divergent thinking always makes a
person
 forward. The other approach to obtaining
success
 is pushing yourself to aim for your goals and being persistent should be the key factor to realising ambitions.
Thus
, being a determined
person
 is what makes you close to a favourable outcome. In conclusion, even though we live in a society where a
person
's level of
success
 is largely determined by how wealthy he is, I disagree because, fortune and material belongings can be irrelevant in terms of gaining
success
 scale, which should be based on
people
's accomplishments with their own desires.

There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.
