successful

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'achieving results' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fuss with clues rewritten about 100' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rewritten' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'100' becomes 'C' (Roman numeral).
'fuss' put after 'clues' is 'cluesfuss'.
'cluesfuss' anagrammed gives 'sucessful'.
'sucessful' placed around 'c' is 'SUCCESSFUL'.
