This slang term coined in the 2020s has two different common uses.
It is mainly used in the context of an activity or goal that has not yet succeeded, but is fated to succeed and is currently in progress. A "success in progress".
Most often, the term is used in the romantic world when someone is fumbling major bitches but is in denial at how hard they're fumbling, saying the fumble is just a "success in progress". Usually not kissing someone you have pinned against the wall when they say you should have is a fumble, not a success in progress. But users of the phrase often use the term on these obvious fumbles, creating a sort of paradox between the actual meaning of the word and its most popular usage.

When you can barely afford your workshop rent and electric, pay 1 guy to make tea £350 a week, your apprentice £150 a week, your main tech £500 a week, and then get 2 sub techs in on £160 each for 2 days work. Whilst still living at home, sleeping on your mums couch because all the other rooms are occupied, and your credit accounts are closing quicker than a bank in a recession. #MODATEC

This usually happens when people from relatively humble beginnings make it into middleclass/upper middleclass and start giving unsolicited advice to massage their ego or make it seem like they are helping you. They tend to become know it all's and wont let you get a word in, wont accept there are other ways of doing things or just assume they are always right.

Make sure you get paid the proper rate when doing tasks for people in positions of power. One of the reasons they are rich and successful is that they prefer to make money for themselves rather than for others. That’s a lesson you need to learn.
