How to compute $ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}{\frac{1+2\cdot2!+\dots+n\cdot n!}{(n+1)!}}$?

I'm asked to find the limit of the following sequence:

$$ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}{\frac{1+2\cdot2!+\dots+n\cdot n!}{(n+1)!}}$$

I've tried using the Stolz Theorem with $a_n=1+2\cdot2!+\dots+n\cdot n!$ and $b_n=(n+1)!$. As $\frac{a_{n+1}-a_n}{b_{n+1}-b_n} \rightarrow1$ I concluded that the limit of the sequence is 1.

I wanna know if my result is correct and if there is another way to find this limit.

You can make use of the following identity, which can be proved through induction: \begin{align*} 1 + 2\cdot 2! + 3\cdot 3! + \ldots + n\cdot n! = (n+1)! - 1 \end{align*}
