My Success Is Your Success
This book in our change management series is addressed to thoughtful students, parents, workers, educators, artists, athletes, physicians, managers, leaders, retirees, writers, or coaches, whether they work alone or belong to a team or organization struggling with and committed to SUCCESS. Our hope, or goal, is to spark new intellectual capital by sharing ideas. In short we aim to publish a book that disturbs the present in order to bring forth a better LIFE.
 
 

You want to discover how to be successful in life!

Of course, we all want to succeed in life. We all want to be able to live our dream life away from all the struggles and constant worry of our everyday problems.

 

We all have different definitions of success, but for most people, success can mean that you want to live a happy, wealthy, contented and overall, a better life than the one you are currently living in, especially if it is far from the life you expected.

 

If now you are not there yet, or you would like to be there, and you feel within yourself that you will succeed by putting in the necessary effort to achieve your goals, then it will eventually happen.

 

Now however you define success whether financial, spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, philanthropic, community or family, the most important thing you need to know about success to be successful is that success is important and that you are solely responsible for it.

 

You need to dig deep into your life story to understand who you are as a human being, where you fit into this world, how you can positively impact the world, and how you can leave a lasting legacy.

 

This is the goal of « My Success is Your Success » which will help you develop a clear and detailed plan for your personal growth, success, and happiness in life. Here it is a guide of questions, reflections, and answers.

 

I encourage you to be completely open and transparent with yourself as you answer the difficult and challenging questions you will ask yourself about who you think you should be in the future.

 

At this point, it is important to keep in mind that changing your life for a better destiny is solely up to you!

 

If you want to grow and progress in your life as well as in your career, you obviously need to equip yourself with the skills and knowledge to be a proactive person in the face of threats and ready for the future, to achieve success.

This book describes how to improve your ability to reach your goals for success. Success is the only part of our lives that we can achieve by what we do or don't do.
