After years of study, practice and observation, I penned what I have found to be timeless, simple, yet powerful perspectives I call Success Strategies. I recommend picking a different strategy daily and practice applying it throughout your day.
1. Realize that you are successful. (You can’t be successful and not realize it.)
2. Understand that all your emotions are based in either love or fear.
4. Learn the power of commitment.
5. Give yourself time alone regularly.
6. Admit that your thoughts, attitudes, behavior and actions determine who’s in your life and how
they treat you.
7. Define yourself!
8. Share your goals with people who will support you
10. Look for reasons to laugh.
11. Openly and sincerely compliment that which you admire and respect.
12. Realize that your egocentricity is your biggest enemy.
13. Discover the true meaning of faith and commit to it.
15. Everyone’s perception is their reality.
16. Realize that some people are toxic and should only be handled with great care and proper
protective precautions.
17. Realize that you’re always in a negotiation…if not with others, then with yourself.
18. Everyone’s greatest desire is to be right.
19. Understand that it’s not what you know, but what you do that counts.

22. Learn that wisdom is knowledge put to work.
23. Understand the difference between acceptance and resignation.
24. Know that love has nothing to do with being wanted or needed…that’s insecurity.
25. Discover that love, acceptance, sincerity and patience can solve almost any problem.
26. Know that true power is learning to respond rather than react.
27. Decide that you deserve to be happy.
28. Embrace the fact that true happiness is born of the ability to enjoy the moment.
30. Understand that life is perfect and everything is on schedule.
31. Adversity introduces us to ourselves.
32. Avoid identifying yourself by your causes.
33. Realize that achievement is not success.
34. Realize that life is an interactive game; it can’t be played alone.
35. Know that you can’t experience hatred without also experiencing fear.
36. Commit to improving your verbal and written communication skills. Poor communication is the
cause of most problems.
37. Write down all of the things you know “beyond the shadow of a doubt” and commit to them.
38. Allow people to discover. (Avoid trying to tell them.)
39. Discover that the most powerful way to help those you love is to lead by example (and realize
you’re leading by example all of the time).
40. One’s destiny is more uncovered than discovered.
41. Our capacity to grow is directly related to our willingness to let go.
42.
