The most remembered people on the planet are famous for their success and not recognized for their failures. The foundations of legend and legacy are rooted in their success over adversity and triumph over tragedy even though their individual failures are epic! Compared to those of us who are insignificant in the world and without recognition for our individual contributions to humanity, we long to admire the successes of others above our own.

There is no one better suited to talk about our individual success than you and I because there is no one more knowledgeable about who we are and what we have achieved...and how we have failed...than ourselves. To overlook our failures is a shame because it has been the mold for our character and value to others for their admiration though we may be more recognized for our failures than our successes.

Those we choose to follow and admire as successful people, leaders, and mentors, have been more visible in their successes than in their failures. The result is an abundance of humility born from an abundance of hardship and endurance. Every baby learns to walk by falling down and every entrepreneur learns to succeed by failing...some miserably and in grand fashion! I speak from personal experience of course.

Let it be acknowledged that your passions, life experience, education, and knowledge will be the fundamental spiritual, mental, and physical engine that drives your success. The greatest and most radical improvement to your life will be the result of an actionable plan and the purpose of your being. You have a fundamental opportunity to change the world and reality by building a lasting legacy from your life.

It is all about:

• Who you are
• Who you are perceived to be
• What you represent to others
• What you must do
• What you must not do
• How you will do it

This is the strategy for ultimate personal success that determines who you are, will be, and were to those that knew you. This is your opportunity for your legacy that will live after you have departed this world. It is not about luck, being born to the right family, advanced education, or extreme training. It is about your desire to win, your desire to achieve, and your passion to succeed against the challenges that you will face

It is not all about you. It is about how you share your success in the service with others.

This lesson shares the importance of your role in others' lives. It demands your selfless engagement in the transformation message that you share as those shared with you. Court with failure and turmoil, our world cries for hope and help to save the future, our future. As I share my thoughts and experiences, my passions, and my intention on social media sites, I am drawn to create my own inspiration from the ashes of my own failures and to share what I have learned in a personal open example of what worked for me in my quest for recognition and what might work for you in your quest for similar opportunities.

I've outlined the key elements to success that only you can apply from where you stand today. ...and the best place to start is from where you stand. This book is written for you to use as a guide for personal success. Read it now to get started, use it while you are working at success, and re-read it when you need to reestablish your identity as a success.

This book is the product of my experience, education, passions, and dreams. It represents the path I took to my success and a guide for you to your success. The opportunity to be the success you want to have never been better than today. Creating your "life" product and marketing your "life" experience is the most fundamental way of sharing, teaching, and improving your life as well as the life of other people.

The one thing that has never changed since I was old enough to believe in myself is that I was worth something more, I was worthy of something more and I could help other people achieve their dreams of personal wealth, freedom and independence.

Apply the principles outlined in this book, join my coaching program and or attend my training sessions and discover a wealth of information that will help you share your education, experience, passions, and talents that you learned on your road to personal success. Turn them into products that will also give you the reward for your life experience.

Let my story of failure and success and triumph over tragedy be a bright light in your quest for success as it examines the strength of our resolve to overcome and champion the cause; your cause for personal success.
