Strategies for Success: The Keys to Success in College, Career, and Life

What is your personal definition of success?

Every businessperson agrees you need an excellent strategy to build a successful company. Almost nobody builds one for their own life.

This workbook is that strategy. It walks you through defining what success actually means to you, identifying the values that should drive your decisions, and building a clear plan for the life you want ten years from now.

I built the first version for myself, after failing out of college and realizing nobody was coming to fix it. I read more than 300 books looking for answers and distilled what worked into something I could use.

That was 35 years ago. Since then I have taught this material to more than 250,000 people, from college students to Fortune 100 executives, and I update the workbook every year as I learn more.

What you will walk away with:

• A written definition of success in your own terms rather than someone else's
• Your top five personal values and an honest read on how well you are living them
• A vivid picture of your ideal life ten years out
• Clarity on what you can control, what you can influence, and what to stop carrying
• A goal-setting method that fits how you actually work
• The ability to tell the difference between a good opportunity and the right one

The exercises are direct and some of them are uncomfortable. But people finish this workbook with something very few people ever have: a clear picture of the life they want and a plan to build it.
