Circumstances do not make a person; they reveal a person. You are likely to face many challenges and obstacles on your road to success. After following the principles outlined in this book you will focus on the solutions to overcome those issues rather than blaming your circumstances. This will set you apart from others. People who fail to achieve what they want to tend to avoid taking responsibility. They blame the past, the challenges they've had, society and situational factors. This is not you. Your circumstances are what they are. What has happened in your past has happened; and these are facts that cannot change. However, starting today you can change the future, if you want to. In this book you will find it does not matter what your background or education consists of, or your sex, creed or ethnicity. I use a number of examples of real life people throughout, to illustrate that success is all down to principles such as focus, attitude, persistence, hard work and the belief we have in ourselves. You will find these principles and others used inside this book, which will help drive you toward your own model of success, whatever that might be. The amazing thing is that there are no secrets, no 'golden bullet'. In fact, the answers you have been searching for are a lot closer to you than you realise, they are well within your reach. Why? Because the road to your success all starts with a thought process and a decision to take massive action, to move forward to where you want to be in life. the purpose of this book is to offer inspiration and insights that will be useful to you along your prosperous journey, so enjoy the journey!
