Success Is Yours!

It was a crazy idea—bring a group of people together to write an inspirational book about success. In a weekend.

If there were 20 people contributing, the editor would be happy. More than 70 did.

They worked with the suggested themes of career, finances and relationships—and were asked to keep entries to 200 words or less. (More difficult than it sounds.) They embraced the challenge to provide readers with mini-doses of inspiration—whether read in one sitting or one before bed each night.

They submitted their pieces within a tight timeline. They took part in a two-hour editing marathon and watched as their writing was reviewed and polished to shine brighter.

They cheered with every update and marveled at their own ability.

These authors are success stories in themselves.

Now we share with you the results of that weekend: the inspirational essays, narratives and insights about success in relationships, career, finances and life. Our intention is this book will empower and uplift you, too, to be your better self and let your success shine.
