How to be successful in life and business – It's pretty simple

Manning

God made you special.  He gave you unique gifts, perspective and passions.  If we’re all special why are some of us happier and more successful than others?  The difference between success and failure is the support system around you.  People and books are what make my life what it is today.  That sounds simplistic because it’s not that complicated.

  1. Read good books.
  2. Surround yourself with encouraging people who are as hungry for success as you are.
  3. Take action and seek accountability

Your Friends
They protect me from and lift me up from discouragement (I feel it often), encourage me when I have good ideas and force me to keep up with their own activity.  No one wants to be the lazy one in a group.

Your Library
I spend more money on books that many people spend on food.  They give me energy, ideas and a road map.  If you’re lacking energy, ideas or a plan then you need read more.  11,000 libraries are going to start carrying books in Kindle format this week so cost isn’t an excuse.

Who fights for you? What are you going to read now?
