This book is my invitation for you to explore how you can create enduring success by focusing on your vision, managing your energy and intentionally designing a blueprint for achievement. Some individuals might start their path motivated by money, power and fame, but they ultimately discover that they can find a higher meaning by leading and creating an inspiring legacy. That's my definition of enduring success.

I want to share some of the lessons I've learned over the past 35 years about achievement. I've had incredible opportunities to work with remarkably successful individuals and I want to share these lessons learned hoping that it might help someone else, that at least one idea can be useful to someone seeking inspiration, guidance, a breakthrough or how to leave a path for others to follow.
