The Success Principles
by Jack Canfield with Janet Switzer
A readable guide to achieving your goals
If you can benefit from advice on how to achieve your dreams, this is the book to read. Since we can use all the help we can get, it behooves us to read books that give us a detailed roadmap to success.
The book is readable. It takes you, the reader, from a discussion of accepting responsibility for your life, through the rules and techniques of self-motivation to the strategies for your personal growth. The authors discuss attitude, relationships, teamwork and creative ways to make more money.
Whether you need to start at the beginning or you are already in the process of transforming yourself into a successful person, the book has a lot of down-to-earth advice you can use. As in most motivational books, the advice is not new. It is a compilation of research into the lives of successful people and the principles of motivation.
The authors continually focus on getting started, taking the first step and never giving up. That repeated advice, coupled with real-life stories and exercises, gives you a framework to follow. Canfield offers 64 principles that can change your life. They’re not pie-in-the-sky principles, they are real and attainable with dedication and hard work. They require the breaking of old habits and attitudes and the forming of new ones. They pertain to us personally, professionally and financially.
The book starts you wherever you are right now. You will be led through the principles and strategies needed to transform your life. The authors present the way and then motivate you to begin your journey. Whether you want to be successful in school, at home, on the job or in every aspect of your life, you will find the guidelines to achieving your goals.
Interest is easy to sustain with subtitles like Stop Settling for Less Than You Want, Your Inner Global Positioning System, The Choice of What You Believe Is Up to You, Do It Now, and principles like 99% is a Bitch; 100% is a Breeze.
Both Canfield and Switzer are living proof of these principles. They have formulated and followed them, and both have achieved success.
It’s the kind of book you mark up, dog ear and re-read a number of times. You can flip to any page and find something to motivate you. Read it, start following it and read it again. You can also check out the website at www.TheSuccessPrinciples.com for more motivational materials.
