    PREFACE

    This book evolved out of my own lived experience. Having struggled through life and succeeded in many areas, I decided to share what I have learned over time from my struggles in order to help others succeed in their journey. The book is also informed and greatly enriched by decades of studying the lives and times of highly successful people and by researching and observing living millionaires and billionaires over time. As I have received and am still receiving, I have distilled the tools, techniques and testimonies from these studies, into twelve simple but powerful keys to success.

    I have labelled them strategies, meaning plans to get you from where you are now to where you want to be. They are also tools in your toolkit of life. You can select those you need to apply to your life and use them to achieve success and happiness.

    The greatest quest in life is for financial success and happiness. Many people just want to be happy. Some want to succeed and be free from money worries to live the life of their dreams. Unfortunately many have not succeeded in finding success with money or the elusive happiness they seek. Some have become discouraged.

    However, success in any area of life is no longer a secret. Successful people have opened the door of the citadel to knowledge, information and strategies for success in any area. Therefore anyone can now succeed in their relationships, careers, jobs, finances, health and fitness, emotional balance, spiritual and mental harmony. Thus anyone can find happiness to live the life they desire and deserve.

    There are many books on success and happiness in the market. However this book is based on two decades of research and diligent application that yielded and continues to produce immense results in every area of life. It is a self-help book and a book of discovery. In it you will discover the areas you need to discipline yourself or work harder in order to achieve the success you seek and find happiness.

    The twelve strategies for success range from desire and dreams you have for your life, to purpose that gives direction and meaning to your quest. There is laser sharp focus to concentrate the mind and actions to achieve your objective. You will also learn the importance of forming success habits through discipline, hard work and going the extra mile. Service offers you the opportunity to get what you want by helping others get what they want. Commitment to excellence ensures you are the best in your area of competence and gives you personal power. The book rounds off with having a positive attitude which accounts for 80% of success. As Denis Waitley said, The winner’s edge is all in the attitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.

    Successful people have applied these same strategies over time to remain at the top of their game, living a balanced and harmonious life of abundance and happiness. By emulating their diligence and discipline, you too can succeed in your personal and professional life and be happy to live the life of your dreams.

    I have applied these strategies to my life and used them as success keys
