Success Built To Last
Creating A Life That Matters

Success Built To Last is a book that allows one to imagine discovering precisely what it is that successful people all around the world have in common.

Francis Hasselbein, Chairman of the Leader To Leaders Institute, recently commented on Success Built To Last, “At last, a powerful new resource, for leaders struggling to create ‘a life that matters,’ a guide book for the journey to greater significance for leaders across the sectors, around the world.”

Success Built to Last: Creating a Life that Matters encourages the reader to work hard at what you love. The point is made that work does not ever feel like work when you are doing something that you truly enjoy; that you feel passionate about, and that you feel compelled to do.

We have all heard the saying, “time flies when you are having fun”. Well, this makes complete sense, because when you are fully engaged in a task, you become enthralled in it and hours seem to go by at a tremendous pace.

Another by-product of doing what we love is that we tend to want to share what we are passionate about with others. To us, we are so attached to our passion, it is hard to imagine that others would not appreciate and/or benefit from learning more about what we do. In this sense, we become better servants to society.

The authors of Success Built To Last takes this concept one step farther and tells us that “It’s dangerous not to do what you love”. The truth of the matter is that if we are not spending the majority of our time doing the thing that energizes us, we will eventually lose to the one that is doing just exactly that.

It makes complete sense that when we do what we love, we tend to work longer hours, we work harder, we are more committed to quality, and we are totally vested in ensuring the success of the final product. Our chances of losing out diminish greatly!

Success Built To Last wakes us up to the fact that today we all are independent contractors. The idea of job security has long flown out the window. There is no job security. Therefore, the best way for us to secure our future, is to increase our level of personal capital.

Personal capital is increased when we are fully engaged and passionate about the business we are in, the services we provide and the quality of the products we sell.

The authors of Success Built To Last remind us that making a life, is even more important than making a living. They obviously encourage us to do both, with total engagement in order to ensure a life of prosperity, joy and optimism.

The idea of “service to others” is a recurring theme in this book. The authors believe there is a powerful synergy when you combine service to your fellow man, with passion for your mission.

When we feel a calling deep within us to do that thing we do, and when we actually listen to the tiny voice in our head and our heart that is pointing out where our direction in life should be, the work is never considered drudgery, or just a job.

When we are called to serve and we answer the call, when we respond to the invitation – we are met with joy and personal fulfillment.

Success Built To Last clearly points out why successful people stay successful and how you can do the same:

• Why it’s so difficult to do what matters to us most, and what we can do to change that.
• See what you have in common with successful people who have positively impacted the world that we all share. Key leaders such as Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, John F. Kennedy and Maya Angelou.
• Learn how our historic leaders of the past were successful in harvesting their victories, despite facing tremendous challenges. See how they found the courage from their inner reserves to face the obstacles in front of them.

Success Built To Last is highly engaging as it draws on face-to-face discussions with literally hundreds of outstanding leaders from all around the globe. You will meet CEO’s, billionaires and leaders of nations, in addition to the more common everyday unsung heroes who have no less impressive success stories to share.

We encourage our readers to add Success Built To Last to their personal leadership library.
