      Acknowledgments

      Some very important people in my life made this project possible: my beautiful wife, Mary, with her enduring love and encouragement regarding this project; my daughter, Rachel, one of the most beautiful girls in the world and a fantastic gymnast; and my fantastic son, Nehemiah, one of the best tennis players in the world. Finally, to my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coverson, thanks for giving me a strong foundation in life. You two are the best parents in the world.

      Introduction

      Success is for everyone, and I do want to reiterate the word everyone. This book will assist in changing your mindset in regards to ideas about success. As the title of this book states, Success is for everyone. To reprogram our mindset regarding success and failure, we need to take an objective look at how our society measures success. We need to determine who measures or evaluates our individual performance. Should each individual measure his or her own performance? Why should society tell us when we are successful? It is time we change our mindset because success is for everyone.

      This book will also investigate how success affects performance and effectiveness. The very important task of measuring our success will be thoroughly reviewed, and this process will also give us detailed insights on how to change our assessment of individual performance. We know that success in the past can motivate us in our future; therefore, motivational factors in regards to success will be analyzed. Finally, we will determine what effect success can have on individual behavior in our everyday lives. As stated earlier, if success is for everyone, we must develop our own individual measuring system. If we want something we never had, we have to do something we have never done.

      As most people know, success is never easy; however, we can define success in a very simple way. Should each individual have the ability to determine when success has occurred? Why should we wait for the outside world to determine our level of success? It appears that most people wait for the outside world’s approval when they are determining their success in life. Success and what it involves is a very important concept that we will thoroughly explore in this book. This book will dispel all of the misconceptions about success and how success has been and will always be within reach for everyone.

      Webster’s dictionary defines success as the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame—a successful person or thing, such as someone or something that has achieved a goal. The reoccurring question throughout this book is this: Why should society define our level of success? I
