It is amazing how different we all think of Success. While some of us think in terms of material, measurable success, others think in terms of accomplishment, public acclaim, and/or moral intangibles. Whether measurable or not, we pursue our individual dreams to attain a feeling of accomplishment or perhaps in serving others. The major difference is that the former (measurable) is easy to quantify, while the latter (intangible) is steeped in opinion, judgment and fulfilment. As no universal measurement for success exists, personal options abound. The idea of Cracking the Success Code can be compared in some ways to finding the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Our ability to achieve our dreams can be totally enticing and attract us like a magnet. The beauty of achievement is that it can lead us to bigger dreams and greater successes. That is no surprise. Success is the very essence of our survival, focus, and growth. The CelebrityExperts(R) in this book have enjoyed cracking the success code. They have achieved a platform of success that can launch them to greater accomplishments. Learning how they have attained their goals is an important lesson to all who chase their dreams. If you wish to pursue your own dreams, you can learn from their experiences (both successes and failures), therein saving yourself both valuable time and expense. The authors herein can mentor you on their successes and even what they avoided - lessons worth their weight in gold It is now time for action.

Success is a concept universally embraced but individually defined. Our definition of success truly depends on our individual goals. For example, your goal might be monetary, a physical accomplishment or a moral achievement. To flesh out this topic, we are adding a few comments made by famous and successful people in diverse fields - similar and familiar concepts to those put forward by the CelebrityExperts(R) in this book.Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. Booker T. WashingtonYou can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed. Napoleon Hill The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will. Vince LombardiNothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas JeffersonIn our New Economy, the acquisition of success has been reformatted somewhat by business and industry even though its principles remain the same. The Electronic Revolution has changed the economic landscape as much as the Industrial Revolution. We now live more and more in "real time" and expect others to do the same. This era of instant communication has changed the ways in which we communicate and expect responses. To succeed today, it is useful, perhaps essential, to have a mentor. Errors will be made, but to minimize them will speed up your journey. The CelebrityExperts(R) in this book will help you along the way. They have been there and know the road. Who would be better to guide you? They will illuminate your path to The Soul Of Success...

The concept of Success combined with Economics is a formidable financial combination.The Celebrity Experts(R) in this book have been successful in different areas, but they all exhibit the major components of success: perseverance, passion, planning, risk-taking with a willingness to fail, decision-making, and, maybe the most important of all, they create change by taking action.The authors in this book share their success methodology and mindset.

When we leverage, we aggregate and organize existing resources to achieve success. Richie NortonIn order to utilize Leverage profitably, you must first amass all the ingredients necessary to make the change. Then, in order to achieve your goal, you have to implement the skills that you have acquired, and/or utilize a mentor. To use a cooking analogy, you cannot make a cake without all the ingredients - which reminds us that we can't accomplish our goals if we don't have all the elements required.That being said, one of the most important elements used by successful people to achieve success is mentorship. When working into a field in which we do not have adequate experience, progress is generally slow. And we know that we cannot always rely on luck, patronage or past experience to propel us in the right direction. One of the most productive alternatives to speed up our progress is to find, and be guided by, a mentor.Using the Celebrity Experts(TM) in this book as guides and mentors, you will learn of their successes and failures, both of which can act as a steady GPS to move you closer to your goal. In their absence, and left to your own plans and devices, the task may be even more daunting than you imagined. You will find that you can use their help to Leverage your situation, thereby saving you both time and finances in getting you to your goal.Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four-hour days. Zig Ziglar
