What separates people who achieve their goals from those who never reach them?
SUCCESS: 9 Characteristics of Personal Success explores nine principles that can increase your chances of achieving personal, professional, financial, and spiritual success.
Drawing from his own life as a retired U.S. Army Captain Chaplain, combat veteran, missionary, entrepreneur, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and author, Tom Latham shares lessons learned through military service, business, ministry, family, sports, and personal challenges.
SUCCESS: 9 Characteristics of Personal Success explores nine principles that can increase your chances of achieving personal, professional, financial, and spiritual success.
Drawing from his own life as a retired U.S. Army Captain Chaplain, combat veteran, missionary, entrepreneur, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and author, Tom Latham shares lessons learned through military service, business, ministry, family, sports, and personal challenges.
Using the memorable SUCCESS framework, Latham examines nine characteristics:
Surpassing - overcoming obstacles and refusing to quit.
Unity - building partnerships, teams, families, and brotherhoods.
Character - establishing the moral foundation necessary for lasting success.
Competence - becoming skilled, prepared, and valuable in your profession.
Commitment - developing the discipline to finish what you start.
Emotional Energy - controlling and directing the emotions that influence performance.
Sagacity - using wisdom, experience, and sound judgment to make better decisions.
Service - creating value by helping other people.
Opportunity - recognizing and seizing the opportunities that can change your life.
This is not a book about becoming the next billionaire. It is about identifying your own definition of success and increasing your chances of achieving it.
Success is built through preparation, perseverance, character, competence, relationships, wisdom, service, and opportunity.
What will success look like in your life?
