"This book is about your overall successful life. It’s about the end goal. Of course, you will have many incremental goals, achievements and setbacks along the way, but what you want to accomplish is to sit back, reflect on your life and say, 'I am now living the successful life that I set out to live.' What an achievement that will be!" -- Your Successful Life, Chapter 2

“Every day I walk into my office and look at a quote I have pasted to my wall.  It reads, “good is the enemy of great.”  In athletics, we are striving to be the best, not just compete.  Society deems no prize worthy for finishing second. What a burden some might think that path is, with no accolades or ribbons for trying and coming up short. But to me, success is measured in the journey and impact you have along the path of pursuing greatness. Pitfalls…sure, setbacks…all too common. How do you respond? Give up or press on? Attack with a mindset of greatness and the ride will be far more compelling than just settling for second best. This book demonstrates the possibilities of reaching great. It outlines what it takes to succeed and how to enjoy the journey along the way. Read this book and prepare yourself for success.”
-- Stephanie Norman is the 
Associate Head Coach for the Women's Basketball
 team at the University of Louisville

It’s hard to dream about success if you don’t know what it is. It’s even more difficult to achieve it if you haven’t defined it. Everyone’s definition of success is different. It’s unique to you and it’s important that you discover what it is so that you can visualize it, make a plan to achieve it and live your successful life.

“Belinda’s success playbook is a fantastic way for you to build the life you’ve always wanted.
I especially like her insight on preparing yourself for change and being bold. This book is a game changer for people who want to take control of their lives and generate success!”
-- Joe Scherrer is the Founder and President of The Leadership Crucible

“As the owner of an engineering firm, I push our employees to succeed and to never settle for the status quo. We stress that it is easier to do it right the first time than to do it wrong and have to redo it. And, believing in yourself and staying focused can lead to accomplishing goals. This book is an excellent guide for defining and achieving success and I am going to recommend it to our staff and my peers in the engineering industry.”   -- Kim Dunaway is a retired owner of a civil engineering firm
