Success for Teens

While I normally write about success in business - and in life - for adults, I've just finished reading a short book that should be read by every teenager. It's called "Success for Teens" and if you are a parent of a teenager - or preteen - you should get a copy and try to make sure your teen reads it.

This little gem of a book covers things like Dream-building, Goal-setting, Self-esteem. Self-motivation, Habits, Purpose and all of the things that shape successful people. Things they can't teach in school. And, it is written in language that teens understand and filled with examples of teenagers who used "the slight edge" to shape their lives for the better. I've been a student of self-motivation and success principles since my 20's and credit these studies with turning my life around and becoming the person I am today. If I had come across a book like this (and been motivated to read it) in my teens I would have started 10 years earlier and who knows what I could have accomplised. If you have a teen - or pre-teen - I urge you to get a copy of this book & see of you can get your son or daughter to understand it can make the difference between success or failure in everything they do, or want to do.

The book is by the editors of the Success Foundation. It can be obtained by logging onto www.successfoundation.org and clicking on "get involved". A single copy of the book is only $6.00 shipping included. A great investment in your child's future (and a good guide to parenting as well).

Here's to you, and your success,
