Everyone wants to win. Winning is fun and an offspring of completion - the completion of attempted tasks by meeting deadlines or overcoming competition. The factors that come together in order to win include: knowledge, planning, action, work and timing. These may be accompanied by Lady Luck, who can, if she shows up, make winning look easy. In the world at large, winning is synonymous with success.There have probably been more quotes and sayings about winning than most other topics.

Simply put, the word 'authentic' is synonymous with genuine. The world craves authenticity and we all gravitate to that ideal. Interestingly, the achievement of an authentic personality is affected by environmental and cultural experiences.

This desire generates the trust that powers society, and accomplishing authenticity is an ongoing process. There have been numerous thoughts expressed lauding authenticity. In the same manner, the authors in this book have developed their own approach that worked for them and which they advocate to help you.As the title "Keys to Authenticity" suggests, the Celebrity Experts herein write on the subject from different angles, any of which we can add to our repertoire in pursuing success in our field of choice.

Everybody loves a winner as well as to win. Winning has become a central theme in our lives. The Disney-esque blockbuster movie, RUDY, has all the elements of winning that we admire, and so does Rudy Ruettiger, the central figure, and an author in this book. The real-life Rudy is a figure we admire and respect for his focus and perseverance.In showing the grit and determination needed to attend the University of Notre Dame and represent the 'Fighting Irish' football team, Rudy endeared himself to us all. In reading For The Win, we put ourselves, perhaps vicariously, into Rudy's heroic shoes and imagine ourselves as game winners. For what Rudy had to overcome, he lifts us all to a higher altitude in his relentless determination to succeed!In addition, the CelebrityExperts(R) in this book provide us with other portals to success. While one of Rudy's main characteristics was perseverance, our other authors highlight different elements useful for achieving success, including preparation, mindset and risk, among others. These authors can help readers avoid the potholes and reach their own successes quicker with their guidance and advice. They want to make us all winners too!Focus on your dream and never quit. It is always too soon to quit. If you quit, you can't succeed. By achieving your dream you will be an inspiration to others. Rudy Ruettiger

This quote, used by Jack Canfield in this book, is one of countless quotations that verbally illustrate the "magic" of starting a new journey or project "today." And "magic" it is, because sages and successful people have always emphasized the need to start your process immediately, if not sooner.Successful people tend not to understand doing things "tomorrow." Even inexperienced but ambitious people take only a moment to understand the benefits of acting promptly. Acting promptly should not be taken to mean hastily, or without planning, but as an overpowering caveat to start the job at hand.Would you like to succeed? Most people do. And there are no boundaries for choosing goals. Our goals may include our desire to succeed in business, academia, societal or personal accomplishment, humanitarian improvement or any other field we select. The Celebrity Experts(R) who have made their journeys to success in this book share with you the importance of getting started and the potholes to avoid.This is why the title of this book, Success Starts Today, is reflected so appropriately in the famous words of Martin Luther King, Jr.: You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

A BLUEPRINT for SUCCESS is the architectural rendition of what success should look like. It will give you the detail and various views of the concept. It is no secret that achieving goals is a personal and individual pursuit. Your goals are invariably different to those of your neighbour. One important secret in pursuing your goal is in your ability to identify it clearly and distinctly. Accomplishing any goal for success requires us to make changes to the identified product/service/present condition or situation, in order to produce what we are trying to achieve. While difficult to define success succinctly, we have been given many pointers along the way. Successful and well-known people have always given us food for thought. A few examples are: "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." ~ John R. Wooden "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." ~ Lao Tzu "What the mind can conceive, it can achieve." ~ Napoleon Hill "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." ~ Milton Berle The CelebrityExperts® in this book have dedicated themselves to their goals. Their blueprints include the good, the bad and the ugly. They are not afraid of success or failure. Their experiences will guide and mentor you as you pursue your own goals and begin designing your own SUCCESS BLUEPRINT.
