Book excerpt: Next to food and clothing, achieving personal and professional success is rated at the very top of the hierarchical order of human needs. Everybody wants to be somebody! In this ultimate success book that includes timeless information for generations to come, the author has meticulously chronicled proven skills, strategies and secrets that, if regularly followed, will empower the reader to live the life that they imagine. Just like your car’s or phone’s GPS, these life navigation skills can get you from where you are to where you want to go in your career. In addition, critically important knowledge and abilities, including job interviewing, must-know people skills, writing, and public speaking, are covered. In this book, the author has scoured the world’s literature on these topics and interviewed highly successful people to provide one-stop shopping regarding the most proven and practical recommendations for future career success. He has also peppered the text with personal experiences and motivational/inspirational success stories, as well as testimonials/sage advice/quotes from the world’s most successful people --past and present. The key objectives of this book are to: Highlight the foundational factors underlying future career success: love what you do; realize that your behaviors largely determine your luck in life; emphasize that highly successful people take 100% responsibility for their actions and destiny; and that the secret to success involves the selfless serving of others. The rewards return—through a boomerang effect. Provide specific examples and inspirational stories highlighting 10 critical behavioral skills for success. These include: look for the good in people and situations; how to activate the law of attraction; establish goals in writing ("if it’s not on paper, it’s vapor"); take action (#1 success characteristic); know that persistence pays; ask for things you want; enhance your speaking, writing, and interviewing skills; why it’s important to work with and learn from people you want to emulate; the essence of superb people skills (e.g., integrity, making others feel important); and to regularly apply the law of sow and reap. Detail complementary approaches, tactics, and perspectives that can help you achieve your breakthrough (major) life goals. These include: time management skills and the 80/20 rule; looking for greener pastures; showcasing your talents (visibility → opportunities); committing to never-ending improvements in performance, service (or products); embracing discipline/focus/sacrifice; routinely exceeding people’s expectations; striving for greater rewards; and seeing an ocean of opportunities before you. In aggregate, these yield BIG rewards in life. Provide a potpourri of related topics, including unlooked-for opportunities; leadership and bringing out the best in those around you; avoiding overcautiousness; volunteering (raising your hand); reframing future commitments; the power (and magic) of an unexpected thank you note; and the disproportionate dividends and good karma that result from giving back and mentoring others.

Book excerpt: We need a parenting revolution! Most parenting approaches end up encouraging children to ask the wrong questions about life: What’s in it for me? Are you going to pay me for that? What’s the minimum I need to do to get by? But God’s Word gives us a better way to parent, one that builds strong internal motivation in children. When parents change the way they parent, kids change the way they live. This practical book explores a theology of internal motivation and then gives parents real-life solutions to equip their kids for life. You’ll learn . . . • how to parent in ways that build internal motivation so that kids don’t have to rely on you to get things done. • the four promptings of the conscience and how to coordinate your parenting to take advantage of them. • ways to energize your spiritual training with fun and creativity. • how to help children respond to mistakes instead of blaming, defending, or justifying. The greatest gift you can give your child is strong moral and spiritual development—this book shows you how. Every chapter includes practical examples of families applying the Bible to their current issues. Join the revolution!

When moments pass in our lives and we realize that our lives mismatch the life we imagined in our past, its better we change our current choices, decisions, and dreams so that we can enjoy better life in future because everything you are doing now reflects your life in the future. We reap what we sow. Successful life is never a mere hoping and wishing, but it’s about active doing, active determination, and active becoming by sowing meaningful big dreams and investments today to get meaningful life tomorrow. Becoming successful is not limited to age, location or education. It is only limited to ‘I won’t’. Success depends on principles and positive use of your brain. The human brain including yours are the storehouse of all the magic we need to heal all the wounds of unsuccessful lives in our world. Just change your altitude and take first step to begin something now and you will enjoy success as J. K. Rowling said “We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the powers we need inside ourselves already”. It’s never too late, too young or too old to begin planning your future from now and get started all over by dreaming newer goals and possibilities today for a better future. Officer Ackah, using practical examples, prompts readers that the great technological and infrastructural advancements and positions in the United States and elsewhere did not magically fall from the sky, but they were created by the positive application of the minds of ordinary people like you. This book helps you to change your altitudes, thinking and get started to create unimaginable successes, advancements and positions in our world to place you on top, and you will become the topic of remembrance. Officer Ackah, speaking from personal experiences of victory and success from both the civilian and military points, has provided the positive, passionate, practical and possible principles to arouse your appetite for creating unbelievable successes to change your life exceptionally and to effect inimitably the transformation of our world. Gaddiel R Ackah is encouraging readers in finding freedom in their lives to overcome the three mistakes that block successful living; fear to identify one’s purposes in life, ignorant of how powerful their brain can work to change things and the misunderstanding of creating desirable successes. He prompts that you are not living to tiptoe and die but to achieve your dreams by your positive and courageous daily choices and investments. When life is not okay, but you are struggling in life, this book is for you to reexamine and change your goal, job title, and social status. 2 2

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key element that sets the incredibly effective leader apart from everyone else is their commitment to never settle for less than the very best. This internal drive is what fuels the grind and what allows for the seemingly impossible to be done. This drive indicates one thing. It is a daily symbol of the leader’s firm recognition that they are unfinished. It is the personification of never being satisfied. It is the commitment to drain every last ounce of talent from our bodies while we have an opportunity to serve. In The Unfinished Leader: A School Leadership Framework for Growth and Development, PJ, Nick, and Mike leverage decades of school and school system leadership and national and international leadership development and share the what, the how, and the why on the leader's journey. This book highlights the key characteristics of an effective leader: humble, vulnerable, courageous, open-minded, and inclusive and shows how these characteristics mixed with the mindset that personal development is never finished is necessary to achieve the lofty goals required to best support our kids and our communities. This book asserts that leadership is not an event to be conquered and checked off of a list. Leadership is a journey, and the zenith of our individual journeys is never quite attainable as the very best among us continue to drive forward tirelessly to become better versions of themselves. This book is a guidepost to help leaders understand they are works in progress and to help create a vision for their individual futures.
