3 Things Successful People Do: The Road Map That Will Change Your Life
The single most fulfilling, game-changing state of mind a person can adopt is the notion that success is in the journey itself.
There are simply too many variables out of our control to define our success on outcomes only. Life is not a winner-take-all championship game, but a an excruciatingly long season with multiple chances every day to learn from losses, grow from successes, and make the appropriate changes along the way.
In 3 Things Successful People Do, New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker John C. Maxwell provides insight into what it means to truly be on the journey to success. No matter where you are on your journey, this invaluable resource will help you discover your personal road map and equip you with what you will need to change course, if necessary, and keep growing.
After reading this book, you will learn:
- Skills we can buy or hire
- Attitudes we cultivate through mentoring and experience
- Values we instill in ourselves
When you surrender superficial notions of “arrival” and realize that the daily process is what makes your goals real, you haven’t just changed the game of success . . . you’ve become a success already.

“There has been a change in focus over the last forty years in the area of personal growth. Beginning in the late sixties and early seventies, people began talking about ‘finding themselves,’ meaning that they were searching for a way to become self-fulfilled. It’s like making happiness a goal because self-fulfillment is about feeling good.” (source)
