Your Road Map for Success
by John C. Maxwell
Maxwell redefines success as knowing your purpose, growing to your potential and sowing seeds that benefit others, then walks the journey: where you want to go, how to get there, and the people you bring along. It is conventional, warm and clear, with his usual anecdotes and lists.
Read it if…
you want a gentle, values-first definition of success before setting goals.
Skip it if…
you want tactics; this is orientation.
Three things you will actually use
- Success is a journey, not a destination you arrive at.
- Purpose, growth and generosity are the three legs.
- Who travels with you matters as much as the route.
Do this first
Write your own one-sentence definition of success and test your current goals against it.
Our verdict
Orientation before goal-setting.
