Fix Your Cracks: Success Stems From Solid Foundations
The secret to success is that there is no secret. Success is not a magical event born out of luck or circumstance. Nor is it reserved solely for the most driven or intellectual of people. Rather, consistent success can be thought of as more of a science, with a fundamental set of skills and habits that, when applied persistently, nurtures an environment in which success can grow naturally. I term these skills the Foundations of Success.
You can't build a great building on weak foundations. Similarly, you can't build a successful future on weak habits. To build a bigger and better future, as we would a skyscraper or a bridge, we must first seek to strengthen these fundamental competencies upon which success can grow. We do this by addressing the largest "cracks" in our foundation, those which restrict our growth the most. With each crack fixed, our foundations strengthen and opportunities can be better seized.
This book outlines the most common "cracks" in a person's foundation, focusing predominantly on self-improvement, productivity, social skills, health, and finance; areas in which all five are essential to create a rock-solid foundation. Results are determined not by reading but by actions. That is why this book takes a different approach to most by focusing on practical advice. This book contains links to free downloads to provide you with practical tools derived from my extensive career in construction management to cement these habits into your daily routines. This book is not a read it and forget it type book. Instead it is more of an instruction manual with tools provided to ensure you open yourself to a successful future.
Failure most often occurs because we are unprepared to endure what is required to achieve great feats. So before you start building the world's tallest tower, take the time to first fix your cracks and ensure your foundation is solid enough to support your goals. Failure is almost guaranteed otherwise.
