When you see a successful person, someone who has achieved the things you want to achieve in life, what do you think? Do you resent the person, and think ‘Who does she think she is? What questions do you ask yourself? How did that person achieve that career, beautiful home, great new car, happy marriage and family? What were the steps he or she took in order to achieve it? What do you do in order to get this information? Do you ask the person? Do you think to yourself, that person got a lucky break, he or she obviously has connections, ‘I could never do that’. Well, you are right. If you have that attitude, you will never achieve outstanding success in your career or in your personal life. Successful people are often happy to share with others how they got there. They enjoy helping others to achieve their goals, and if you learn from them and follow their example, you too can achieve your goals. I have asked people of African heritage who are successful in their fields how they have achieved their success. I asked them what problems and difficulties they have faced, and how they overcame them. Several of them have said that, had it not been for the particular circumstances in their lives, they would have ended up as ‘bad boys’, in trouble with the police, or in the prison system. Or dead. Successful Black people know how fortunate they are. Each one of them has expressed his or her own creativity, individuality, and unique vision. And each one of them has focused, not just on his or her own individual needs, but upon the needs of the collective. Because they are aware of how fortunate they have been, and perhaps out of gratitude to those who went before them, they have chosen to give of their time and talents to those who need them. These people have gone on to become role models themselves, helping, supporting and inspiring those who have come after them. Now, they have chosen to share the secrets of their success with you.
