Richard St. John: Secrets of Success

I came across an extraordinary article and video this morning on TED while doing some research for my next eBook. I am sure you will enjoy it:

“Why do people succeed?

Is it because they’re smarter than the rest?

Are they just lucky?

Neither.

But what Do successful people know that others don’t.

Analyst Richard St. John condenses 10 years of over 500 interviews into an unmissable 3-minute slideshow on the real secrets of success.

“A self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved, Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success — and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and… 

Richard St. John knew how he had found success.  But he couldn’t get away from the question: Why him? He thinks of himself as an average guy, not talented at school, not terribly handsome or particularly lucky.

So he spent more than a decade interviewing 500 people he defines as successful — from architect Frank Gehry to non-celebrities successful in their own lives.

The resulting book, Spike’s Guide to Success: Stupid, Ugly, Unlucky and RICH, has spawned a new avenue of success for St. John as a motivational speaker and talk-show star. His newest book is 8 to Be Great: The 8 Traits that Lead to Great Success.”

This is another great set of resources to help you create the successful life you desire.
