CHAPTER 1 THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS You deserve to be passionately engaged in the life and work of your dreams, and to be successful in everything you do.

This book presents the universal SuperLaws and Power Principles that make success inevitable, so that you can consciously choose to succeed in your profession, your relationships, your finances, your spirituality, and whatever else you undertake. When your personal passion collides with this scientific program for success, your dreams become real--every time.

The subject of success has fascinated people for centuries, perhaps forever. But unfortunately, most people don't feel completely successful in their lives, and only a few actually achieve the success of which they are capable. Research and my own personal experience have shown me that when people consistently do not succeed, it's not because they aren't smart, or because they don't work hard, or because they aren't lucky. It's because they simply don't understand how success works. They don't understand the specific SuperLaws and Power Principles that activate success. WHAT THIS BOOK GIVES YOU

I have spent my entire adult life exploring why some people succeed, when others do not. I've been captivated by Mahatma Gandhi's unbending commitment, by Martin Luther King's vision and passion, by Albert Einstein's sense of science and spirit, and by Napoleon Hill's willingness to give the secrets of building wealth to anyone who would read Think and Grow Rich.

I've studied these people and hundreds of others who were extraordinarily successful in personal, professional, financial, and spiritual arenas. I have studied the great literature and thinking on the subject, and seen how these people applied the SuperLaws and Power Principles to succeed when other brilliant, committed, or passionate people did not. From these studies and my own experience, I have synthesized the formula that causes people to succeed.

No matter where you are today, this book is designed to take you to the next level of achievement and fulfillment. Success is your birthright. With the information in this book, it is yours for the taking. You will "crack the code" for success, and learn to create exactly the future you want in a systematic and exciting way.

The Science of Success will help you discover the awesome power within you, and show you how to unleash a potential for success that is greater than your wildest dreams. Not only can you achieve whatever level of success you want, but I guarantee that you will do so if you understand and apply the universal SuperLaws and Power Principles. WHAT IS THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS?

Some people think that success happens through luck, or education, or hard work. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Luck can help, and education and hard work certainly help--but these factors play a relatively small role in success. You probably know people who have worked very hard, or who are well educated or just plain lucky, but who are not very successful.

Success never comes by chance, education, or hard work alone. Success is a science. We live in an orderly system that operates according to distinct, specific, and predictable laws. Everything in our universe is organized and governed by theses laws, from the smallest vibration of energy, to the ocean tides, to the entire cosmos, to your personal success. If you align yourself with these laws, you succeed inevitably, every time.

"Science," according to New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary, is "knowledge acquired by careful observation, by deduction of the laws which govern changes and conditions, and by testing these deductions by experiment."

That is exactly what I've done. I've observed successful people and what they do. I've deduced the seven SuperLaws that govern their behavior and their success. I've tested those SuperLaws and the Power Principles that unlock them in my own life. I've proven that they work for the thousands of people and organizations I've coached in personal and organizational development.

We will discuss each of the seven SuperLaws in the next chapter. The seven Power Principles are the subjects of the next seven chapters. They are:

* The Power of Understanding

* The Power of Paradigms

* The Power of Vision

* The Power of Partnership

* The Power of Giving

* The Power of Gratitude

* The Power of Accountability

These are not my principles or my laws. All I've done is put them together in a way that you can easily understand them, see how they relate to one another and to you, and use them in your daily life.

Whenever you have succeeded in any area of life, from childhood to the present moment, it's because you have lived and acted in accordance with these powerful laws. When you have not succeeded, you have not been living and acting in alignment with the laws. It's extraordinarily simple. If you want to make more money, have better relationships, be healthier, or meet your goals, you must understand these laws.

In addition to being universal, these laws are holistic. If you know how to use them in one area of your life, you can use them to succeed in every area. You won't be like the person who is financially successful, but not very healthy or happy. Or the person who has great relationships, but can't pay his rent. Or the person who makes a lot of money, but then loses it. Mastering the laws makes you successful in all areas, and enables you to repeat your success time after time.

The universal laws operate all the time--whether or not you know about them, and whether or not they seem fair. It may not be fair that a youngster falls down when he is learning to walk, but the law of gravity is at work day and night, whether the youngster is sleeping or trying to take his first steps, and whether or not he even understands gravity. It's the same with the SuperLaws. They operate in your life whether or not you know about them or use them consciously, so you might as well take hold of them and put them to work for you, steering your career, relationships, health, spirituality, and finances the way you want them to go.
