Dr. John A. King studied successful people across disciplines to find repeatable traits anyone can learn. He redefined success as fulfilling relationships, a satisfying career, and financial security, then built a framework in his book to help readers apply these traits to their own lives.
So why Think Big: No Secret to Success as volume 1? Well, probably because I had to redefine normal. You know, I'd look around my life with what I was dealing with on a daily basis and say, I need to be normal. But what was normal? You know, I was dealing with things that other people didn't deal with. I was having to cope with things they don't cope with. I was confronted with things they weren't confronted with, and I had to say, okay, well then what is normal for me? But I wanted to be my version of normal, but I wanted to be successful. I wanted to have engaging relationships. I wanted to have a career and a job I was satisfied with. I wanted to be able to make money, money for my family and for my dreams and all those sorts of things. But Now I was having to deal with it within this new bubble of trying to process all this stuff on a daily basis. So I started with, okay, definition of normal for me, then redefining success for me. And I started on a journey of reading everything I could read, talking to everyone I could talk to. And I found these commonalities between successful people. Multidisciplined successful people. And as I started to read, I started to take note and go, well, well, I can do that. Well, I can do that. Well, I can do that knowing that I'm dealing with what I'm dealing with. But I came up with these lists, these traits, these attributes, and they were all duplicatable. They're all applicable. And I believe they're all teachable. So No Secret to Success is a distillation of those things. And I believe it's the starting point for the next series of things. That as you start to distill this, understand it, and apply it going forward, it'll be such a great foundation for you that you will be able to build on it and see an improvement in the quality of your life and, and also start to reach those goals that maybe you've found difficult to reach before.
