YOUR ROAD MAP FOR SUCCESS
BY
JOHN C. MAXWELL

CHAPTER 1

THE JOURNEY IS MORE FUN IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING

If you don’t know what success is, how will you ever achieve it?
Success is a journey.

Why will people go with you?
1. WE GAVE THEM A PICTURE OF WHERE THEY WERE GOING
2. WE ANSWERED THEIR QUESTIONS
3. THEY HAD EXPERIENCED PERSONAL SUCCESS IN THEIR LIVES
4. THEY WERE NO LONGER THE SAME AND WANTED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE

SIGNIFICANCE

THE RIGHT PICTURE OF SUCCESS

The right picture
The right principles

Success is…
Knowing your purpose in life,

Growing to reach your maximum potential, and
Sowing seeds that benefit others.

“You will never exhaust your capacity to grow towards your potential or
run out of opportunities to help others.” - #johnCmaxwell

KNOWING YOUR PURPOSE

God created every person for a purpose.

What am I searching for?

Why was I created?

Do I believe in my potential?

You cannot consistently act in a manner inconsistent with the way you see
yourself.

“If you don’t believe you will not achieve.” - #WWJG

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” -
#TheodoreRoosevelt

“The Answer to the question “WHEN DO I START?” is NOW.” -

GROWING TO YOUR POTENTIAL

We can do anything.

But we cant to everything.

Don’t become a jack of all trades master of none.

Become a jack of a few trades but focused on one.

4 principles to get on the right road to success

1. CONCENTRATE ON ONE MAIN GOAL
2. CONCENTRATE ON CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT
Never let a day go by that you don’t improve in some way.
3. FORGET THE PAST
4. FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

SOWING SEEDS THAT BENEFIT OTHERS
