Dedication

I dedicate this book to my one and only daughter, Alihay Keana Kenol, a.k.a. Princess K. I pray to God every single day that I did my part in nurturing you to be an amazing young woman. My advice to you is to always trust in God and yourself. Take complete responsibility for your own life. Learn from your mistakes, and take some time to enjoy life. I love you. I will always be there for you, even in spirit.

To my beloved family, thank you so much for all your support and for being there for me in your own individual ways. I thank you all for listening and agreeing to both the good and awful ideas I had shared. My Fanm Kolokent (Bertha), thank you for giving me the family that my real parents did not provide. Kiki, you are my backbone. I love you, sista. Tati, my niece/wifey, I love you.

To all my new friends, you are good to me, but to my old friends, you are even better. Many of you stuck with me through all my ups and downs (and you all know what I am talking about). I do ask God to continue blessing you all with your hearts' desires and all your life goals.

To the readers: I intended to add great value to your lives. I do hope that this book will provide you solutions and answers, or at least enough to be inspired with some information that can assist you on your journey to becoming very successful. The more prepared and equipped you are, the better the opportunity to increase your chance to be successful on your journey. Always go after what you want.

To the team: Shinei Gibbs, you are one of the best. My business partner, editors, publisher, publicist, management, and other team members, you are all true examples of teamwork. This would be less amazing without your contribution. Thank you all at Palmetto Publishing Group!

About the Author

Prologue

A

nything I will be sharing in this book will be solely based on my genuine story, real success, my ideas, and my own experiences. I am not claiming to be an expert or an advisor, and I am not trying to tell anyone what to do with his or her life. I just want to share essential information that worked for me and may also work for others. I also performed extensive research and gathered all this information over a lot of late-hour perusing while observing and exploring different people's ideas on how to obtain good fortune. This included attending a vast number of conferences and seminars about wealth building, reading many books on how to be successful, and doing informational investigations for some coursework. Most importantly, I gained wisdom from taking a lot of risks when I opened and closed businesses.

I knew this information I have learned, experienced, and have come across needs to be shared with others—especially if one is interested in progressing and moving up to a higher life status. I always told myself that when I am in the position with the power to help, inspire, and improve people's lives, I would do it in heartbeat. I used to think that life is a rite of passage. Added to this, I have learned now that life is not only a journey but also a continuous progression and development of goals. With that being said, let's experience life!

Selfishly is a term essentially concerned with one's own well-being, personal earnings, benefits, welfare, desire, personal gain, deservedness, and more!

Successful is the accomplishment of a goal, a vision, or purpose—all of which includes wealth building, respect, fame, position, honors, execution of talent, excellence in skills, and the list goes on.

Selfishly successful is all about self-founding, self-fulfillment, self-growth, self-talk, and self-fulfillment; achieving a heightened sense of self in general is the first priority to being able to care for oneself in a selfishly beneficial way, as well as for others outside ourselves.

Introduction

H

earing the word success triggers many things in our minds, only because there are a variety of ways one can be successful in life. As humans, we foolishly attempt to be masterful at almost every little thing. In reality, no one can be perfect at all things, regardless of what we have heard, seen, or experienced. A Jack-of-all-trades is an expert at none! Even in its simplicity, narrowed down to one or two things, success can still be very challenging.

There is also absolutely no magic formula to establishing success. In addition to this, while there are many well-beaten paths to achieving a fortunate life, it will be even better to follow a custom-tailored path to unearthing your own special achievements. Have you ever wondered about yourself, where you are, and how successful you want to be in life? I was always on the hunt to reveal how I can have an extraordinary life and was constantly working on turning my life around with a whole new perspective. In my search, I was lacking so much information and direction. Frequently, this is the key part of the problem.

You can agree that most people found their own eminence by following the well-formed path of those who already succeeded. So here I was. I was about to create my path, my own journey to finding my success with whatever help I could use. Of course, you can follow your own path, or you can copy someone else's path, but you must walk on a predetermined trail to achieve goals in life because any triumph will not voluntarily come to you.

While developing this project, the plan was to put everything in writing, practice the steps, evaluate the results, and share what I have found in the process. This book is written with the main intention to purposely create a successful life. The world is rapidly and sporadically changing. Many jobs are being lost or replaced by advanced technology as society progresses. Living in scarcity and between paychecks is the slender line between being comfortable and being broke.

You may already know about how this happens! For those who are still in denial, it is time for you to wake the fuck up and smell the coffee, honeybun. We need to take complete control of our lives and support ourselves without being dependent on anyone, including the government. We may not have the luck to be born rich, but we do have the choice to not die poor. The only things that it all depends on—if we truly want better lives—are how important being successful is to us and how hard we are willing to work for it.

No personal gain worth having comes easy. Ideas, time, patience, and effort are our best friends in the search for success. We must also be aware of our truth and the power within us to be prosperous in life. Again, I am sharing my stories to a fruitful life, and hopefully, I can become a role model to instill in you the ability to sense and grasp your own profitable results.

Meanwhile, I have some tips on how you can improve yourself and why you need to put yourself first (this is the part where selfishness is relevant) to increase your shot at being victorious! I also want to share those top-secret words to success that you can start saying, believing, and putting into your daily routine to help you take your life to that next grand level! You and I both deserve the sensational lives we were meant to have. There is absolutely no reason for any of us to be living any less than we fully deserve. We are living in a world of abundance. We are supposed to live in prosperity. To see where I am coming from, first read my personal story as the process carries on.

MOST OF US DREAM OF BEING SUCCESSFUL, BUT HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?

A majority of individuals may strive for money as a major form of success, believing it to be the most practical avenue to prosperity—but many of us see beyond this criterion. If you're reading this book, you have a clue. You probably now realize that neither having a higher level of education nor having a lot of power is the key to success. Fame, higher status, or wealth may seem like a form of accomplishment to many, yet it still does not exemplify true success. There will always be the question of what is the meaning of being a winner. What is it then? What is the magic secret that results in success? Is there a commandment, bylaw, or guideline to victoriously achieve this realization? Could it be what society says it is?

Success does have a subjectively unique quality to it. Its meaning is different for you, your parents, your friends, your coworkers, and to every single person you meet. One thing to note—if you are in search for your signature achievement in your life, the first step is to define exactly what success is for you, and most importantly, to be repulsed by the idea of quitting your goals. Success can be found in an infinite number of ways and needs to be discovered by every one of us, as all of us have a unique and special talent within us that can result in victory.

It is, however, all dependent on how badly you want it, how hard you are willing to work to achieve it, and how committed you are to fulfilling your full potential. We are all equipped to be successful. We were meant to be fortunate in most, if not all, areas of our lives, but we find that our lives are buried in an uneven level of abundance. You must not forget that it will take some form of dedicated effort on your part to hit gold unless you are extremely lucky. Yes, luck does play a role, whether one believes it or not. There is an exterior force that can be working in one's favor. It is occurring constantly, where individuals with luck are successful in many areas of their lives with little to no effort. They are blessed! For those who are not so fortunate, with some work, anything is possible with just faith and the willingness to achieve so much more.

MY SUCCESS

To me, success was found in pleasing myself by obtaining what I desired most through the fulfillment of the four most important areas of my life. Those areas are starting with me, my finances, my relationships, and my legacy without living up to anyone else's expectations. I answer to absolutely no one but myself. This is why I am here on earth; otherwise, what is the point? My personal success was found in the hunt of my goals alone. I previously was not aware; I was too blind and too engaged in the improper practice of reliving past failures while participating in the hunt of my unique success to see this before.
