Conclusion

Two of the most important God-sent people who gave me life: my mother, Mrs. Florine Johnson-Henry, and my father, Thomas Earl Rainey. They are excellent parents, and I love them dearly. They instilled in me great values and the unfailing trust in God that allowed me to become the man that I am today.

A very special dedication to my gifts from God—my children, Timothy James, Thomas Earl, Tiffany Rochell, and Trent DeShawn. They bring joy, inspiration, pride, and wealth. When they were born, they gave me a sense of completeness. Thanks, guys, for teaching me about what it means to have unconditional love. Each of you taught me a great deal about how to be a loving and great father.

This book is also dedicated to all people who struggle to accomplish their goals, but refuse to give up. To those who look for ways to better their lives, who have searched and tried new things, and are still searching for answers. To those who refuse to give up, keep fighting until you achieve your end goal.

If you are reading this book, I assume you have accomplished some goals; know the value of setting and achieving goals; and are still pursuing your destiny for greatness. You have the right to achieve everything your heart desires and will continue to accomplish greater goals for yourself and for the loved ones in your life. You are all winners!

Foreword

Most coaches are passionate, loyal, dedicated, driven winners and role models. These words fully hold true in describing the kind of educator, speaker, mentor, and coach that James has been to thousands of students, student athletes, and former student athletes nationwide. In this book, he has unselfishly shared goal-setting techniques for truly living a greater life.

His ability to share this wisdom comes from years of building his own life and career on a strong foundation of integrity and applying proven goal-setting steps to his commitment to improving lives throughout the world. As a former athlete, he fully understands the hard work and determination it takes to achieve goals in life.

He has absolutely no doubt that this book will fundamentally improve your level of success and make you a winner throughout your life. You will be the winner you set out to be when you begin to set goals and accomplish them. You will obtain your utmost goals and live the life you set for yourself and your family, just as he did.
