While there are about as many definitions of success as there are people looking to achieve it, the common denominator is that we are all seeking to fulfill our personal definition of being successful. The questions that remain are what is that definition and how do we reach it? How do we finally and ultimately achieve that success we are all searching for?

For years we have been told that to become successful, we must first work hard, lay a foundation, and push through the inevitable disappointments and struggles that show up along the way. While this way of thinking might be the norm, we more often than not find ourselves faltering and running low on patience, inspiration, and faith. This upset leads to disillusionment and, ultimately, to many of us simply giving up.

Terri-Ann Richards began to see this pattern emerge for herself and started to study why this occurs and, more important, how to resolve this situation once and for all. After taking a closer look at her own timeworn patterns, she noticed they often failed because an essential element was missing from the equation: joy.

With this revelation was born a unique yet solid revision to the age-old approach to attaining your aspirations. Success Takes Courage dares you to challenge societal norms and tackles the issue of how to become successful and fulfilled with logic, grace, and a direct roadmap proven to work. Sprinkled throughout this book are invitations for you, the listener, to shift perspectives and rethink how you can navigate your goal setting by providing more substantive, mindful, and thought-oriented alternatives, helping you reimagine your future with happiness as your guide.
