I wrote an explosive book titled Dare Be a Success: Develop a Success Mentality and Succeed. That book was written pretty years ago, around 2012, after my book on 57 Winning Habits for Excellence in the 21st Century. In that book, I challenged readers to dare. The English word dare means do all you can…do all that is doable in your powers…challenge yourself.
Most times in life, we do the little we can and leave the rest for, in your mind, “God” or ”satan” or “children” or “wards,” and the persons you left it to know you’ve not tried your utmost, so say the least. The person knows you have not dared; you have not challenged them; talk less of the powers and systems stopping you. Perhaps, if you had really dared, you would have broken the jinx, the harbinger, the backbone, and the elastic limit. Sometimes, we quickly give up and put it in nobody’s KIV [Keep In View]. Bing Online Dictionary defines dare as to be brave enough to do something difficult or dangerous…to do something that involves risk.
‘Be a” is an active word, an instruction/advice, and can be a command.
The word success is one of the most grossly assumed words to mean getting what one wants. Too many presume comprehending [understanding] success. They have different pictures of success, or what a successful fellow is… And at each count of this example, we discover the presumption, assumption, implication, picture, and definition of success, or examples of success, elude the very original meaning and intention of success. The original intent is exactly the word “purpose. So, what is success? Or what purpose does success have?
This is what this book explains. What are demonstrative pictures of success like? Again, this book explains. But let’s share a few erroneous pictures people present as examples of success. One is getting whatever you want at all costs. Error. Two is achieving a feat. Three is an accomplishment. All accomplishment is achievement, and they are ACTS, what happens at an event. Success, even failure, is not an event or an act. Accomplishments can be expertise. For instance, I’m an accomplished leadership educator, which didn’t make me a success yet in leadership, only an expert. There is something about success you will learn if you read this book, “Dare be a Success”.
Success can be linked to different aspect of life , and there can be all-round success. I’ve seen many career successes that are health failures. Many business successes have failure in the family.
Success is not a jackpot, try-your-luck, mystical, miraculous, or being lucky, productivity, connection, leverage, recognition, opportunity, or event, but any of these can facilitate success, yet success is not any.
Can I shock you? Too many misconceptualize success to mean something like the
- The wealth of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates, etc.
- The physical punch of boxers, e.g. Mike Tyson in his days, Mohammed Ali, etc.
- The athletic body of Air Jordan
- The musical prowess of Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Whitney Houston, and R. Kelly,
- Etc.
Hmmm, someone will say, “If so, what is success?”
Good question. That’s why you need copies or at least a copy of Dare Be A Success: Develop Success Mentality and Succeed. In this book, this maverick writer ;
Expounded the concepts of success
Elucidated 12 reasons you must not fail

Elucidated 28 reasons people fail wherever
Elaborated 28 failure questions people ask.
This quintessential writer didn’t mince words in giving readers the forces of success and why successful people rule their world. He also educated us on the principles that govern success. The fundamental law of success. Perhaps the #1 law in the school of success everywhere in every area is self-discipline. The second law is learning, and not just learning, but learning from the expert. Don’t waste your time learning from all sources; seek experts around you and learn from them. The 3rd is the law of responsibility. No successful person has been irresponsible in their assignment. The 4th is the law of sacrifice. Let me stop here. Read the rest.
Do you know that success is a universal currency and desire? Every man in every race yearns for success in one form or the other. Success begins with your WILL to suck. But before that, you must be conscious of your desire to succeed. You must be alert and awake to it. Now, release your will. Are you willing? Dare be a success. Don’t leave the 21st century unsuccessfully, Dare, Dare, Dare be a Success.
