INTRODUCTION
This book was written to aid women in developing and strengthening successful
thoughts that support support success in 360 degrees of their lives. Women un-
derstand that success is how we experience the world, our relationships, our fami-
lies, our passions. Success is evident in the fullness of our lives; our health, as well
as our wealth; it shows in the strength of our relationships, as well as, the strength
of our portfolios. Women care about the quality of life, as much as they care about
the quantity of assets they own. Women long for balance, peace, joy and accom-
plishments that define their creativity and competence.
But as women, if we long for success, where do we begin? How do we get where we
want to go?
Think about one idea at a time. Contemplate it, and then develop it, until it be-
comes a habit. Habits require consistency, so once you get through the first 60
days, begin reading the thoughts again. Once you have gone through this 60 day
process three times, you should begin to feel that the thoughts are beginning to
deeply effect your life. In just six months, you will discover that you will have devel-
oped 50 NEW ways of thinking about your daily life. These sixty thoughts will
take you anywhere you want to go in life.
Share these thoughts with those you love. The thoughts and ideas espoused in this
book are universal truths that have worked for thousands of people who have cho-
sen to use them and dedicate themselves to them.
Some skills and ideas require more effort than others. Some might take more time
for you to accept and assimilate. The key is focus, consistency and faithfulness.
Each day commit to reading and carefully considering a new thought. Your new
thoughts will develop into new habits, and you will be amazed at who you have be-
come in six short months from now.
The world needs you. It needs your talents, your dreams, your gifts and your efforts
to become the kind of world we want to leave our children and our grand-children.
It is up to you, and me, and all the women in the world. Let’s teach our daughters to
be extraordinary and get what they want -- success in all areas of their lives.

IN CONCLUSION
These 60 values, thoughts and ideas are the basis of all success. If you carefully
consider them, evaluate them in your life and make new commitments toward living
them, your success is guaranteed by your dedication to the truths of these con-
cepts.
Women are the heart of the world. We need to take a stand and become the full-
ness of what it is in our hearts we long to be. We should not be defined by the social
forces that are the current fashion, we should be defined by the dreams in our
hearts, the wisdom in our souls. When we work to get what we want, and in getting
what we want, we help others rise to their highest levels of accomplishment and
greatness as well, we can heal the wounds in the world. We know that true strength
comes from our ability to love, nurture, inspire and encourage one another.
