What does success mean to you? What does it look like? And, most important, how can you go about attaining it? This may seem like a broad and somewhat ineffable subject, but we can agree, we would all like successful lives in its many facets, and we want to utilize our capacities and creativity to realize what’s important to us, so we all get what we want out of life. The good news is, as Tony Robbins says, “Success leaves clues!”

“Where Is Your Why? is an indispensable publication for anyone earnestly striving to achieve sustainable and purposeful success.” —Michon Ellis, Livewire Communications

D.A. Abrams calls his answer to these questions the Formula for Success. He identifies his Foundation, the six core areas most important to him, to ensure he serves and succeeds in these aspects of life. He helps you state what you value. Then, he commits to a set of Personal Values that guide and inspire him in his choices and actions. He gives you his list of 40 Precepts, actionable concepts to apply to your professional and personal life. And then he guides you through devising a Personal Plan of Attack that figures out your why and helps you to reach your goals, measure your accomplishments, and pivot to continue your growth as an employee or boss, parent or child, partner, family, and community member.

The Foundation + Personal Values + Precepts + Personal Plan of Attack = SUCCESS
