"Welcome to ACC’s debut newsletter. I appreciate the help of my good friend, colleague, and editor, Sallie Boyles, in getting this off the ground.

Each monthly issue in 2006 will focus on one of ACC’s 10 building blocks towards guaranteed success:

1. Passion
2. Vision
3. Belief in Yourself
4. Self Inventory
5.Self-Discipline/Self-Managment
6. Powerful Communication
7. Distinguish Yourself (Branding)
8. Be the Expert
9. Plan Development
10. Value Your Time

Although more easily understood than implemented, each principle, once adopted, will move you toward triumph—no matter your definition of success. Additionally, success by any measure involves a state of mind and, therefore, is a matter of choice to be claimed moment by moment.

You can apply ACC’s 10-step formula to any area—finance, relationships, decision making, personal growth, etc. And, at the end of the day, if you incorporate these 10 principles, success will be yours for a lifetime—no doubt about it—no matter the “missteps” you have taken or "mistakes" you have made.

Be prepared for rocky ravines. Anticipate points of darkness along a meandering route. Though your path will not be linear, rest assured that the straightforward ACC formula, tested and proven, will take you to your success.

I invite you to walk this path with me. Begin by accepting that, no matter where you personally start out, by the year’s end, together we will intimately know and embrace our lives of success, which we carefully create with hope, optimism, laughter, and joy.

See you in February!
