Steve Harvey's Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success Book Review
I must start off with a disclaimer...I am a Steve Harvey fan!! Steve Harvey IS the model man for all men on the road to success in all aspects of their lives. Some would disagree with me, however, this is my opinion. He has succeeded in business, marriage, and family life. His trials and tribulations are a testimony and example for all men to follow. I appreciate and welcome his advice on dating and relationships. As a woman, who did not grow up with my father active in my life, to explain how men think, how to set standards in dating, expectations of dating and the woman's role according to men; Steve Harvey has provide me with a wealth of knowledge in the area of dating and dealing with men.
OK, now lets get to the meat of this blog. Steve Harvey's Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success...I have read many self-help books on how to achieve success. This one is the BEST yet!!!!
Number 1- Steve Harvey writes this book in a simplistic way. It's an easy read. No complicated terms to understand or jargon. He writes as if he is talking to you personally!!! I believe many authors of self-help books fail in this aspect. I believe some authors are so focused on giving direction or instructions, they forget to "talk to you". Steve Harvey TALKS TO YOU! You can almost hear his voice as you read. Amazing!!!
Number 2 - I believe Steve Harvey wrote this book to meet people where they are currently in their lives. As an individual progresses, they can go back, pick up his book and proceed to their next level. Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success is written as a workbook, to write your thoughts and ideas to assist you in moving forward. Of course, you have the option of using a journal to write in versus writing in the book. I would suggest writing in a journal. This will allow you the opportunity to return to the book for higher elevation and returning to previous writing to evaluate your personal growth.
Number 3 - Steve Harvey provides you with his REAL LIFE experiences. His experiences shared throughout the book are relatable. I can't tell you how many books I have read, where the experiences were not relatable. I could not put myself in the other person's shoes. Not only does he put you in his shoes, he walks you through the experience. What better way to connect to a reader?! He allows you to see his failures, frustrations and reinventions throughout his life.
Number 4 - Practicality!! Do I really need to say anymore? Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success is a practical guide to achieving your goals in all areas of your life. Not just business. It is applicable in everything you do. Especially, Chapter 12 Tale of the Tape. The tool he provides on evaluating your strengths and weaknesses is absolutely PRICELESS!!! Others may have advised on this evaluation, however, this tool is simple, easy to use, and again applicable to every part of your life. I can not express enough how valuable this tool is to your life. USE IT!!! I know I will!
Finally, Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success should be in the home of every person who is striving to better their lives. No matter what level you are on, this book will help you prioritize, plan, strategize, and execute your future successes. I commend Steve Harvey for writing an excellent guide to assisting others on their road to success. A powerful way to give back!!!
Thank you Steve Harvey!!!

2015 is the Year of Movement
Here we are...the 4th day of the New Year. The deaths of 2 influential people have already occurred: Stuart Scott and Rev. Dr. Johnnie Colemon. Both icons in their own way, influencing individuals to become their best is some form or fashion. As I write this blog, the question that comes to mind is what does 2015 mean to you? I know what it means to me...it is the year, in which, everything I worked hard to start, plan, organize, analyze and synthesize in 2014 will manifest.
The thought of making a new year resolution was not one to consider anymore. All I know is that I want to grow and evolve in every area and aspect of my life: love, mental, physical, relationships, business, education, and spiritual. On this 4th day of January 2015, we have a full moon. I prepared myself to perform the full moon ritual of releasing and cleansing areas of my life, in which, I needed to work on, such as, forgiveness, resentment, releasing false beliefs about myself, and unwanted feelings I had toward specific individuals in my life. This ritual was simply writing on parchment paper what I wanted to release, saying it out loud followed by the words "I release, be gone", and then burning the piece of paper. I am excited to see how, when, what and where the Supreme Creators/The Universe remove these obstacles that were blocking me from my own success.
Remember that saying..."get out of your own way." Well, that is just what I did in performing this ritual. I have stepped out my own way to allow The Supreme Creators/The Universe to work for me and move me in the direction of opportunity. I open myself up to receive and allow all of the goodness and abundance of The Universe to be delivered to me in every aspect of my life.
I think were many people become misguided about success, is that there is a humbling that must take place, along with forgiveness and letting go of all past hurts and disappointments. No longer holding onto things that have no meaning to you in this present time. The continuances of holding on to past hurts, disappointments, and not forgiving cloud your judgment in taking opportunities that arise and present themselves to you. Freeing yourself of all past things that you hold on to mentally, physically, spiritually is freeing in itself.
We are here on this earth to fulfil a purpose of using our gifts and helping one another. The 10% of the elite understand and have mastered this. There is unity among them were they share information and teach one another to keep moving forward. We as people must become teachable, constantly seek knowledge, and seek the greater part of ourselves.

Happy New Year!!! 2015 the year of Evolving
For today is the last day of 2014. Many people are making new years resolutions to be forgotten or to fall by the wayside. Why make them? Why not just make a commitment to yourself to evolve to be the best person you can be in all areas of your life? Evolving is growing into the Best individual you can be. Make the commitment to yourself to grow. Make the commitment to become a better man or woman. Make the commitment to become a better parent or guardian. Make the commitment to become better at your financial responsibility. Make the commitment to become better spiritually. Make the commitment to become a better student. Make the commitment to become a better business person and grow your business. Make the commitment to become a better friend. Make the commitment to become a better communicator. Make a commitment to let go of the past. Make a commitment to embrace the future. Make a commitment to become fearless. Make a commitment to better health. Make a commitment to love, peace, and joy in your life.
In making your commitment to yourself for 2015, write it down and read it everyday as a reminder to what you are committed to becoming. This will place you on the path to success and you will see your dreams manifest as a result of your commitment to yourself and growth.
Have a Happy 2015!!!!
