Our Focus this Month is on Success, you have written a number of books on Success Principles, how will you define success?
Success is the progressive accomplishment of a God-given goal.
Some people think success is not meant for them, what do you think sir?
What a man will become starts from his inside. For someone to fall for the lie of the devil that success is not meant for him is to be grounded in life. God has not created anyone to be nobody. Everyone He created is meant to be somebody. To be successful in life, you must believe you can.

Some have tried many times without hitting it, what is your piece of advice?
Big shots today were small shots yesterday who kept shooting. Persistence is one of the greatest secrets of success. Trying times are not the times to stop trying, but to keep trying. If you don’t give up, you will ultimately succeed. The secret of success is to keep at it.
What is the difference between success and failure?
Success has to do with the pursuit and accomplishment while failure has to do with quitting. Everyone God created has the capacity to succeed. A man is a failure when he quits trying. And you know what? Failure is a compulsory course in the School of Success. If you are not failing, you are not growing. Failure is the last step to success. Failure is meant to be a temporary event. It is only quitters that ultimately fail.
