“When the impossibility has been eliminated,
whatever remains… is possible” –
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Once upon a time… a defeated man was ever so slowly walking past an old pawn shop. His gaze then shifted to an old gun for sale – he thought seriously that this could be the answer to all his problems… to kill himself. Instead, he continues to walk into a library and begins to read books on success and motivation.[1]
Where did he end up?
Without doubt, during his era he became “the most widely read inspirational and self-help author in the world.” [2] His name was Og Mandino.
Once upon a time… another defeated man was temporarily homeless. He was a struggling actor and felt as though he had almost no options left… He had accepted rejection after rejection after rejection at auditions. He then continued to write 9 screenplays but did not sell a single one.
He became a hermit; disconnected his phone, and did not meet anyone – and continued to write. He then moved to LA where his car blew up, yet still he continued to write. He had less than 0 to his name. He felt as though his situation was the worst it could be.
Then he watched the Ali vs. Wepner fight – which he said the public called a ‘joke’ – that Wepner would hardly go three rounds
– yet, he went 15 rounds with the world heavyweight champion – of which very few fighters can claim. He then wrote the entire script for a movie within 3 and a half days.

Where did he end up? The script was for a movie called Rocky which won 3 Academy Awards & launched Sylvester Stallone’s multi-million-dollar movie career and the rest is history…[3]
Once upon a time… Another surely defeated man was a withering figure of skin and bones – having survived a plane crash in the Andes mountains, seeing his mother dead and his sister die and 72 days with almost no food or water in a climate where temperatures could and did easily reach 35 degrees below zero. He stood before a mountain – a mountain considered as one of the biggest mountains in the Andes.
Where did he end up? He became a successful racecar driver, married the woman of his dreams, became very successful in business and has delivered countless motivational speeches to help many thousands of people throughout the world.[4]
Once upon a time… a young African American grew up in the ghetto’s of Chicago whereby the statistics say he’d either be in jail or dead. In fact he said, “It was a good month if nobody you knew got killed. Those months were few and far between”. He became a millionaire by the age of 14![5]
Once upon a time a defeated man, had just witnessed over three hundred thousand of his troops retreat to English shores… Nazi Germany defeating almost the entire of Europe. His response…
“… I feared it would be my hard lot to announce the greatest military disaster in
our long history… But another blow which might well have proved final was yet to fall upon us… Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender” – Sir Winston Churchill[6]

YOU ARE NEVER DEFEATED!
No matter what your situation… no
matter who you are… no matter where you are – you have the ability to use all of your potential and become the best you can be.
A wise person once revealed the secret to success as follows…
“There’s no secret about success.
Did you ever know a successful person
who didn’t tell you about it?”
– Kin Hubbard
Or as the success literature points out –
there is a ‘science’ to success.
And so this is what we shall now uncover.
We shall now embark on a quest for the Holy Grail secret of success by finding the common denominator
of all who are successful.
