The Secrets of Success in Graphic Form

March 14th, 2008
by James Kurtz III

Richard St John’s presentation from from TED is quite inspiring. Can success really be that simple?

The video inpired me to design a graphic that represents not only the various aspects of success but also offers my insight into how the elements that make up success lead to each other. Click the graphic below to see it enlarged.

In my experience I’ve found his words to be true. How about you? Are there other important attributes to becoming successful?

    Khmerologist KHMER,
    Please feel free to use the graphic on your website. Glad you like it so much. I’ve actually made it my desktop wallpaper (along with some other inspirational quotes) and I find it helps me to stay focused as I work.

    James,
    Just surfed in while looking for some ’success’ images.
    Please can I show your ’success’ image on my blog?
    I will of course link back to your site.
    Best wishes,
    Richard

    You may certainly use this graphic. If you don’t mind, just give me attribution when you use it. Thanks!

  • 23 Andrew Hand Aug 11, 2010 at 5:37 pm

    I’m getting ready to teach a class called Skills for Success for aspiring high school students. I was wondering if you would allow me to talk about your success wheel and post it on my class webpage.

  • 24 James Kurtz III Aug 12, 2010 at 6:18 am

    Andrew,

    Absolutely. You should also be sure to credit Richard St. John, as the wheel is based on his research and theories.
