Please give us a short summary of your website?
Success is not something you reach out for; it is something you draw out from within - as the gift of your creator to you. Success University's curriculum shows you how to unlock all your god-given potentials and attain all the rewards that you deserve in life.
Your future and the future of the world around you, depends largely on what you build in yourself today, and the legacy that you pass on to future generations.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
We are inspired to help raise the level of human potential around the globe and in so doing to give back to the needy through the "Feed a Child Program". Particularly inspiring is this quote from Nelson Mandela at his 90th birthday celebration: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
The website was launched in January 2005 as the pimary vehicle for achieving our goals of becoming both a global household name and business as quickly as possible. It was designed to provide quality, affordable online education any where, any time. The major deliverables are recognizable course certification and demonstrable business success through the Learn and Earn programme.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
The name echos the intent of the website ie to deliver quality succes education and training in the personal development space.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
Our website is unique in its offerings. Nowhere has there been so vast an assembly of successful, high-profiled authors, trainers and speakers in one resource.
Within our first year of operations, we recorded more internet hits than speakers such as Jim Rohn, Willie Joley, Denis Waitley, Jim Cathcart, Lisa Jimenez, Suzie Humphreys, Tony Alessandra and Nido Qubein were recording at the time. They are now presenting topics through our website.
It has been featured by Fox4 NEWS in interviews with CEO Matt Morris. It is featured in Forbes and Empower Magazines as well as endorsed by Suzie Orman and Donald Trump.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
Our eventual goal is to keep it as a vehicle for helping others achieve their goals and to provide ourselves with a sustainable future income and a legacy for future generations.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Time and money is spent promoting this website as our own business, learning from others and passing on skills. The returns are astounding in providing lifestyle changes and attaining financial, personal and family time freedoms. We are able to achieve more rewards from the more efficient use of our time and money.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
We believe that we have built an exceptional site with exceptional quality and value. Although there is always a move to exploit the latest changes in technology and resource frameworks, we have no need to change the website in any dramatic way to enhance its user-friendliness.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes. Our site is already very big. It is hosted in Dallas, Texas and has students registered from 178 countries. It is growing rapidly throughout the developing world and has no reported delivery issues. It completely exploits the potential of the internet. It was recently launched in Kenya where is attracted over 3000 unique visitors in one week. This was over and above its normal workload!
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Absolutely not.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Convincing myself that I had not died and gone to heaven! My initial leap of faith that this is the right business for me and my family has paid off handsomely in terms of our quality of life, choice of lifestyle and personal freedoms.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Undoubtedly, internet marketing has driven our success.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
We were very thorough in our research and design. It performs according to expectation and well beyond our wildest dreams.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
The site is three years old now. It is the basis of our global business and will endure into perpetuity.
Is this the answer to anyone's success and future prosperity?
Yes, indeed. It is vital to anyone's success to invest in their own success and personal growth. In the corporate environment, the knowledge gained will make the individual an achiever that is a joy to employ. As individuals in their own business, it will teach the perspectives, processes, tips and tricks of those that have exceeded the norm with teir own success and wealth creation. Finally, a quote to think about: "If you think Education is Expensive, You should try Ignorance!" Robert Kiyosaki, author of International bestselling book RICH DAD, POOR DAD.
