About Us

At Reading For Your Success we are passionate about reading. And we love sharing what we read and learn with others. If this site inspires and creates just one additional reader then it has been successful.

Now that I think of it, I guess I should probably say “I” instead of “us” because this is my site containing my thoughts.  Let me first start by thanking you for visiting.  I hope you are here with your mind set on success because that is why I have created it.  My name is Scott and I am fascinated with success.  I am fascinated with the drive, motivation and vision that are required to be successful and I am especially fascinated with successful people.  There are few things more inspiring to witness than someone in their most successful and powerful state.  I try to associate myself with as many successful people as possible.  Someone once said that you should always surround yourself with people smarter than you are.  Well I believe the same is true for successful people.  I have tried to do that as best I can throughout my life.  I got off to a great start with my  parents and have done my best to continue on that track with professors, coworkers, friends and the like.

The way I see it, you can never get enough exposure to smart and successful people.  What makes this tough is that you only know so many people with whom to associate.  And you can only build your network so fast.  I decided that the next best thing to putting me in an environment full of successful people is to read, listen and understand their work.

Reading is such a powerful resource and tool that every one of us has at our finger tips,yet sadly, few of us take full advantage. I want to change that.  Reading gives us the chance for unlimited learning.  I love to read, and I especially love to read things that I feel are expanding my knowledge base and are teaching me things that I can directly apply to my life.  I have been doing all of this reading and collecting of data and I realized that I have so much valuable information that I hardly share with anybody aside from those close to me.  The great thing is that you have the power to learn and understand as much or as little as you want.  That is what gave me the idea for ReadingForYourSuccess.com.

The purpose of this site is simply to share all of the wonderful literary sources for success that I have come across over the years.  I have provided book reviews and guidance on what I think are the most valuable books for success that I have discovered.  One day I too hope to be able to use all of these sources in combination with my experiences to put my story of success into writing for others.

Reading For Your Success does not directly sell anything.  I do receive a small commission from Amazon for each book sold through my site so that I can cover the cost of maintaining and hosting it.  Aside from that, this site is here purely for you.  I just want all of you to be guided in a positive direction that will lead you to be more and more successful with each passing day.  By success, I do not just mean financial or economic as most people tend to associate with the word.  I mean success in every part of your life, be it in your relationships, motivation, drive, business acumen, financial and investment savvy and of course your happiness (Thoughts on Success gives plenty more detail).  I am a firm believer that the lack of clearly defined success is quite often what keeps one’s dreams and happiness just out of reach of their reality.  It is very important that we all describe what success means for us as individuals.  Ralph Waldo Emerson gets us off to a nice start.

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation
of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to
appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the
world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has
breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
