Principle

Achievement

Incremental achievements can help anyone climb out of adversity and into a life of meaning, relevance, and dignity. We start by defining success, then lay out the plan with incremental steps. As we reach milestones, we grow our self-confidence. This strategy helped me grow stronger while serving 26 years in prison. Celebrate little achievements.

overview

By celebrating incremental achievements, we build energy and strength to keep pushing forward. Each little achievement puts us on the pathway to new opportunities. In the stories of Socrates, Frederick Douglass, Nelson Mandela, and others, I learned how little steps lead to bigger opportunities. What steps can you take today?

Unlock Potential

Whether you’re in crisis or pursuing growth, learning is a path to uncover hidden opportunities. Investing in your personal development will help you unlock your potential. By pursuing little goals that align with the way you define success, you grow stronger every day. Joy and strength comes through the pursuit of excellence. Start building today.

Share Progress

Making measurable progress builds credibility and value. Regardless of external influences, we can put ourselves on a pathway toward more opportunities. By recognizing that we can empower ourselves with introspection, or critical thinking, we're making progress. Build support by sharing the incremental steps you're taking to grow stronger.

Build Support

Over time, building trust through consistent action inspired others to support my goals. It convinced me that anyone can build the right network. By doing so, we accelerate progress. Make it easier for others to believe in you by memorializing the tiny steps you've been taking over a sustained length of time. Little achievements prove authenticity.

Lifelong Learning

The pursuit of success is a journey, and we have to work toward creating more every day. Our commitment to personal development is the stepping-stone that leads us to higher levels of success. Master critical thinking, math, and communication skills and reach higher milestones. Those consistent efforts create endless opportunities.

Action

Each contribution, no matter how small, moves the needle toward change. Advocating for prison reform, earning degrees, and publishing books were my ways of contributing from within. By measuring progress toward defined goals, contribution becomes a tool not just for success, but also for transformation. What is your path?

Strengthen Relationships

People believe in you when they view you as being reliable. My earliest supporters came into my life because they saw the incremental achievements I made. With every achievement, I strengthened those ties. I continue using this strategy today, and encourage others to celebrate incremental achievements that align with how you define success.
