Nine Step Plan for success

Stedman Graham is an author, businessman, community leader, and the significant other of Oprah Winfrey. His philosophy of living includes following a specific program for success.

In his book, “Nine Step Plan for Success,” Graham provides the following blueprint to success:

Understand who you are as a person.
Develop your life’s destination.
Without planning you loose a lot of time.
Persevere and keep on keeping on.
Overcome your fears.
Be flexible.
No one makes it alone (so build your dream team).
Life is about making the right choices.
Be consistent. (Commit to your vision.)

Graham credits his personal successes to this philosophy. Read more on his plan for success in his book.
