    About this ebook

    As parents, if you knew the environment you are providing your child determines their success or their failure, would you want to know how you could make a difference? Would you want to know how to give your kids the edge?

    According to the Psycho-Success Developmental Theory, we are either providing our children with the proper tools for success, or barriers that prevent them from reaching success. Are you a launch pad or a hindrance to your child experiencing success in their life?

    What is success you ask? Success is your child having the ability to effectively deal with challenges, obstacles, disappointments and setbacks, and yet through it all, find peace and happiness. Sounds good right? What parent wouldn’t want to provide their child with the tools necessary to enjoy a successful life? The challenge is, many parents are focused on ineffective methods, typically because they just don’t have the knowledge.

    Are you developing a motivated child or a slacker? Yes, you as a parent determine that as well.

    Human behavior expert Dan Lier, shares proven research by the most prolific behavioral psychologists in history, along with his Psycho-Success Developmental Theory.

    What you will learn:

    - How parents set the stage in the Pre-Development Stage
    - Developing Respect and a Success Mindset
    - Developing the “work-reward” relationship
    - Why some kids are motivated and some are not
    - How to develop the “Drive for More” or the “Drive to Sustain”
    - Why and how kids get “Hard Wired” for success or failure

    Learn how to provide your child with the best chance to succeed in the physical world.

      Is Your Child Wired for Success? - Dan Lier

      Introduction

      What allows people to become successful? When people meet someone who has achieved noteworthy success, it’s human nature to be curious how they did it.

      All human’s by nature have the desire to know - Aristotle

      What made them successful?

      What special skills do they have?

      Were they just blessed or do they have a certain something which allows them to uncover success?

      Can I do the same?

      These common questions have been asked for years; most likely for hundreds of years. In my keynote talks and trainings, both domestically and internationally, people always want the answer to the question of what it takes to be successful.

      I’ve been in the business of achievement and productivity for over 20 years and based on my conversations with people, there is no shortage for answers and opinions for what makes people successful.

      The Short Story

      I earned my Masters degree in 1986 and became intrigued with personal achievement and the psychology that separates those who make it happen, from those who don’t. I embarked on a near 30-year study of human behavior.

      Originally I was focused on sports performance, as I was coaching college basketball and had just completed playing five years of college eligibility as a player and winning two straight national titles.

      As a player, how did our team find the resources to win back-to-back national titles? There were multiple games down the stretch that could have gone either way, yet how did we find a way to win?

      There were teams that could have been more talented than our team, yet we found a way to win when it counted.

      That’s really what it’s about… how to gather the resources to perform at the level necessary to achieve the result you desire.

      Later, as a college basketball coach, I found it fascinating how often times players who had less talent, worked harder than players who were blessed with pure athletic ability. The more athletically talented players often times took short-cuts thus didn’t maximize their true potential. Then of course, there are the rare basketball players that are familiar to the American culture, such as Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, Magic & Bird to name a few, who were blessed with the talent, and yet possessed the proper mindset and work ethic to rise above the competition and create a separation.

      This simple equation holds true outside the world of sports as well. It holds true in business, in entertainment and as an entrepreneur.

      Shortly after my college basketball playing and coaching experience, I found myself in the corporate world selling commercial insurance. During my training program, I was introduced Denis Waitley via audiotapes, one of the leaders in personal achievement in the late 80’s. Denis was a psychologist who’s 1979 best selling book The Psychology of Winning started me on the path of discovery. A discovery to understand human achievement and what gives some people the ability to do what it takes to win.

      I was intrigued with the possibility that a person’s psychology would, or could dictate a person’s success or failure. I studied most advanced thinkers and philosophers, such as James Allen, Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill and Zig Ziglar. One by one, I studied, I learned and I applied. I listened and took notes to hours of audio by Brian Tracy and Tony Robbins. In Tony Robbins’ first book Unlimited Power I became intrigued with NLP and how language patterns affect how people hear things thus affecting what they do. As I result, researched and learned about Richard Bandler and John Grinder, the founders of NLP.

      In 1996 and I went to Kona, Hawaii and earned my certification in NLP by Tad James. Tad is considered one of the best NLP masters in the world. My acquisition of NLP knowledge took my skills to the next level. In addition, I was fortunate to work with Tony Robbins for six years, which placed me an environment of constant learning, coaching, presenting and growing. I was performing corporate talks and coaching business executives everyday. Most interesting to me was seeing and experiencing the differences in human behavior first hand.

      Tony Robbins’ company was RRI (Robbins Research International), and one of my positions was titled FSR (field sales representative). I was giving success presentations two and three times a day with the goal to sell tickets to Tony Robbins’ 1-day business event. I was on 100% commission, so selling tickets was the ultimate goal. The meetings had anywhere from 5 people to 100’s of people in attendance, yet most were in the 10 – 30 people range. When it came time for the close, meaning asking for a commitment from the people in the room to go to the event, it was fascinating to see how people responded in front of one another.

      Typically, people associate a selling situation where it’s one–on-one, or maybe one with two, meaning a sales person and a couple. My experience was different.

      With 30 people in the room, human behavior changes. I was highly skilled in closing and I understood human behavior, so after a series of pre-frames, reframes and a test close, I would close for the sale in front of the entire the group. With skill and with precision, I would address each person one by one in front of the group and look to uncover the excuse and give them the logic, reason and emotion to sign-up, commit and attend the event. It was incredible training for me.

      As a natural progression, I studied what I consider to be the most influential behavioral psychologists in the world and based my writings, teachings and video releases on their work. People such as:

      • William James

      • Sigmund Freud

      • Carl Rogers

      • Albert Bandura

      • Jean Piaget

      • Ivan Pavlov

      • Kurt Lewin

      • Erik Erikson

      • B.F. Skinner

      • Viktor Frankl

      • Carl Jung

      • John Watson

      These twelve psychologists laid my foundation of behavioral psychology today and represent the fundamentals of the science of psychology. The more I studied this group of men, the more I realized how significant their research was and how human behavior is predictable.

      Can people really be wired for success?

      Yes we can. Through my research, studies and professional experiences with hundreds and hundreds of clients, acquaintances and personal relationships, I’ve uncovered the foundation and the basis for the success wiring that impacts the advancement of humans.

      In this book I’m going cover three areas:

      1. Present my theory on how people are wired for success… or how they are wired to be average or even an underachiever.

      2. Share personal stories of other people who have the success wiring.

      3. How our wiring impacts our intimate relationships.
