7 Checklist Items for Success: A Guide to a Richer and More Successful Life
What you will undoubtedly notice is that the 7 Checklist Items for Success is not a book for everyone. It is not a book for the timid or for those who consider themselves passengers enjoying the ride of life, with no significant purpose and no desire to leave this world a little better than they found it. This book was written for those of you who know and believe at your core that you were created for something bigger than your current situation or circumstance in life. This book is for those who ask why, and want to find a way to make something happen. You crave a way to realize your full potential. The why of your existence is your core belief about why you are here on this earth. If you believe you are such a person, then this book is for you. As you read, you’ll soon find this book will show you the how of these whys.
At my core, I believe that the satisfaction that comes from investing in yourself and others is the most rewarding and profitable return on your investment there could be. This is obvious in some instances, but not in others. You will be hard-pressed to find a better investment prospect than an individual who believes in herself and decides to commit to self-improvement. Self-improvement can turn a poor person into a philanthropist, an uneducated person into a scholar, a vagabond into an officer, and a student into a professor. Any circumstance can be turned around into a more positive one by self-improvement. Indeed, in addition to a focus on self-improvement, you also seek to focus on the improvement of the people around you.
7 Checklist Items for Success will show you seven ways to challenge yourself to create a more successful life. But why challenge yourself at all? You don’t have to look further than how skeletal muscles get stronger, how a lobster grows, or how a diamond is created to find the answer. When you go to the gym, the more you challenge your musculoskeletal muscles by using them against resistance, the stronger and bigger they get. Because of the restrictive challenge posed by its shell, a lobster is only able to grow by shedding its shell. Diamond is only able to form due to intense pressure and temperature. The seven items on the Checklist to a more successful life will also push you to the limit. You will find many reasons or excuses not to use these seven checklist items daily, but if you really want to have a more successful life, I dare you to apply them!

Jean G Mathurin MD“This is the perfect self-help book for anyone looking to expand their horizons, and finally enact life-long plans for a better existence” - GoodbooksToday.com Reviews
Jean G. Mathurin, M.D. has managed to turn his personal story into a helpful tool for others with “7 Checklist Items For Success: A Guide To A Richer And More Successful Life”. This is the perfect self-help book for anyone looking to expand their horizons, and finally enact life-long plans for a better existence. Fans of inspirational memoirs will also want to pick up a copy of this book.
Goals, action, courage, value, invest, giving, and legacy are the check marks seen at the very top of the cover, and these serve as prompts for the chapters within. Each aspect is thoroughly explored, and explained in an easy to understand format, through actionable steps. Jean Mathurin grew up in poverty, and still found himself driven to achieve greatness. This makes for a compelling argument as to why his process should be followed, and gives merit to all of the steps within these pages. Mathurin’s advice does not come from a place of privilege, but instead built from a wealth of experience. The author remains humble throughout, giving succinct advice pertaining to personal growth, scheduling for success, and avoiding procrastination, among so much more.
“7 Checklist Items For Success: A Guide To A Richer And More Successful Life” is organized in such a way that the tips within are not broad generalities, nor are they huge, insurmountable obstacles. Instead, Mathurin has written something that is compartmentalized in smaller steps, to be put together like a personal puzzle for success over time. Rather than big changes, the process involves changing habits little by little until that end ambition is achievable. Mathurin suggests beginning with daily goals, short term goals, and then long term goals, all to combine into that over arching objective.
This book comes highly recommended for purchase as a part of a personal collection, as well as for a gift intended for someone who needs a little boost in their lives. Jean G. Mathurin’s “7 Checklist Items For Success: A Guide To A Richer And More Successful Life” teaches readers to be thankful, have a sense of humor, and above all else, keep moving forward.

The checklist items were really good and I enjoyed doing some of the homework Mathurin provided throughout the book. Just a little heads up, at the very end Mathurin does get into a religious chapter and really dives in, so for those fellow non-religious folks, it's there, don't be alarmed. It took me by surprise a bit, but it was fine. The checklist is definitely worth getting through so don't let that discourage you from reading (not that it should but some people feeling really strongly about religion). I think he has some useful tips. I really liked learning about his perseverance to become a doctor and I think Mathurin's story is pretty incredible. Definitely worth a read!

Las 7 claves las presenta de una manera general con apoyo de algunas historias de vida sobre personajes que conoció a lo largo de su trayectoria sin embargo su historia de vida fue una inspiración para mí.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I found the author's personal life story to be very inspiring, and his tips and advice to be good. There's not alot of "self-help" books written by people with his background and unique life experience so I think that will definitely help this book stand out from others in the self-help category.
