Jack Canfield: The Secret for Small Businesses

Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and star presenter in the acclaimed film, The Secret, offers invaluable information that can be used by small business owners in his latest book, The Success Principles. The first chapter of Canfield’s book offers the foundation for success that every start up small business would be wise to consider. The first chapter of Jack Canfield’s The Success Principles is tilted Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life. Canfield begins the chapter by stating that the concept of being entitled to a great life in America is a myth, with the underlying notion that someone or something else is responsible for the outcome of our lives and our success.

In Jack Canfield’s book, The Success Principles, the ideas he presented in The Secret are mirrored. Canfield’s bottom line is that there is only one person responsible for your quality of life, and you are that person. This is the single most important lesson in The Success Principles, and is the undeniable truth upon which Jack Canfield bases his entire book. This truth covers all aspects of life experience including the quality and outcome of all your efforts, your health, finances and relationships. Canfield reminds us that we have been taught from early on to blame something outside our own range of influence for the parts of our life that are not as we would like them to be. We have learned to play victim to the people close to us, the people not close to us, our financial situation, our astrological chart, the weather and so on. We use all of these as excuses to fail or fall short of our goals.

Jack Canfield states that we have to be willing to give up all our excuses and stop blaming outside circumstances. We have to be willing to take authority over our own lives and create the future we want. Canfield, as he mentions in The Secret, goes on to elaborate upon the principle that we have the power to do something differently in order to produce the desired outcome. It is a matter of evaluating the current results and getting the information or education we need, or the change in attitude or response to a situation we need to create new results. In The Success Principles, Jack Canfield says that we have control over 3 things in life – what we think, what we visualize and how we act. To achieve the life and success we want, Canfield challenges us to change how we think and what we say, change our habits, change our friends and change what we read.
