About this video

Shelton outlines what he presents as five simple steps to achieving success. He emphasizes that success should be self-defined rather than dictated by others, and argues that knowing your identity, destination, purpose, circle, and trusting in God’s plan are essential. Shelton teaches that purpose keeps people moving forward through struggles and that following these steps will lead to a successful life.

Key takeaways

  • Shelton advises defining success for yourself rather than accepting others’ definitions, as long as it honors God and contributes good to the world
  • Knowing your purpose (your ‘why’) provides direction and helps you persevere through challenges and setbacks, according to Shelton
  • Shelton recommends surrounding yourself with people who share your values and trusting God’s plan rather than trying to control every detail of how success will happen
