INTRODUCTION
Many people in our world today are struggling. Young people, old people, and the middle-aged alike, are struggling to find purpose and meaning in their lives. Many are just struggling to get by. Families, Communities, Schools, Governments, and Companies are struggling to find leadership, and to achieve great results. Many are just struggling to get by.
Finding success in life or business doesn’t have to be such a struggle. Success can be achieved by anyone who seeks it. Where to look for and how to find success, are outlined within these pages. Take Charge – Get Results describes a process that when followed, will help you, the reader, find the kind of success you’re looking for. The Success Principles discussed in this book are not new, however the way in which they are presented is new. You’ll find the information relevant, easy to read, and easy to understand. From the first chapter to the last you will see a natural progression, and gain a deeper appreciation for how the successful application, of one principle, positively impacts your readiness to apply the next.

Establish your goals. Sustain your motivation. Make a lasting commitment. Plan your work. Implement your plan. Solve problems along the way. Keep your balance. And finally, take ownership of your results. Anyone can achieve success once they know how. So can you.

We are tested. Pressed to find the answers in a neverending Sea of questions;
Fighting to keep our backs off the wall, just as life would Have us against it.

We are arrested. Failing to elude the freezing Winds of fear;
Bound in chains, as prisoners of our own Self-doubt.

We are bested. More inclined to blame than Find solutions;
More inclined to give up, and
Make excuses.
In times like these

Testimonials
"Morse has an easy writing style that doesn't 'dumb down' the reader, but instead let's the reader know that if his guidance on achieving what we individually learn is our definition of success, then the fault lies with the reader's inability to take charge of what introspection has instructed us - finding our HONEST, self-motivated road to success."
-Grady Harp, Amazon top 10 Reviewer
"As a rule, I'm not that fond of books of this type. Far too often the authors are overbearing bundles of energy who quickly grow overbearing if not condescending. George J. Morse is not that kind of motivational writer, however. By keeping it simple, tying all of his points together, and reiterating the step he considers essential to the process, he has written a book that can help virtually any reader find and follow his/her own personal road to success."
-Daniel Jolley, Amazon top 50 Reviewer
"Realistic, straightforward and easy to apply are the concepts presented by Morse. Too often there is good theory and no application. Written based on personal experiences in running successful businesses, readers are sure to enjoy and benefit from this fresh perspective on these foundational business principles."

'Mr. Morse encourages people to define success on their own terms and then take charge of their situation in a very upbeat and motivating way. Making sense of a personally complicated subject is a dominant theme throughout Mr. Morse’s book Take Charge – Get Results. Mr. Morse motivates people and explains the simple things so many people can do to bring happiness and success into their lives!”
