Five Secrets to Success: A Weekly Email Series

Many people want to change something about their lives but are unsure where to begin. The Five Secrets to Success series was built as a gentle starting point. It ran for five weeks, with one email a week, and each message introduced a new secret.

What each email contained

Every message mixed an entertaining story with practical tools and tips. The stories made the idea memorable, and the tools gave the reader something to try straight away. The series was free.

The underlying message

The core belief was that life does not have to be hard and that you can create what you want, provided you know where to start. Each secret was one of the five key ingredients the author associated with creating change. The archive does not list the five secrets by name, so they are not described here.

Making use of a weekly format

A spaced series works because it limits you to one idea at a time. A simple way to benefit is to read the email when it arrives, choose one tool, use it for the whole week, and write down what you notice before the next message comes.
