“Temporary failure is the tool used by life to discourage true champions from winning.” Have you ever had a great idea and you talked you out of it? One of the greatest gifts you have been given in life is your ability to dream. Everything that we have today began with someone’s dream. In From Success to Significance, motivational speaker Kris Mathis delivers a step-by-step program that teaches you The 8 Keys to Achieving any Goal or Dream. These principles will help you discover your true purpose, how to take control of your life, and then help you go on to make your goals and dreams a reality. Having graduated with honors from the "University of Hard Knocks," Kris Mathis makes his personal experiences heartfelt and engaging in a way that very few authors rarely can. Kris humbly writes about his experiences while in the pursuit for success; and more importantly uncovers the significance of his life through this process. In "From Success to Significance", what you will discover is that Kris has traveled a road that many people are familiar with. He has overcome numerous trials on his journey for success, including a poverty stricken past and a rare facial paralysis that nearly ended his career. "From Success to Significance: The 8 Keys to Achieving any Goal or Dream" is sure to motivate, inspire, and educate you on what you will need to reach your dreams! “Your life will never be the same after you make the decision that nothing can stop you from reaching your dream.”

Review

"Kris, I am truly inspired by how you turned your life's challenges into a source of energy to help yourself and others. As you share your own past pain, you allow others to connect with you and ultimately choose a better life for themselves and those around them. Keep up the great work Kris, and if in the future I can help bring more opportunities your way, I will be sure to do so.
All the best, Katy."
- Katy D. Jacks, Owner/Partner,
N2R Media, Liverpool, U.K.

"Kris, I am inspired by your speech, life struggle, and the success that has come through you overcoming your obstacles. You have motivated me to send my fears packing. I thank God Almighty for your life."
- Grace Yoka, Founder of,
Rusinga Mwisho Mother and Child, Vienna, Austria

"In From Success to Significance, Kris Mathis gives hope to all of us who struggle with believing in the possibilities of who we can be. He teaches us through living his own dream and sharing the tools we need to accomplish our dreams. Then, he helps us to discover significance in our life through helping others. Kris gives us the steps to living our dream; and he helps us discover how to unlock the barriers of humiliation, stress and discouragement in others who have forgotten they have a special personal value to share."
- Jack Greenfield,
 President/CEO of Arbor Circle

"In Kris Mathis' new book, From Success to Significance: The 8 Keys to Achieving any Goal or Dream, readers are able to take their dreams and destiny into their own hands. None of the typical motivational advice applies here. Mathis cleverly intermingles his own personal stories along with the steps, in order to show the reader how these steps are applied in real life situations. The relaxed tone and speech allow readers to feel as if they are having a one on one conversation with Mathis in their living room..."
- Grand Rapids Times Newspaper

"Kris grew up in deep poverty and has since had a successful career in marketing and now in public speaking. His life could be another "Pursuit of Happyness" movie.... I found him truly inspiring."
- Nicholas Swartz

From the Author

This is a work of nonfiction based on my life experiences. I have rendered the events faithfully and truthfully just as I have recalled them. The 8 key ingredients that are given in this book were created by me and used on my journey to help me reach my dreams. Some names and descriptions of individuals have been changed in order to respect their privacy. The words in this book are told in a way that evokes the real feeling and meaning of what was said and my view of what happened to me. While keeping in mind the true essence of the mood and spirit of those moments that shaped my life.

In the book From Success to Significance, Kris delivers a powerful message with his honest words. He willingly shares his own personal experiences and gives guidance to a better future. While reading, I felt as though he was speaking directly to me as a friend. I put the book down only once at midnight so that I could get some rest before going to work at 5am. In 2 days, he taught me how to go from being a Contender to being a Winner. This is a very inspirational book that should be read by all. We all have something special in us and Kris intends to reveal it to us so that we may shine.

Sincerely,

Melissa Little

Kris Mathis sets out the simple 8-step process that has moved him from poverty and fear to success in his own life and significance in the lives of many. One of many lines that caught my attention was "You're closer than you think to the dream you want." Here it sounds like a message in a fortune cookie, but when it comes from the mouth or pen of Kris Mathis, it rings true. I want the young people and the adults with whom I work to experience the message of this book for themselves.

These things worked for Kris. If he can do it, we can too.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Success To Significance!
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013
It is often a herculean task for black inner city youth to break the cycle of poverty, violence, condemnation and marginalization into which they are born. For young black males especially, it would seem as though society has a preordained path for them that takes them as far as you could imagine from anything positive, progressive or prestigious.

So then, how does one young man from the inner city, raised in a world that seemed hell-bent on grinding his self-esteem into nothing but dust, manage to blaze such a fire-bright trail towards success?

This book "From Success to Significance: The 8 Keys to Achieving any Goal or Dream" is life-changing.Through the book, Kris has shared profound insights on self-improvement and motivation.

What makes this book amazing, is how openly the author shares his life experiences. Not everyone is willing to be that open about the gritty, ugly parts of their life story, but Kris holds no punches when he shares. And maybe it's because he's so open about how rough things were for him, that we feel so compelled to grasp and run with the practical life lessons and principles he shares. If these principles were his stepping stones that raised him up and helped him achieve his dreams and goals, we had better try using those same principles too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended book to Read
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013
From Success to Significance: The 8 Keys to Achieving any Goal or Dream is such an easy to read, motivating book. Kris Mathis, does a great job of setting the foundation of what it takes to be a success. Although many of us may be familiar with the steps that Kris shares, it is these very steps that we have the hardest time applying and being committed to in our lives. This isn't a get rich book that tells you the secrets on how to activate your dreams to success the quickest and easiest way possible. This book meets you right where you are, especially for those who maybe because what you are going through now, don't believe that there is a way to make your dream a reality. Kris shares his journey, to show that not only is it possible, because he been there and done that, but he also shows that everything you need is already within you (the main ingredient in which the 8 keys resides), even if your present circumstances seems to show you otherwise. I highly recommend this book to all, who just needs some encouragement with a little nudge to push them in the right direction.-------------Sharisa T.

For me this book is a daily reminder of how things are just temporary and will not be permanent unless you allow them. The motivation and inspiration that is installed in this book was enough for me. I cried, I laughed, and most important I gained and learned that You have to keep moving forward no matter what happens. This is an amazing book. Looking forward to the next one.
