Dear seeker of success and happiness,

We all have mixed feelings as we step into our adult life.

There's the excitement and anticipation of looking forward to sudden freedom, and doing things we want with nobody giving us orders or instructions concerning what we'll do -- or how we'll act. Although society always influences how we act one way or another.

And there's the apprehension of entering unknown territory. Wondering how we'll do on our own.

You feel that way don't you? Or didn't you when you first left your parents home, and started chasing your dreams? With a head full of ideas about what kind of work you wanted, thoughts about things you'd do, places you'd travel.

Whispers of visions that jumped into your mind for a moment, then quickly vanished leaving little but a vapor as they escaped your grasp. So many fantasies about what we thought we wanted, but at such a young age we just didn't take the time, or didn't know how to take time, to focus on our ideal future.

Success in life requires planning out the future, and sometimes we're in too big a hurry getting on with living today to bother with making plans for tomorrow.

Focus is the key to happiness, success, and a comfortable lifestyle. Focus requires discipline, and for discipline we often need a little help learning ways to activate that discipline in ourselves.

Inside this website...

You'll find information that helps you develop the disciplines you need to live a life of success.

It's not an easy road to travel. Failure is the result of taking the easy way, success requires that you constantly monitor your progress, review your wants and desires, question your actions and motives. Success requires that you envision the big picture of your future -- then break it down into little snapshots...one for today, one for tomorrow, one for next week, one for next month, one for next year.

Do you see that picture?

Hi, my name is Joe Jackson. I retired at age 46. That was my first major career , and I worked as an expert in high-end electronic manufacturing processes (and auditor of manufacturing process quality). My duties (during the years leading to my retirement) involved traveling to contractors who built product for my company, monitoring their processes, and ensureing those processes gave us the quality our end product required.

Cost was a factor, but not near as important as dependability and longevity.

But 46 is much too young for retirement, before long I got bored. I'm not the couch potato type, and the thought of my brain doing so little that it starts stagnating scares the hell out of me. I kind've feel that threatening when I sit too many hours watching TV. Don't need a mind for that.

So I started writing and traveling, doing stuff I enjoy like kayaking, camping, scuba diving, and fishing.

Then the thought occured to me that I had valuable experience in how to succeed at life, knowledge that others could use. So rather than keep what I know a secret I wrote "Life Is A Process...AND That Process Is Measurable!" to pass the techniques I used to you.


I dedicate the information you'll find in this site to the purpose of helping you achieve all you want in your life.

You'll learn how to draw pictures that show your progress through life. Hang them on your wall so a quick glance is all you need to see where you are on your way to your next goal.

Statistical Process Control gives you techniques for measuring what you do each day, and creating charts that show if you go off course. One look and you know if it's time for an adjustment.

But before you start gathering the data for making those charts you gotta have a plan for the future. And before you plan your future, you must know your starting point. If you don't know where you are, you don't know what to build on.

"Life Is A Process...AND That Process Is Measurable!" helps you figure out where you are. Or maybe you just want that information alone. It's in the report, "Figure Out Who You Are And Decide If That's OK," and it leads you to finding where you are at any given point in life, and deciding if you want that, or a different path to your life of success.

In fact, I've divided "Life Is A Process...AND That Process Is Measurable!" into the individual reports you see on this site. Just in case you want to read about a particular topic without spending the money on the whole book. Isn't it nice to have choices?

For instance, maybe you just want to learn a way to get rich. If so you'll find one way in "How To Retire A Millionaire." It's not a get-rich quick plan, but it'll sure get the job done by the time you retire if you give it enough time...and stick with it.

How about a 7-step process for setting your goals and drawing a map of your future? "Designing Your Life's Success Path" gives you methods for drawing the map of personal growth to follow toward succeeding in life. Check it out at successful life's design.
