History and Philosophy

The SUCCESS Foundation believes the principles of personal development offer a blueprint to the actions and attitude that result in individual success and achievement. Our belief is demonstrated by our programs, which serve to help youth practice and incorporate these actions and attitudes into their lives, giving them a foundation for success.

At age 15, Stuart Johnson was given David Schwartz's The Magic of Thinking Big. This began his own personal-development journey and led him to read other classics, including Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Success through a Positive Mental Attitude by W. Clement Stone and many others. Through these books, he discovered that working on himself first best prepared him to take on the challenges of business and life. Today, Johnson is a highly successful businessman, the owner of VideoPlus^® L.P., SUCCESS Media™ and SUCCESS magazine™ and is founder of the SUCCESS Foundation®, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. With its inaugural effort, SUCCESS for Teens™, the foundation hopes to set teens on the path toward reaching their dreams.
