DECIDE SUCCESS: You Ain’t Dead Yet: Twelve Action Steps to Achieve the Success You Truly Desire

John M. Baumann JD, BBA, author of DECIDE SUCCESS (Twelve Action Steps): You Ain’t Dead Yet, is an internationally-renowned National Speakers Association inspirational success speaker. The DECIDE SUCCESS principles help real people deal with life-changing events providing Twelve Action Steps for them to live their lives to the fullest. For him, it was Parkinson's Disease at the ripe young age of 41. For others, it may be another disease, an injury, loss of a job, loss of a loved one, relocation, divorce, issues with children, and even marriage. The DECIDE SUCCESS principles also help students obtain the most from school, those starting out in the workforce succeed and even someone taking up a new sport or hobby do their best.

John Y. Brown Jr., 55th Governor of Kentucky, former Owner of the Boston Celtics and successful businessman: “John Baumann has used his life as an example and inspiration for others to follow. Decide Success offers wisdom and confidence on how to make the most out of your life and find happiness and fulfillment every step of the way. After you read it, you will say: “What a book! What a life!” Good luck John. You’re a good man and have a great message.”

GJ Hart, Chief Executive Officer of California Pizza Kitchen and former CEO of Texas Roadhouse: “What an amazing book. As John says in the book, “Don’t give yourself a choice. Turn off the doubting Thomas in you. Silence the negative voice in your head” and read this book today. The best thing you can do for your personal and professional development is to read this book. So decide for yourself to succeed and read John’s book.”
Matthew Hamel, Executive Vice-President, Brown-Forman Corporation: “John Baumann has taken on the biggest questions any of us can face (What do I want out of my life? How can I achieve it?) and described twelve specific, concrete steps that will lead each of us to the answers. These answers will, of course, be different for every reader, but John demonstrates that the process by which we arrive at them is not. John’s method requires each of us to be honest with ourselves – even uncomfortably so. This is the hard part, but John leads by example, sharing his own journey with a disarming frankness. As big as the issues are that John urges us to wrestle with, he makes them manageable and even fun with his down-to-earth style. Reading this book, you will get the sense that you are chatting with a wise friend, which makes the challenge he lays down for us seem all the more possible. Read this book with pen in hand; you will want to highlight the many nuggets of wisdom and return to them often as you work John’s method to conquer the world, or at least your corner of it.″
