Success Has Gears: Using the Right Gear in Business and Life
While shadowing Highly Successful People, Susan Ford Collins discovered something all leaders need to know: Success and leadership have gears that must be shifted up and down, at the right time. In Success Has Gears, Susan Ford Collins and Richard Israel teach you to literally transform your leadership overnight.

When you and your organization use the right Success and Leadership Gears at the right time, your effectiveness, productivity, creativity will rise to the next level. And the impact of your contribution rises too.

Amazon Reviews …
In my opinion, "BLUR" is a unique discovery that addresses the everyday struggles many of us are facing in the aftermath of COVID. This book focuses on the "BLUR" we encounter as we navigate through life or cope with the pain of grief, making it a crucial topic. From the first few pages, I was captivated and impressed by the author's ability to establish a connection with the reader. I strongly recommend this book and suggest purchasing a copy for a friend as well. — Ishmael Voltaire
Susan Ford Collins' book should be required reading for anyone, but it was especially profound for me. As I was reading, I realized I was allowing my fear of failure and rejection to BLUR the expression of my creativity. I was forgetting that, to achieve the success I envision, ALL of our efforts must be collaborative. Through a myriad of examples and reflections, Susan demonstrates that great leaders are able to communicate their vision clearly and concisely and that success is achieved by positively, decisively and quickly responding to feedback. Thank you, Susan for being open and sharing your story of incredible love and incredible loss. You’ve given us a guide and toolkit to help see The Way Ahead. — Adam Oliver
Susan Ford Collins has done it again! Based on personal stories, told straight from the heart, she takes us on a journey providing concrete examples and clarity for all of us looking at understanding what happened since 2020. An essential read for any leader … and any human being. — Eric Rozenberg
As an editor, I work with many writers. Only a minority are willing to do the hard work of writing and rewriting and
reading and rereading until the book is ready. Susan is one of those hard workers who cares about every word. You'll certainly enjoy this book. — David Bricker
