This was more than just a magazine. It marked the beginning of the personal development movement in America. Its founder, Orison Swett Marden, overcame enormous challenges to publish that first issue, and his story has deeply inspired me during some of my own most difficult seasons in business.

Key Highlights:

◼️The story behind Success Magazine and its role in shaping the personal development movement

◼️The obstacles Orison Swett Marden faced to publish the inaugural issue

◼️How Marden’s perseverance gave me perspective and strength in my own entrepreneurial journey

For me, this first issue is a reminder that persistence and belief in a mission can carry you through any challenge. Marden’s story has fueled my determination, and it can inspire you too!
