DEDICATION
THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO the person who held my ladder of success while I was climbing it, even though at times she had to hold the ladder with one hand, while she held our kids with the other. The person who challenged me to think through my goals to make sure my ladder was against the correct wall. To the person who carried my ladder of success, when I was too weary to go on. She encouraged me to take one more rung when I didnt think I had it in me. The person who walked through fire with me, when my ladder fell over and we had to begin over again and again. The person who ran our company, while I put all my energies into this book over the past three or more years... and then found the time to edit it.
Without this person, this book would not have been possible. Without this person, my life would not have been as successful, fun or full of joy. The person I love the most in this world and the person God chose to bless me with, the mother of my incredible children Jim, John, Jessica and Jacqueline, the mother in-law to my beautiful daughter Jocelyn and the grandmother (Grannae, she feels too young to be a grandma) to our new granddaughter Jennifer Alexis Lynn Rowley Jenna. My wife and best friend, Cathy. The greatest success I have ever achieved was by getting you to say Yes! I will marry you. I love you, Cath. Thank you for always being there for me! The ride isnt over yet so fasten your seat belt!

John and I went to the same high school but during different years. We were both under the tutelage of Coach Jim Fraley. Persistence, determination and drive were expected and he drilled that into John and me. As an Olympian, businessman and artist I understand that energy and a positive self attitude are critical. John has reached for the gold with Climb YOUR Ladder of Success without Running out of Gas! I am pleased to see that he is encouraging others to go for the gold in life as well.

The keys to success are universal. I have successfully used the same success principles building my custom home building business as I did playing in the NFL. Energy, passion and a desire to succeed are a winning combination. John is a friend and a business associate and I am glad to see he has scored a touch down with this book.

Being fit and being successful are not opposing goals. In fact, they are complementary of one another. You need an extraordinary amount of energy and discipline to be successful and you nurture both of those while in the gym training. Johns principles are simple, but the results youll achieve will be extraordinary. This book will impact your life forever.
