“Habits for Success: Inspired Ideas to Help You Soar is a true keeper. I have focused on this topic for decades through my radio interviews and this is one of the clearest, simplest and effective success books I have read! As an entrepreneur who took many risks to follow my dream, I not only relate to Brian’s success habits, I use them in my daily life, and they are lifesavers. These habits are easy to understand but it takes discipline, belief in self, and tenacity to stay with them but when you do, the results are amazing! I have known Brian for years and have seen his growth and success. This is not a book of platitudes. Brian lives them every day and he is living proof their success! Pick up this book. It will short cut your path to success and add to your joy, happiness and sense of peace.”
—Patricia Raskin, The Patricia Raskin Positive Living Show, award-winning radio producer and broadcaster, author, speaker
“Habits for Success was carefully crafted and easy to follow and understand even with the intricate layers of depth and wisdom. This book can propel you on to great success! Two big thumbs up!”

“Habits for Success is a comprehensive collection of actions and mindset principles to help us not only achieve what we want, but to feel self-fulfilled in the process. As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to become so wrapped up in growing the business that life gets thrown out of balance. So, for me, it was a good reminder to take a step back often and course correct before that imbalance gets out of control. I really enjoyed reading this book! It can become your first step to live the life you’re meant to live.”
—Cloris Kylie, MBA, influencer marketing specialist and author of the book Beyond Influencer Marketing
“Habits for Success has it all. Author G. Brian Benson offers an informative, inspiring, and unique look at growth, self-awareness, and success. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in becoming a better version of themselves.”
—Susyn Reeve, author of Heart Healing: The Power of Forgiveness to Heal a Broken Heart
“I love working with high achievers because high achievers are high believers. And that’s why I was honored to serve as G. Brian Benson’s public speaking coach, just after he made a life-altering decision to walk away from the security of the lucrative family business and blaze his own trail as an author, actor and an inspirational voice for his generation.
Every nugget of wisdom that you will read in this book was learned and earned through Brian’s rigorous commitment to practicing a few simple disciplines—everyday! Brian has moved beyond belief to knowing. And he knows that Habits for Success work because he embodies them every day. Now it’s your turn!”
—Kevin Kitrell Ross, author, activist, Award-Winning Speaker, Master Life Coach, Spiritual Teacher
“When you’re stumbling around in a dark dungeon, and you don’t know which way is out, you hope someone will turn on a light so you can find the exit door. It’s even better when that someone is funny, nonjudgmental, and knows which way to go after you escape. That’s what G. Brian Benson does in his book, Habits for Success. With humor, kindness, and clarity, he turns on the lights and helps you find your way out into a better you. How cool is that? Thank you, Brian.”
—Dr. Carol Francis, clinical psychologist and author of Paths to Recovery After Abuse and Trauma and Own your Peace: KISS Method for Inner Peaceful Living
