Are you struggling to find courage to take risks associated with following your dream?


Are you facing many obstacles?


Do you need an extra push to jumpstart your dream?


Where do I start? I asked myself this question when pursuing my dream of going off to college in the USA with no money…


What if I told you, you could achieve your dreams with little or NO MONEY?


You may be in your last semester of high school, or in college and don’t know how you are going to make it to your next semester. I was faced with a huge problem after being accepted into UNC Charlotte. The total cost of tuition and fees for the first year was $30,000, while I only had about $1,500 saved up from my after-school jobs! Despite meager funds, I purchased a one-way ticket to Charlotte, North Carolina, in hopes of fulfilling my childhood dream of becoming a civil engineer.


This book shares the story of how I relied on faith, intuition, and humility to defy the odds and overcome obstacles to realize my dream from the Bahamas to UNC Charlotte. Your obstacles may be lack or money, lack of resources, or even your geographical location.


Journey to Success: Defy the Odds & Realize Your Dreams will help you overcome obstacles and achieve your dreams.


This book will:



    • Give you ideas on how to study in the USA for little or NO MONEY

    • Help you create an action plan to achieve your goals and objectives

    • Motivate you to keep pushing to achieve your dreams after reading my story

    • Be a short powerful read. You can finish it in one sitting! (Less than 4 hours)


    Read Journey to Success and you will be motivated to achieve your dreams. Many people have given testimonials of how this book has inspired them to achieve their dreams with little or no money in just a short space of time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring read for adults, solid role-modeling for young adults or teenagers
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016

    This is a very inspiring book and I loved reading it. Charles Rose begins with his own story of dreaming big and leaving the Bahamas to earn an unaffordable degree in the US. With focus, discipline, dedication and faith, he made the impossible happen. The first part alone is inspiring and motivating to read. Then he continues on into a practical part, listing the few points he focused on continuously to make his seemingly impossible dream a reality. This part is followed by the next section, which is a list of questions for helping the reader identify his or her dreams, identify the obstacles, and schedule clearly directed action. The last part is a moving chapter by his mother about how she raised her children and obviously, she did her job exceptionally well. I recommend this book for anyone who seeks motivation to get started on their own heart's desire but fears that the probability of achieving it is not in their favor. It's also a great book for young adults or teenagers for solid role-modeling of the attitude required for success.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Because this book is relatively short and easy to understand
    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    As other reviews have pointed out, Journey to Success is the motivational account of the author's path to achieving his dream of a higher education through faith and hard work. This is not a difficult read, as it is a brief book that is manageable to read at one time, and the subject matter is not complex. Because this book is relatively short and easy to understand, I believe that it shines as a motivational tool to high school and even middle school students looking towards college. I would recommend this book to anyone (especially students) pursuing a seemingly out-of-reach dream, as it is a solid reminder of the power of faith and perseverance.

    Now, understand that I'm one of those people who get teary eyed at certain commercials so the fact that I had tears running down my cheeks and goosebumps in parts of this book is normal. This is an outstanding tale of determination and perseverance, of hard work and vision, and of hope realized. The author's personal story of his rise from origins of challenge in the Bahamas to his glory in graduating from a U.S. university should be a guide to other young men and women who face paths with similar hurdles. It can be done and this young man proves it. This isn't just a happy ending book, it's an "I can do anything" book. Read this and feel good about the author's future and the future of the world. When the majority adopt his attitudes, we will all have a better future.

    This is NOT your average self-improvement book! This author has brought to the table a work that offers:
    1) a quick, compelling, inspiring story that can be read in an evening
    2) tools for YOU to use to help you along your own journey - great to help get you out of a rut and get you moving when you're overwhelmed and discouraged, and can't seem to figure out what to do next...and end up doing nothing instead.
    3) a special 'Message to Mothers' at the end that SERIOUSLY needs to go viral.

    It's a fun, quick read that can really help get you moving and chasing your dreams. Priceless.

    Journey to Success is an inspiring and interesting story that tells a personal story of a young man's perseverance from childhood to adulthood. He has been able to identify his dreams and goals for life not forgetting his personal background and what it took to get him to where he is now. As a person who is very familiar with Charles' ideals, I am delighted to express my views on this book as I consider it to contain lessons in humility, fortitude and great determination. Young and older people alike can use this young man's tools of discipline, aspiration and optimism as a means for creating a positive life for themselves. It is my view that this book will be on your Best Seller's list very soon.

    Truly an amazing story of not only a very dedicated, hard working young man, but of a family. Inspiring and motivating, Charles has lived more than many of us ever do because he worked hard. What struck me was the influence his parents, particularly his mother, had on influencing him. She made college a non-negotiable for Charles and his sister, beginning at an age when they didn't even understand what college was. Wonderful book, especially for those who think their circumstances are holding them back... this book can motivate anyone to think beyond their immediate situation and see that really, they themselves are the real obstacle to success. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

    Journey to success is an interesting read from many aspect. There is a great personal story on perseverance of the author to raise above the common mentality. At first I was captivated by learning about the lifestyle of people in Bahamas. There is total different mentality which is well portrayed in the book. I love author's mother. She must be an amazing lady with an extraordinary wisdom that made her raise great children such as Charles. This is a story of a young man who knew what he wanted since he was a boy. This boy never gave up and worked hard until he achieved his dream.

    " Great true story of a young man Charles who successfully becomed a Civil Engineer at USA University coming from small Island of Bahamas, escaping poverty and struggling against a lot of odds.
    The 7 most important advices come from Charles Mother. For me as Italian Mom is " Kick the bird out of nest" She is right. For us it is diffiicult to accept , but she is right! Nice and light style of telling his story.Itt happens to me also. so i can understand the courage and the inner energy, the strong motivation to go so far to realize our dreams. In French we say "CHAPEAU" since he was telling to some friends his story in Principato di Monaco. " CHAPEAU" Expecially because He now will help &support young people to go on. This is the very important Model to cooy and paste. this positive trend. The world will thank him. So do I.
