    About this ebook

    As an Assistant Professor, I have tested my steps in success in the classroom since 1998. The results have been astounding. As you will read, many students have participated in my blogs, submitted testimonials, and emails of appreciation for what they have accomplished as a result of my steps in success. All of us have thoughts from time to time that if we act on, can make us successful and wealthy. Often many others have the same thought, and they act on that idea before we do, ultimately seizing a lifetime opportunity. The point is if we act on our ideas, we have an opportunity to become the next success story.
    The book “Steps in Success” supports and promotes higher education. I have written this book to inspire and motivate people all over the world to challenge themselves to be the best they can be. If you have drive, dedication, and a plan, you can do almost anything. I hope you will embrace some, if not all, of the systems in this book and monitor how your life begins to change. Winning begins with an attitude. You can do anything if you create a plan and work that plan. Rags to riches stories are common in the United States of America. Whatever you want to do, you can, especially in this great nation.
    We have five key senses that many of us do not use to our full potential. A lot of us encounter problems, but may not observe the solutions that are all around us. Sometimes it’s as easy as stop, look, and listen. I encourage students to record whatever happens in the classroom. In technology, it is important to find solutions to problems as quickly as possible. A lot of problems in networking are re-occurring. If you document these events, you will reduce the amount of time it takes to produce solutions. I have noticed that users of technology have a tendency to look for instructions and icons in the center of the screen. So, I created another system to improve a computer user’s chance of succeeding with minimal frustration. It’s called “scan your window.”
    I developed the 30-second rule to get students to think before they answer questions. I believe everything you see and hear is recorded in your brain. It is just a matter of taking some time to retrieve the information and making good use of it. Other steps such as the check-off system, is a method for following instructions in an orderly manner to minimize confusion and reduce the chance for errors. As you complete each instruction, you should draw a check next to the number of the instruction so you know where you are at all times.
    Comparative Analysis is a great time management tool. Analyze your life and document your most productive years. Evaluate what worked and re-create that scenario as much as possible. Use documenting and referencing to monitor this process. Confirmation/Verification is a philosophy I developed in an effort to help minimize the potential for mistakes. The backup rule was created when I decided to back up my work in three or more places. I usually back up on my local drive, a portable device and send an email attachment to myself.
    It is important that you find a way to impress the people who are involved in the decision making process for employment opportunities. I created a system called The WOW Effect. This is a series, of techniques, that will set you apart from the great number of applicants competing for one job. Being a Prime Time Player means being prepared for opportunity when it presents itself. First impressions are the most important. Make sure you are ready when opportunity knocks.
    Solution Providers are in great demand. They consistently display the necessary skills to adapt to routine technology changes that occur virtually every day. Those of us who need little supervision to meet any challenge will always survive the sign of the times. No matter if, the changes are called downsizing, outsourcing or a recession, Solution Providers always land on their feet.

      Dedication

      I dedicate this book to my daughter Tia Jondee’ Naylor. She inspires me to challenge myself to use the talent I believe I have been blessed with.

      Parents have a responsibility to lead by example. My daughter has helped me to be more positive, more productive and more effective.

      I feel my life has a greater purpose, and I am happier as a result of having my daughter. We have been able to endure, solve and overcome all the life challenges we have encountered to date.

      Tia is a true blessing, and I look forward to a long life of joy and happiness watching her grow up. It gives me great pleasure to dedicate the first book I have written to my daughter Tia Jondee’ Naylor.

      Dear Dean:

      Last session I had the opportunity to take a computer class with Professor Naylor. He is one of the most energetic, positive Professors I have ever met.

      He set goals for the class and expected us to always do the best that we could to reach those goals. He always instructed the class not to compare ourselves to others, because everyone is on a different level.

      The word can't is not in the vocabulary in Professor Naylor's class. His motto was that if you feel you can't do something then you won't. If you believe that you can do something then you will. He always made himself available and gave everyone individual help when necessary.

      In the beginning of every class he would write the words 'I am a Solution Provider. These words may seem minor and may not mean a lot to everyone. The first few classes they didn't
