Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success – Steve Harvey

Description

Steve Harvey grew up poor. He slept in his car. He failed repeatedly, publicly, and expensively before he found the specific thing he was put on earth to do. And when he found it — and committed fully to it — everything changed. Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success is the book he wrote to help everyone else find theirs.

This is not a celebrity memoir. It is a practical, warmly personal, and genuinely useful guide to the most important discovery any human being can make: identifying the specific gift — the natural ability, the specific talent, the God-given capacity — that is both the foundation of your greatest professional success and the expression of your deepest personal purpose.

#1 New York Times Bestseller. From one of the world’s most recognisable, most beloved, and most successful entertainers — whose journey from homelessness to global stardom is itself the most powerful proof of the principles he teaches. Available now on Cliffmatt Books for only Ksh 100.

What This Book Teaches:

Discovering Your Gift:

• Why every human being has a specific gift — not a generic talent but the specific, God-given ability that is theirs alone; and why most people go through their entire lives without identifying and fully deploying it
• How to find your gift — the specific process of reflection, honest self-assessment, and paying attention to the specific activities that produce flow, energy, and the particular satisfaction of doing what you were made to do
• The difference between your gift and your skill — why the thing you are paid for is not necessarily the thing you were created for; and how to find the overlap between what you do naturally and what the world will pay for
• Why your gift was given to you to serve others — Harvey’s specific understanding, rooted in his faith, that gifts are not for personal accumulation but for contribution; the specific connection between using your gift in service and building genuine, sustainable success
• For Kenyan readers: the specific cultural and economic pressures that push Kenyans toward “safe” career paths that pay reliably but may not align with their deepest gifts; and the specific courage Harvey’s framework requires — and rewards

Acting Like a Success:

• Why behaviour precedes feeling — the specific argument that you do not wait until you feel successful to act successfully; the specific daily choices, the specific presentation, the specific standards of conduct that communicate success before circumstances confirm it
• The vision board — Harvey’s specific practice of making his desired future visible and concrete; why seeing your goals every day is not superstition but the specific way of keeping the subconscious mind pointed in the right direction
• Relationships and your inner circle — the specific people whose presence in your life either supports or undermines your success; the specific principles for choosing, building, and maintaining the relationships that elevate rather than diminish
• The preparation imperative — Harvey’s most consistent message: that the people who succeed are not the ones who get lucky but the ones who are prepared when the opportunity arrives; the specific discipline of being ready before you need to be

Thinking Like a Success:

• The faith foundation — Harvey is explicit about the role of faith in his success framework; the specific conviction that God has a plan and a gift for every person, and that aligning yourself with that plan is both the most spiritually right and the most practically effective approach to building your life
• Overcoming failure — Harvey’s specific experiences of public, devastating failure; and the specific mindset reframe that allows failure to be a teacher rather than a verdict
• The dream — why having a specific, written, emotionally engaged vision of what you want your life to look like is not wishful thinking but the foundational act of a person who intends to build something extraordinary
• The haters — Harvey’s specific and funny account of how to handle the people who will tell you your gift is not enough, your dream is too big, and your faith is misplaced; why other people’s limited imagination is never a reason to limit your own
• For Kenyan readers: the specific community and family dynamics that can simultaneously support and constrain Kenyan ambition; and the specific wisdom Harvey offers for honouring relationships while not allowing them to diminish your vision

The Vehicle — Turning Your Gift into Your Career:

• The vehicle concept — Harvey’s central metaphor: your gift is the engine; your career is the vehicle; and the goal is to find or build the vehicle that most fully deploys your engine
• Why most people drive the wrong vehicle — working in jobs that use their skills rather than their gifts; the specific difference between being good at something and being called to something
• Building multiple income streams — Harvey’s specific teaching on financial diversification; why a single income source is a single point of failure; and how to use your gift to build income across multiple platforms
• The brand — how to build a personal brand around your gift; the specific choices about how you present yourself, what you are known for, and who knows you that determine how effectively your gift translates into opportunity
• For Kenyan entrepreneurs: the specific application of the vehicle concept to Kenya’s opportunity landscape — the specific fields, the specific platforms, and the specific markets where Kenyan gifts can find their fullest expression and their greatest commercial reward

The Faith Dimension:

• Why Harvey’s success framework is explicitly faith-based — the specific role of prayer, of trusting God’s timing, and of the specific conviction that your gift was given by God for God’s purposes
• The specific prayers — Harvey shares actual prayers that have guided him; the specific intimacy of his relationship with God as the foundation of his professional confidence
• Why secular success principles and faith are not in competition — the specific integration Harvey offers between practical strategy and spiritual dependence that makes this book as useful to a Kenyan Christian as any devotional title in your catalogue
• For Kenyan Christian readers: Harvey’s faith is explicit, sincere, and central — this book belongs as comfortably in your Christian living section as in your self-help section; it is one of the few titles in your catalogue that sits naturally in both

Why Steve Harvey Is the Perfect Messenger for Kenyan Readers:

Steve Harvey is one of the most watched people on African television. His shows — Family Feud, Steve Harvey Morning Show, Little Big Shots — have enormous African audiences. His name recognition in Kenya is exceptional. He is funny, warm, direct, and deeply Christian — the specific combination that makes his message land differently than the same content from a less familiar, less personally compelling voice.

Who This Book Is For:

• Every Kenyan who watches Steve Harvey on television and wants the book that contains his most important personal and professional message
• Kenyan believers who want a success and purpose framework that is explicitly rooted in Christian faith — a self-help book they can recommend from the pulpit
• Young Kenyans who have not yet identified their gift and who need the specific framework for finding it and building a career around it
• Kenyan entrepreneurs who want the motivation, the faith foundation, and the specific practical wisdom of one of the world’s most successful self-made men
• Readers of Think Big (Carson), An Enemy Called Average (Mason), In Pursuit of Purpose (Munroe), and You Were Born Rich (Proctor) who want the most personally warm, most faith-grounded, and most famous-voice motivational title to complete their success library
