The book is organised around the acronym OPTIMISTIC – the Ultimate Success Formula. This stands for Objectives; Plans; Tenacity; Integrity; Motivation; Interpersonal relationships; Self-esteem; Thinking positively; Improvement and Control. Memorise this formula to recall the skills you need to grow and develop, realise your dreams, and reach your potential.
