Remember Success magazine? The magazine whose cover Richard Brooke dreamed of gracing (a dream that eventually—famously—came true)? The magazine that boldy went where no mainstream journal had gone before, when it began offering regular positive coverage of the network marketing industry in the early 1990s?

In the late nineties, it was both sad and darkly ironic when the old Success went under. “Did you hear what happened to Success?” “No, what?” “It failed.” Similar quips floated around earlier this year when Business 2.0 bit the dust (“Did you hear what happened to Business 2.0?” “No, what?” “It went out of business 2.0.”).

Well, quip no more: Success is back.The iconic journal begun more than a century ago (in 1891) by Orison Swett Marden, and whose parade of esteemed editors has included such remarkable characters as Napoleon Hill, W. Clement Stone and Og Mandino, is resurfacing this spring, under new ownership: none other than VideoPlus, the people who brought us Business Is Booming, The Slight Edge, The Next Millionaires, and Robert Kiyosaki’s Business School.

For a few years now (since I turned fifty), I’ve been claiming that the first fifty years is just for practice. Maybe it’s the same for magazines as it is for people, just a different number: life begins at 116.

This new incarnation promises to be the best Success yet. Check it out: www.successmagazine.com.
