The 8 Cylinders of SuccessTM (or the 8Ps) is a methodology created by the leadership team of Driving School for Life. It is based on academic research (see below) and the in depth study of some of the world’s most successful people and companies to help individuals, teams, and organizations discover and align their lives with their purpose. We view purpose as your personal GPS system that continuously guides you in the right direction throughout life.

Who are my models? Mentors? Guides?
7. Picture = Your road map
