According to the company,[1] the magazine "focuses on people who take full responsibility for their own development and income", and provides personal and professional development.
Success was established in 1897 byOrison Swett Marden as a way to promote "New Thought Philosophy", which taught positive thinking, life skills, and discipline. That magazine continued until 1911 when it merged withThe National Post. The magazine was revived as theNew Success in 1918, and then re-adopted the titleSuccess in 1921; the magazine was published until 1921, being replaced byNew Age Illustrated at that time.[2]

In words of the Executive Editor,Og Mandino, the magazine sought to inform its readers how to become a "whole person - not just wealthy, but also healthy, happy and wise."[3]
The magazine changed its name toSuccess in 1981. It remained in publication until 2001, ceasing publication shortly before Stone's death in 2002. The magazine was restarted in 2008 by a Texas businessman.[4]
