SUCCESS-IN-YOU® FOR TEENS
Help Them Understand Who They Are. Before the World Tells Them Who to Be.
Success-in-You for Teens is a personal-development journey that helps teenagers build greater self-awareness, confidence, responsibility, and direction for the life ahead.
Not another lecture. Not another person telling them what to do. A place where they can begin discovering for themselves.
Begin with three original lessons. No pressure. No commitment.
The Goal
We don't put success into young people. We help them discover what's already within them.
The goal isn't to tell them who to become. It's to help them better understand who they are and become more intentional about where they're going.
Teenagers: This Part Is for You
Success-in-You for Teens: This Is Your Life
Meet Emma and Lucas, your teen mentors. This journey isn't about adults telling you who you should become. It's about discovering more about who you are, the choices you're making, and the life you want to build.
Your parents may have opened the door — but this journey belongs to you.
Welcome to Success-in-You for Teens
Why I Created Success-in-You for Teens.
For more than three decades, we've used behavioral understanding to help adults and organizations better understand people.
Along the way, executives began asking a different kind of question: Could these same principles help their marriages, their families, and their teenagers?
Success-in-You for Teens grew from those conversations.
This isn't about fixing your teenager. It's about helping them discover the potential already within them.
Growing Up Has Changed
Today's Teens Are Capable. They're Also Navigating a Lot.
Teenagers are growing up surrounded by more information, more comparison, more technology, more opinions, and more decisions than previous generations experienced at the same age.
We can't make every decision for them. We can help them develop better tools for understanding themselves and thinking more intentionally.
More Voices
Friends, family, school, culture, social media, and the internet all compete for attention.
More Comparison
Young people can compare themselves with hundreds of others before the day even begins.
More Decisions
Relationships, school, technology, money, identity, and future choices arrive quickly.
More Opportunity
With the right understanding and tools, today's teens also have extraordinary possibilities ahead of them.
Your Free Starting Point
Start With Awareness. Watch Decisions Change.
We created three original lessons specifically as a Free Starting Point for families who want to experience the thinking behind Success-in-You before deciding what comes next.
This is not a preview or abbreviated version of the paid course. These are three different lessons with value of their own.
Three thought-provoking lessons. One meaningful place to begin.
- Why Feeling Different Feels So Hard A starting point for understanding themselves and the experience of feeling different.
- Before You Decide Anything Slow down, think, and consider what happens before an important choice is made.
- Where It All Comes Together Bring the ideas together and begin applying them to real life.

The journey begins by helping teens think beyond today, explore their dreams, create a stronger starting mindset, and turn what matters to them into meaningful goals.

Where Self-Awareness Becomes Personal
Your Teen Isn't Like Every Other Teen. Their Experience Shouldn't Be Either.
General principles matter. But personal growth becomes much more meaningful when a teenager begins understanding how those principles apply specifically to them.
ProScan helps your teen better understand their natural behavioral strengths, communication tendencies, needs, motivations, and individual differences.
Rather than comparing themselves with everyone around them, they begin developing a language for understanding themselves.
Powered by PDP Behavioral Technology
Help Them Better Understand the Person They Live With Every Day: Themselves.
- Recognize natural behavioral strengths.
- Understand communication preferences.
- Appreciate individual differences.
- Increase awareness of personal needs and motivations.
- Turn general personal-development ideas into personal insight.
A Resource for Parents
Go Deeper Into the Why Behind Behavior.
The Why You Do
The Why You Do, written by Success-in-You founder Don Crosby, explores how natural behavioral differences can influence communication, reactions, expectations, pressure, and the way people interpret one another.
For parents, it can provide another perspective on an important question: “Why does my teen respond the way they do?” It is not required for the Success-in-You for Teens experience. It is simply an optional resource for parents who want to better understand behavior and communicate with greater awareness.
Understanding your teen doesn't mean agreeing with everything. It means having more information before deciding how to respond.
Optional parent resource • Paperback, eBook, or audiobook

National Media Distribution
Success-in-You for Teens Was Introduced Across a National Media Network.
When Success-in-You for Teens launched, the announcement was distributed broadly across national, business, financial, and local-news media networks.
As Seen On
A National Introduction for a Program Built Around a Very Personal Mission.
The media distribution helped introduce Success-in-You for Teens and the importance of personal development for young people to a much broader audience.
Who Is This For?
Skills for Life. Confidence for Now.
Success-in-You isn't only for a teenager who is struggling. Personal development can be just as valuable before a problem ever develops.
For the Teen Who May Be Struggling
Sometimes the signs are easy to see. Other times, a teenager may be carrying more than they know how to explain.
- Confidence rises and falls with circumstances.
- They feel different, misunderstood, or out of place.
- Focus, motivation, discipline, or decision-making can be difficult.
- They are navigating pressure, comparison, relationships, or uncertainty.
- Emotions sometimes arrive before they have time to think.
For the Teen Who Seems to Be Doing Just Fine
Growth doesn't have to begin with a problem. Some of the best preparation happens before a setback ever arrives.
- You want them to understand themselves more deeply.
- You want them to think more intentionally about their choices.
- You want to strengthen confidence before pressure increases.
- You want practical life tools—not another lecture.
- You believe preparation is better than waiting for a crisis.
For Families Who Want Faith Included
The Same Journey. With Optional Faith Companions.
The core Success-in-You for Teens experience is designed to serve families from many backgrounds.
For Christian families and churches who want to connect these life principles more intentionally with faith, we've created additional faith-based companion resources.
Families can choose the companion approach that best fits them without changing the core Success-in-You experience.
The World They're Growing Up In
We Can't Remove Every Pressure. We Can Help Them Prepare.
Growing up has never been simple. Today's teenagers are navigating a world that rarely seems to slow down.
More Voices
Friends, school, social media, family, culture, and the internet are all competing to tell them who they should be.
More Comparison
Teenagers can measure themselves against hundreds of other people before they even get out of bed in the morning.
More Decisions
Choices about relationships, technology, school, money, identity, and the future arrive earlier than many young people expect.
We can't prepare a teenager for every situation they will face. But we can help them better understand themselves, think before they react, make more intentional choices, and know that one difficult moment does not define their future.
A Message Worth Hearing
You Can Do It, If You Try!
A special song of encouragement written and performed by our dear friend, Alvin Okami.
Listen to Alvin's Message
You Can Do It, If You Try!
Written and performed by Alvin Okami
Sometimes encouragement arrives at exactly the right moment. This song is a simple reminder to keep trying, keep believing, and remember that a difficult moment is only one part of a much larger story.

A Thought Worth Remembering
There Is Always More to Live For.
One bad day doesn't define a life. One mistake doesn't determine a future. One painful moment doesn't erase all the possibilities still ahead. And one difficult season doesn't mean the story is over.
Your Next Step
You Can't Prepare Them for Everything. You Can Give Them a Stronger Place to Start.
Give your teenager time to discover, practice, revisit, and grow. Success-in-You isn't something they need to rush through. It's an experience they can understand differently as they grow and as life gives the lessons new meaning.
Full year: 12 months of access • Monthly: cancel anytime
Questions Parents Often Ask
A Few Things You May Be Wondering
Success-in-You for Teens was designed to be simple to begin, flexible to use, and meaningful for different teens and families.
Is Success-in-You only for teens who are struggling?
No. Success-in-You is for teens who are doing well, teens who are finding their way, and teens who may be working through challenges. Self-awareness, confidence, decision-making, responsibility, and life skills can be valuable long before a problem develops.
What ages is the course designed for?
Success-in-You for Teens is designed primarily for ages 13–19 and can be used by teens in traditional schools, homeschool environments, and other learning settings.
What will my teen actually learn?
The experience includes goal setting, self-awareness, mindset, choices and consequences, personal responsibility, purpose and direction, relationships and respect, money and budgeting, emotional awareness, family dynamics, and practical decision-making. ProScan adds personalized behavioral self-awareness.
How quickly does my teen need to complete the course?
There is no reason to rush. Success-in-You is self-paced. We encourage teens to reflect, practice what they are learning, and return to lessons as life gives those lessons new meaning.
What is the difference between monthly and full-year access?
Both options provide the complete Success-in-You experience. Monthly access is $29 per month and provides flexibility to continue month by month. “Discover Who You Are” unlocks after Month 2. Full-year access is $147 and provides 12 months of access with immediate access to “Discover Who You Are.”
How does the course approach relationships and development?
The course approaches development and relationships through respect, boundaries, emotional awareness, attraction, personal responsibility, and intentional choices. It is designed to help teenagers think more carefully about themselves and other people without turning the experience into an explicit sex-education course.
Is Success-in-You a religious course?
The core Success-in-You experience is values-based and character-focused, but it is not affiliated with a specific religion or belief system. For Christian families who would like to bring faith more intentionally into the experience, optional faith-based companion resources are available.
Does a parent need to participate?
Parents do not need to sit beside their teen for every lesson. Part of the experience is giving teenagers room to think and reflect for themselves. Family involvement can make the journey even more meaningful, however, which is why the Family Companion resources provide conversation starters, reflections, and activities without turning the experience into another parental lecture.
What about teens who learn or process differently?
Success-in-You recognizes that teenagers do not all think, learn, respond, or communicate in the same way. The experience encourages self-understanding rather than labeling or comparison. Success-in-You is a personal-growth and decision-making experience, not therapy, diagnosis, or a replacement for professional care.
What if we're interested but aren't ready to enroll?
Begin with the free Success-in-You Starting Point. It gives your family three original lessons and an opportunity to experience the approach before deciding what comes next.
