If you're interested in being as successful as you can, study those who have already made it.

That's what Bill Boggs did in order to unlock the secrets to success. He's a four-time Emmy Award winning TV host and the author of "Got What It Takes? Successful People Reveal How They Made It to the Top."

He says his book is a combination of US Weekly and a self-help book. He was able to get people like actress Renée Zellweger, mogul Richard Branson and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson to share the ways they overcame obstacles and made it to the top. He tells Growing Bolder that some consistent themes emerged as he began to study successful people.

They are lessons Bill has taken to heart in his own career. He's done everything from hosting championship boxing on Showtime to hosting a game show on CBS to anchoring on New York's WNBC.

Along the way, he's interviewed nearly 6,000 people, including some of the top performers and entertainers of all time. He said the experiences have enriched his life in ways he never imagined. Find out what lessons you can learn from the world's most successful people.
