Stephanie
Wilde, founder of The Success Journey, hails originally
from Medford, Massachusetts. She attended Immaculate
Conception Grammar School and Girls Catholic High in
Malden, then graduated from Medford High.
Books
and melodic music, such as "Faraway Places," and "Don't
Fence Me In," were her dream themes. Reading before
she started school, Wilde finished Gone With the Wind
at age 10, making the grownups pay more attention to
what they left lying around.

She
got her first Library card the Tuesday after she turned 6.
Her first job was in that same Library, where she became acquainted
with geology, astronomy, fantasy, and then Science Fiction.
She was writing poetry early on and was class poet at her
graduation.
Writing
assignments were not work, but fun. She was Managing Editor
of her High School magazine, The Little Giant, and Class Poet
at graduation. Though she tried other venues for work through
the years, she was constantly drawn back to writing and publishing,
finally ending up as a tech writer and web designer.
Wilde
learned to fly, and for awhile wrote for the 99's news; she
also became a commercial pilot and flight instructor.
In the late '70s, she gave in to the Faraway-Places dream
and began working as a "road shopper" doing tech writing contracts
around the country. She has frequently driven "to the ridge
where the West commences" and back.
In
the early 80s, she took some human potential classes, which
introduced her to the concept that you are in charge of your
own life. This added a new kind of writing, motivational and
self help, as well as workshops on self-help subjects such
as Goal Setting, Resume Writing, and Interviewing and other
good stuff.
