We all want to triumph in life, achieving great success, especially when our lifestyle lifts from ordinary beginnings to astonishing achievements. Here’s your chance to learn how to shift your attitude to attract opportunities and prosper. Learn to focus on what you want, rather than what you lack.

For anyone who wants to create their own story of significant possibility, you should discover your potential by drawing on the raw, real story of exceptional accomplishments by one of Australia’s most gifted entrepreneurs, lawyers and philanthropists, Hilton Misso.

At 80 years of age, Misso opens the vault on his life’s amazing attainments and the perspectives that made them possible in How to Manifest Success: 50 Lessons in Life, Leadership and Love.

Misso’s story is an inspiring one of a visionary leader, a believer in the power of community and a dedicated family man. He started with a knack for seeing opportunity where others saw limits.

Misso is best known for fundamentally transforming how Australian law firms operate. In 1989, he and his team introduced the concept of “no win, no fee” — a service that is now offered by almost all law firms in Australia and gives everyday people access to legal justice at no cost.

Misso’s journey is a testament to what can be achieved with determination, resilience and an unwavering commitment to making a difference. He draws on more than six decades of experience in business, law and investment to provide 50 practical, proven lessons for turning ambition into a victory.

He reveals a proven system — combining mindset mastery and disciplined manifestation — for realising your goals as a business leader, entrepreneur and wealth builder.

“What I have done is make the most of what I have been given and in doing so, I’ve achieved remarkable success in all areas of my life,” Misso writes. “Now I want to share how I did it so you can take your own talents, as limited or as expansive as they may be, and use them to create something extraordinary, unlock your full potential and achieve the success you deserve.

“I’ve spent 60 years in the trenches of business, first as a lawyer and then as a property developer, childcare centre operator, tech entrepreneur and in my later years, a philanthropist.”

Part-biography, part-masterclass in leadership and self-actualisation, How to Manifest Success distils half a century of hard-earned wisdom into 50 practical lessons anyone can use.

Life is about turning a “curse into a blessing”. It’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but about how you play the cards you’re dealt.

“My journey has given me a unique perspective on success — not just in business, but in every facet of my existence. It’s taken me decades to formulate my message and it’s one I am now indeed ready to share.”

Misso has found that the strategy has been absolutely effective in succeeding. He now believes he has earned his stripes and the right to reflect on those years and impart what he has learned.

“I make it my business to study success in all its facets and then use that knowledge to manifest my dreams and goals.”

He admits that making money was never his objective.

“It still isn’t. Since I was a graduate lawyer, my life’s goal has always been to ‘do good for the many, with leverage, and have impact’ in all my pursuits. And that’s what I have done.”

This book is not about theories or about following a rigid formula. It’s about learning a repeatable system built on beliefs, disciplines and daily practices. It’s a collection of real-life lessons, each one drawn from the experiences, challenges and breakthroughs lived across decades in business, law, property, philanthropy and personal growth.

These proven habits and tools help build confidence, focus and momentum in work-life integration. Here’s a chance to learn from a lifetime of wins, losses, pivots and breakthrough progress.

A high achiever’s journey does leave clues. If you’re looking for real-world proof that Misso’s principles for manifesting success work, How to Manifest Success is your roadmap. That is, if you’re ready to unlock the real secrets of success — not just in business, but in leadership, love and life!
