About Rethink Success
In this transformative book, bestselling author Olufunmilola Johnson redefines submission as a divine principle that forges harmony and unlocks true leadership. Inspired by reactions to her earlier work, Must I Submit? (2005), she dismantles long-held misconceptions by exploring how submission—in marriage, family, church, the workplace, and society—is not oppression, but a liberating path to freedom and power. Through six insightful chapters, Johnson reveals how yielding wisely can overcome pride, fear, and past wounds, laying the foundation for lasting influence and thriving relationships.
Whether you resist submission or have experienced its power, this book will shift your thinking, mend strained connections, and align you with God’s design for a life of impact. True success begins when we yield wisely. Submission isn’t weakness—it’s the path to success, influence, and greatness.

This is not just a book!!! It’s a masterclass in Spirit-led leadership and Christlike influence.

It is a rare and profound experience to encounter a book that does more than convey information—it catalyzes transformation. Dr. Funmi Johnson’s Rethink Success is one such work. She is not merely a communicator of truth, but a woman who embodies it with unwavering integrity and courage. As a trusted mentor, her approach is marked by a deep burden for liberating truth and a consistent willingness to challenge entrenched stereotypes—not for the sake of provocation, but in the pursuit of understanding the “why” and the “how.”

It can be viewed as a manual for couples who are navigating the tricky subject of submission (in love) and the need for mutual respect. It could also be viewed as an HR (human resources) manual, advising people about the importance of a reciprocal act of submission, influence, and better appreciating that authority need not be oppressive. For personal relationships, it’s a reminder to treat people as you wish to be treated and accorded. The book proves to be quite balanced material.
