About Success Map Media

Purpose

At Success Map Media, our purpose is simple but powerful:

To help people leave behind past failures, distractions, and limiting beliefs—and move forward with clarity, purpose, and bold faith.

We are inspired by Philippians 3:13–14, where Paul writes:

“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal...”

We equip vision-driven individuals with practical tools and biblical wisdom—so they can rediscover their calling, take intentional action, and live a life aligned with their God-given purpose.

Mission

To teach, write, and coach others using biblical principles that lead to lasting success and deep personal transformation.

Vision

To fund a legacy of giving by building a knowledge-based business rooted in Kingdom principles and powered by faith, wisdom, and purpose.

Core Values – Proven Under Pressure

Our values aren’t just beliefs. They’re tested and proven when life gets hard. Like gold refined by fire, these virtues are shaped through trials and strengthened by obedience to God’s Word.

Wisdom

We choose God’s way when fear, urgency, or confusion try to control us.

Scripture: James 1:5 | Proverbs 3:5–6 | Matthew 7:24

Peace

We rest in God’s promises when anxiety and chaos press in.

Scripture: Philippians 4:6–7 | Isaiah 26:3 | John 14:27

Kindness

We express strength through grace and gentleness, even in difficult moments.

Scripture: Ephesians 4:32 | Colossians 3:12 | Romans 12:21

Compassion

We remain tenderhearted when others grow cold, always ready to help.

Scripture: Matthew 9:36 | Luke 10:33–35 | 1 John 3:17

Generosity

We give boldly—even when fear tells us to hold back.

Scripture: Luke 6:38 | 2 Corinthians 9:6–11 | Malachi 3:10

Refining Integrity

We are being refined to reflect the integrity of Jesus—doing what is right, just, and good not only in public, but especially in private.

Even when it’s hard, hidden, or inconvenient, we pursue righteousness according to His way, not the world’s.

As we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness—His way of doing and being right—our character is shaped by truth, and our witness is strengthened through fire.

Matthew 6:33 (AMP) – “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God]...”

Proverbs 10:9 | Psalm 15:1–2 | 1 Peter 2:12

Transformation

We embrace pressure as the process God uses to refine and mature us.

Scripture: Romans 12:2 | 2 Corinthians 3:18 | 1 Peter 1:6–7

How We Grow These Values

These core values aren’t automatic—they are cultivated daily through obedience and application of God’s Word:

• We Study the Word – Joshua 1:8

• We Obey the Word – James 1:22

• We Speak the Word – Mark 11:23–24

• We Live the Word – Psalm 119:105

Together, let’s move forward with vision, faith, and transformation.

About:  Michael Erwin

With a diverse background spanning various industries and roles, I bring  experience and dedication to every endeavor I undertake. My journey began in the United States Marine Corps, where I honed my skills as an Avionics Technician, achieving notable recognition for my exceptional performance and leadership abilities. During my tenure, I rose to the rank of Sergeant (E5) in a remarkably short time, demonstrating my commitment to excellence and attention to detail.

Following my military service, I transitioned to civilian life, where I continued to pursue opportunities that allowed me to make a meaningful impact. From my role as a Surveyor with the Arkansas Highway Department to my position as a Bulk Mail Clerk and Window Clerk with the United States Postal Service, I developed a strong work ethic and a keen ability to adapt to diverse environments.

 Impacting the Nations
My career path eventually led me to the non-profit sector, where I discovered my passion for fundraising and community development. As a Development Director and Fundraiser for Serve India Ministries and All India Mission, I played a pivotal role in raising operational support for church planting organizations and medical missions. Through phone calls, emails, and personal meetings with prospective donors, I leveraged my communication skills and strategic thinking to significantly increase funding and expand the reach of these vital initiatives.

Entrepreneurial Endeavors

In addition to my fundraising efforts, I also gained valuable experience in the private sector, helping with a startup company as a Special Gifts Coordinator for Idonate.com, a subsidiary of the National Christian Foundation. In this role, I helped non-profits liquidate non-cash donations and facilitated the launch of Idonate.com, contributing to its early success and growth. Later, I had an unsuccessful attempt at starting a company that converted wood waste into heating pellets. Even though I failed, I learned a ton about how vision and mission work in building an organization.

A Life-Time Learner
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to service, leadership, and continuous learning. Whether leading a call center team, coordinating volunteers, or harvesting timber as a self-employed logger, I have approached each role with enthusiasm and dedication. My ability to adapt to new challenges, coupled with my passion for making a difference, has been the driving force behind my success in every endeavor.

Now that I am in my 60s, what is my future?
That is what this website is about. How do you overcome financial disaster in your later lives and get up every morning looking ahead and striving to do something greater? I am excited to continue leveraging my skills and experience to support causes that align with my values and contribute to positive change in the world. With a proven track record of success and a deep sense of purpose, I am eager to take on new challenges and make a meaningful impact wherever I go. There are a lot of people out there just like me who are trying to figure it all out. We can do it together!
