"Very, very highly recommend this UNIQUE book, it is the best book regarding how to be successful that I have ever read." - Daisy S., TOP 10 AMAZON HALL OF FAME REVIEWER "The power of his intuitions is infectious." - Grady Harp, TOP 50 AMAZON HALL OF FAME REVIEWER "This is one of those books where you will want to underline something important on each page. This is one of the most important books I have read in 2013." - Rebecca of Amazon, TOP 100 AMAZON HALL OF FAME REVIEWER AMAZON BESTSELLER. Think about this: With all of the success books out there, why don't we have more successful people? Too many success books simply rehash conventional wisdom. The truly great success books, such as "Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich", instead enable life-changing success breakthroughs because they identify and describe in powerful detail the thinking patterns and principles of the world's most successful individuals. Let's start at the beginning with a simple truth. Success is hard. Very hard. Very very very very hard. We all know that, once we have had a little bit of experience and are honest with ourselves. We all want to be more successful, but let's face it, sometimes we just don't know how. It's because, as they say, "we don't know what we don't know". So we make the same mistakes over and over again (often without fully realizing it until later). And then we blame ourselves (or others) in regard to why things didn't turn out as we had hoped, or planned.
