Synopsis

This text focuses on achieving success in business and in life. The author has observed that many people with a great deal of talent fall flat on their faces, while people who appear to be less talented become extremely successful. Why are some people successful and others are not? What motivates a person to become and remain a success? After analysing many people in action, the author has come up with five characteristics common to all of them: they have a dream; they have a plan; they know how to get more done in a day; they build relationships with others; and they don't accept failure. The book concludes that you can't be successful without a plan, and that one of the most important parts of that plan is having the time to implement it. Tips and strategies are offered for becoming successful no matter what your goals are, and the author shows you how to get back in touch with your dreams and gives you the tools you need to achieve them.
