Straight A's Never Made Anybody Rich

What's your definition of success? In this warm and wise book, Wess Roberts, bestselling author of Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun, accepts neither fame nor fortune as a sign of success. Rather, he tells us, what really matters is how well we measure up to our own individual talents and abilities. This one-of-a-kind book will open your eyes. What's the first step to finding success? From an early age, we're besieged by performance evaluations based on comparisons with others. Stop comparing yourself. With so many different paths leading to personal achievement, such an idea is not only useless, it works against success. Each chapter of this book details illuminating stories of real achievers and shows you how to break through the false barriers and report-card mentality that are holding you back. Learn how to: conquer fear, overcome weaknesses, avoid false pride, prepare for problems, bounce back from failure, eliminate greed and envy, learn from experience, set realistic goals, share your talents, start triumphing, and so much more.
