Successful people understand that time is money and focusing on their goals is the first step in achieving them. Another important asset is finding a mentor. What a great surprise to know you not only have access to a mentor but you can carry it in your pocket.

With the fast-paced world of today, no one wants to forage through pages of descriptions of upcoming tips about success. They want something they can remember without checking the Index. This is what this book is all about -- quick tips to follow and easy to memorize. The author has done their homework, adding strong visuals images and supporting data. That is a secret to success on its own, being able to visualize your goals to maintain focus.

One tip is Tip 29, describing how one man attempted to start a successful business more than 34 times, before finding someone who could believe in him and help finance his next venture. Failure is a part of learning and rare is the entrepreneur who doesn't have a list of "failed" businesses behind them. Failure is a tool of learning and necessary in many careers to help forge the final thriving business.

Included is an Arrison, 1998, study that says you are six times more likely to predict how someone will perform in any task by watching how they behave in their current assignment. Of course, background and job history is important, but observation will play an important part of your final decision.

With 100 tips to guide you, this is a powerful ally in helping you build your own success and I heartily recommend it.
