Your Road Map for Success: You Can Get There from Here Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The following is what I liked best:
The section on Goals
They MUST be activities that are: written, personal, specific, achievable, measurable, and time sensitive.
The Quotes:
"You can not make any progress when you are facing the wrong way." & the another one by Charles 'Tremendous' Jones who said "The only difference between the person you are today and who you will be in 5 years come from the books you read and the people you associate with."
The Benchmarking idea:
To attain success you should ONLY pick 3 to 5 areas to work on & grow in at one time.
The section on Choices:
In order to make progress it will involve 3 choices: to gain something, to lose something, or to trade something
and when you choose: pick the former rather than latter:
Achievement over affirmation
Excellence over acceptability
Personal growth over pleasure
Future potential over personal gain
Narrow focus over scattered interests
Significance over security
And finally the Laws on Developing others:
Take someone with you: "There is no success without a successor"
Rating: Strong Buy

How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"How Successful People Think" by John Maxwell is a great little book and a timely read, particularly in a day where media and others encourage us to follow our feelings almost to the exclusion of thinking.
The book covers thinking in several areas:
1. Focused thinking.
2. Creative thinking.
3. Realistic thinking.
4. Strategic thinking.
5. Possibility thinking.
6. Reflective thinking.
7. Question Popular Thinking.
8. Shared thinking.
9. Unselfish thinking (get outside yourself!).
10. Bottom-Line thinking.
Each chapter is around 10 pages and usually contains the following that applies to the area of thinking being discussed:
1. Sayings by famous people.
2. Benefits of the particular type of thinking.
3. Principles to apply to improve your thinking in that area.
This is not one of those "touchy-feely" books designed to make you feel good about yourself. If that is what you are looking for, then do not bother to read.
Instead, if you want to improve your thinking in any of several areas, then this book is for you. The narrative flows freely and contains great information to inspire and challenge you.
Read, enjoy, and be challenged. Highly recommended!
