Building Yourself
Building Yourself is an unusual and effective guide to getting the most out of
a successful life. A truly fresh approach to success, careers, and leadership.
There is no "magic pill."
Learn to Think for Yourself
Train Yourself to be Strong
Strategic Alliances
Accept the New
The Perilous Road
Guidelines You Can Really Use
The Book is Not for Everybody
But IF YOU ALREADY SEE YOURSELF AS A SUCCESS, and have a
burning desire to learn as much as you can to maximize that success, you
have before you a resource that you will use time and again, a book that
you will dog-ear, lend to your family and friends, use time and again.
A Different Sort Of Book For a Different Sort of Person
Not everybody has the ability, the desire, the drive to create lasting
wealth. But many who do are kept back because of the long years it
takes to gain the necessary knowledge, experience and perspective.
Success books, tapes and courses largely appeal to an audience that
wants a "quick-fix," a magic pill to instant riches. An audience--we
might as well be blunt--which is largely composed of "losers" and
wishful thinkers.
Success is won out there in the real world in
ten thousand different ways. You cannot bypass the learning process.
But you can accelerate it, if you learn from the experience, and the
mistakes, of others.
If you cannot think for yourself, or don't want to, please don't buy this
book. Your freedom to think for yourself is under constant attack. There
are plenty of people and institutions out there who will gladly do your
thinking for you. You don't stand a chance against them, unless you
learn to think your own thoughts, and act on them. BUILDING
YOURSELF covers this critical area in detail. You'll learn how your
attitudes are shaped by others, how they try to mold you, and how to
break free from the mold.
Because you've got to. Physical strength. Emotional strength. Accelerate
the learning curve. Learn how to maximize your energies. Learn how to
let go. BUILDING YOURSELF is crammed with action techniques for
maximizing your potential--early in your life--in every critical area of it.
You can never achieve success alone. You deal with people. Partners,
from your business associates to your spouse, can make or break you.
BUILDING YOURSELF shows you the importance of strategic
alliances. After you read it, you'll pick your friends as carefully as you
pick your enemies.
Sure, people always talk about change, but they're scared to death.
You're not. Change is your friend, your secret ally, your ticket. In
BUILDING YOURSELF, learn the why of change, the when, the how.
BUILDING YOURSELF gives you a ROAD MAP you can use to move
directly toward the wealth you so urgently want to create. DETOURS--
from self defeating attitudes to career mistakes based on lack of
information--lurk everywhere. Without a clear vision--constantly
monitored--success can be elusive, or come to you when you are too old
to really enjoy it.
A book that lays down specific guidelines on how you can orient your
life toward becoming successful and building wealth. The hard truth on
traps to avoid, skills to acquire, attitudes to develop. It's all there in
black and white, with no punches pulled.
By now, you probably realize that BUILDING YOURSELF: PUTTING
YOUR SUCCESS TOGETHER ONE PIECE AT A TIME is not an
ordinary book. Frankly, some of the concepts in the book will be
disturbing to people without vision or who can't think flexibly.
