The only career self-help book I've ever liked
I'm not much of a believer in career self-help books. I find most of them to be full of the same old "wisdom," poorly written, and/or so out of touch with what it's like to be a real human being that they are virtually useless. This book is different. It's packed with new ideas, compelling examples, and practical advice on reaching your goals. It's a book with substance and style--one that I'll be recommending to friends and associates again and again. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book.

Coaching wisdom from one of the best!
For those coaches, executives and entrepreneurs who are looking for a new perspective on achieving success, I have good news--Fortgang's new book, Take Yourself To The Top is full of smart, edgy coaching for those who date to take full responsibility for their success.
Fortgang's challenge: "If you are willling to take charge of your career like never before, if you're prepared to be responsible for the choices you make and you have the guts to have it all, then get ready to take yourself to the top."
Coaches and clients alike will benefit from the wit and wisdom found in Take Yourself to the Top. Some of what you'll learn includes:
* How to acheive the elusive gift of self-discipliine.
* Identify and overcome obstacles that keep you from reaching your goals.
* Get what you want AND want what you have.
* Give up the "survival mode mentality".
* Create quality relationships that can rocket you to the top
Take Yourself to the Top fills a void in the traditional career/business success advice by providing "Coaching wisdom" from one of the best! For those folks interested in building a successful business, I'll leave you with a piece of advice from Laura Berman Fortgang:
"Wait for a miracle and it will never come. Take responsibility and you'll invite a miracle!

Vastly disappointing - a trite waste of time
I read Amazon's excerpt and a couple of recommendations I thought I could trust before buying this book. It's worthless, obvious, hype-yourself-up, tired "advice." I resent that it is not worth the cost of shipping to return this book to Amazon, because I would otherwise do so. It doesn't rate space in my collection of thousands, nor would I give it as a gift to anyone I wanted to keep as a friend. I don't believe it would be of any actual harm, but I wouldn't want to waste their time. I'm donating the book - perhaps it might help someone who has lived such a stunted life they don't already know this stuff. Similar Products
