This review is from: Bright Ideas for a Better Life (Paperback)

Ever wonder how some people can be so organized, motivated, and successful? Wonder no more! The author's words of wisdom (which really boil down to plain common sense and perserverance) will inspire you to reach attainable goals. The author was very influenced by her family, so this book makes great reading from a personal aspect, as well.

This is an excellent guideline for those goals you want to achieve in the new millenium. It has a step by step guide for just about any aspect of your life you want to get in order....be it personal, financial, spiritual....Using this book as a guideline makes just about any goal you have previously seen as out of reach seem very reachable....all you have to add is the desire to do so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for anyone!, January 5, 2000
