More About the Author

"Describing Jeff Davidson is not an easy undertaking. Some people think of him as a human dynamo who accomplishes more in a day than many people get done in a week, while still finding time to stay in shape, spend time with his daughter, and keenly pursue a wide variety of intellectual interests. Some people regard him as the best there is at offering new perspectives and fresh solutions to information overload and the resulting time pressure and life balance problems people face today.
Many people know Jeff as the author of 36 books, several of which have been on the curriculum at George Washington University, Duke University, and the University of Connecticut and have been translated into Japanese, Chinese, French, Polish, Czech, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Hebrew, and Italian. Countless others have seen or heard him on a talk show. While some people know him as president of the Carolina Speaker's Association, others recognize him for the long-term contributions he has made to public television. Members of his audiences know him as a high-content, high-energy speaker who delivers compelling, riveting presentations.
Jeff has spoken on 14 cruises and visited 45 countries in the process. [He once was besieged by three wild dogs on the Spanish Island of Minorca, only to be rescued by a man wearing a broad-rimmed hat and carrying a stick!] He has shared the spotlight on magazine covers with Tony Robbins and Dr. Wayne Dyer. His speeches have been featured on seven occasions in Vital Speeches of the Day along with the likes of Dr. Henry Kissinger, Lee Iacocca, George Bush (senior), William Bennett, Michael Eisner, and Alan Greenspan.
As a five-time state winner of the United States Small Business Administration's Media Advocate of the Year Award, Jeff has published more than 3,450 articles on the topics of entrepreneurship, management and marketing effectiveness, and life balance in nearly every type of magazine, journal, and newsletter. He has been featured in 68 of the top 75 newspapers in America, based on circulation, including USA Today, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune.
More recently, Jeff Davidson became a founding faculty member of MentorU.com. In one year. he devised 18 online training programs for MentorU, as well as another 24 programs for other online training vendors. He has attracted clients such as America Online, NationsBank, Swissotel, IBM, American Express, Westinghouse, and more than 500 other leading organizations and associations."

5.0 out of 5 stars Goals VS. Wishes, November 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Reaching Your Goals (Paperback)
This book starts off with a distinction of the difference between wishes and goals. That doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's important, because too many people probably "wish upon a star" and then really have no plan as to how to make their wishes come true. This book is insightful while at the same time quite witty. That makes it easy to read compared to other things I've read on the same topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book got me on track FAST!, November 25, 1998
By 
Tom Antion (Lanham, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Reaching Your Goals (Paperback)
I've had tons of goals in my life, but it always seems to take me a long time to make them happen because I always get sidetracked. This book gave me concise and easily usable tips to keep me on track. I finished a project in two weeks that I've been thinking about for the past year. This book is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Advice on Reaching Your Goals, October 6, 2002
By 
Stefanie Gilman (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Reaching Your Goals (Paperback)
This book is well worth the price but more than that it is well worth the time it takes to read it. My time is very valuable to me. I don't like to read a book and discover that I already know three-quarters of the contents. The material in this book is fresh and potent. It appears as if the author undertook a lot of original research. Rather than rehash tired old clichés about setting goals and rather than sighting frequently used antidotes he went down a new path, offering considerably new material that, from my perspective is right on target.
