I have read this book twice, have given several copies as gifts, and hear myself quoting from it on occasion. It's amazing how the success stories of others can inspire us to realize our own dreams. This is a perfect gift for graduates, Mother's Day and Father's Day, and award presentations for any business-minded person. I especially like the practical lessons that Mr. Elliott draws from the real-life experiences of people like Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Andy Griffith, Mary Kay, and Martin Luther King, Jr. We all need heros and role models like these.

I highly recommend this very interesting book of stories of success and inspiration. There is a one-page story for each day of the year. These stories provide interesting facts about successful Americans as well as information on how they became successful. Each story ends with a comment concerning how it can be applied to your own life. It is a very good book!

this is a great book and it also gives you wonderful tips on how to keep your dreams alive i love it - the future art marketer

Well written. Easy to read. Instructional and uplifting collection of stories about people who achieved success in and for America.

Each story focuses on one person. Most are 750 words or less. All are concise and to the point. Well researched, as motivational as any I've read, the stories speak to vision, accountability, responsibility, faith and many other essential values traditionally associated with the essence of real American Success. I reread the stories whenever I begin to doubt what makes this country and its people great.

In my humble opinion, every US citizen will benefit from these stories. More so now than at other times in our past, our citizenry seems confused about what's beneath the covers of true success: Vision, hard work, attention to detail and a fundamental understanding that if it's to be it's up to me!

As bonus to some - stories from the book come with QuickVerse Deluxe software. Its daily devotional feature allows you to schedule the stories as an automated pop-up when you launch QuickVerse.

Highly recommended!
