As a fan of Miami Sound Machine I looked forward to what I thought would be a biography of the lives of Emilio and Gloria Estefan. But that's not exactly what this is. Rather, it's a self help book with every chapter built around a self help tip. That's not necessarily bad as each chapter also gives an example in his life of this philosophy. What that leaves you with is an inspirational book, not what I was looking for, but also a shortened biography that is very quick to read. The writing style is very basic and this really appears to be a case where he wrote the book with minimal help. Not that that is bad, just an observation. Overall I enjoyed the book. Not a favorite, but an excellent read with many lessons wrapped around his life story.

Endearing life story of a man who, despite the odds, created success by choosing to always focus on the positive.

The book was extremely good. He has a very easy flow to putting his thoughts to words, and explaining his success. It's a great motivational tool, and anyone who reads the book will definitely find a well drawn map to success. There is no question to why this man has achieved the level of success that he has, definitely not an easy rhythm to mimic but its is spelled out in simple English for those who are up to the task, and well... The results speak for them selves. Thank you Emilio.

I've truly enjoyed reading Emilio Estefan's book. It's not only a very interesting biography but also his own personal account of how he has succeeded in this country. He shares many of his guiding principles that he feels, have helped him reach success in his own terms. He tells us that certain habits, like being highly organized, and always being prompt, having a positive outlook, devoting yourself to your family, and planning for your future, are paramount to his success.

He explains that if you follow his example, you will have time and energy to come up with great ideas for your life and your business endeavors, what ever they might be. These disciplines, if you will, have helped him succeed in his life and business and served him well and of course, will help anyone who is willing to sacrifice, as he has.

Truly inspiring account for anyone, not only for the recent immigrants to the USA but for those who desire to better themselves and who enjoy an interesting story about one of the most successful music industry moguls and his famous and lovely wife, Gloria. I loved it!

Definitivamente tenia tiempo que un buen libro no me cautivaba,,,wow! este es maravilloso..que ejemplode vida este Señor Emilio! otra vez a regalar este libro especialmente a mis amigos jovenes para que vean que este mundo es lleno de oportunidades si en realidad estamos comprometidos con nosotros mismos!No hay excusas ni para dejar de triunfar y como tampoco lo es para BENDECIR de muchas maneras cuando estamos en la prosperidad...!

Emilio Estefan is a truly talented man, who is humble and a good example to all. His extraordinary dedication and professional character make him a great guide for anyone seeking to be successful. I believe this book is practical and inspirational.

WEPA Emilio! I thought the book was great! It's a great motivation read. I had no idea what Mr. Estefan did to get where he is but WOW. This read has taught me that we have control over one thing that is our mind/thoughts. But we need to discipline them. Also, most important is to set GOALs! We need to get out of the survival mode and get into achieving mode. Mr. Estefan I would love to work with you or for you! Just to be in the presence of GREAT! May you continue to be blessed!

I just finished reading the book and it is very motivating and inspiring. As a Cuban immigrant myself I can certainly identify with Emilio and I was surprised to read about all of the obstacles he had to overcome to get to where he is today. His is truly an American success story!!!Felicidades Emilio!
