W. Clement Stone (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 3, 1980

What do you want most out of life? Recognition? Money? Health? Happiness? Prestige? Love? All of these things and more can be yours if you follow just a few simple rules and put to work a revolutionary new formula. Very little separates you from success. There is small difference between you and the great people of history. Most of them achieved their greatness not because of great intellect, but because they used the latent power within them to drive themselves up to the top. And you can do it too! How successful you are -- in any of your desires -- is simply a matter of the right mental attitude and using the easy-to-follow principles in this book. Within these pages is an amazing new concept that shows how success can be reduced to a formula -- to a system that never fails. As you read this book something wonderful will begin to happen: you will acquire new knowledge... gain experience... become inspired. Soon you will recognize the ingredients for success. You will wonder why you have let life hold back these riches from you. But they will be held back no longer. Soon you will be enjoying them to the fullest. Now you will be able to judge your abilities and the powerful potential within you. Now you will see how the right mental attitude will develop your own individual success system. Now you will learn how to use that success system to obtain the true riches of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1 Good Reason to Read Is It NEVER Fails, May 26, 2005

This review is from: The Success System That Never Fails (Paperback)

If W. Clement Stone lived for over 100 years I am willing to accept that the principles of this book have worked far longer than I have had time to experience. But one year from now I will be able to testify that I have successfully seen all the successes of practicing these principles and all the failures of not practicing them as well for over twenty years.

W. Clement Stone & I attended the same High School but during different times and I'm sure that in my days of living on the North side of Chicago that I actually walked across some of the same sidewalks and pathways that he traveled. I experienced seeing the insurance empire he created in Combined Insurance. Many days I walked passed this building as a Senn High School student but it was not until I read his book "The Success System That Never Fails" ten years after I graduated from High School that I realized how much W. Clement Stone had an amazing mind.

So when I recommend this book to you it is not just out of having read it but also out of having seen with my own eyes some of the communities and some of the lives W. Clement Stone touched.

This is a great book written with valuable easy to read illustrations that move the heart and inspire the emotions. If you want to learn how to experience future abundance and the fact that it takes less work to succeed than to fail you've just considered the right book for you.

Learning how to use the power of the will while developing the true understanding of know-how has brought me huge benefits and it all came from this book. Some other real powerful things you will learn from this book are:

How to Get a Person to Listen to You.
Using Positive Statements.
Taking Inventory of Yourself.
Developing a Time Recorder.
Doing The Right Thing.
Learning From The Experience of Others.
It's Never to Late to Learn.
Enthusiasim Attracts.
A Blueprint For Success
If You Want Something, Go For It.

Well this is only a few of the things that you will learn from a man who set a goal to live for 100 years and achieved it. Now it's your time to succeed, it's your time to experience greatness and truly consider the real truth that you too like W.Clement Stone were born for great things. Don't take my word for it read the book today.

5.0 out of 5 stars I worked for W. Clement Stone, September 20, 2003

By 

Gary S. Friedman (Miami, Fl) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Success System That Never Fails (Hardcover)

Back in the 1960's after college I was lucky enough to land a job working for Mr. Stone out of his office at 5050 N. Broadway in Chicago. His PMA was an inspiration to me. I read his book over and over and applied his principles of Positive Mental Attitude. I believed and achieved my short and long range goals. Currently I am semi retired living the good life in Miami, Fl. and enjoying my days in the sun. I was sad to learn of his passing at the age of 100 recently. I owe a lot to Mr. Stone, Mr. Nightengale and Mr. Napolean Hill. His success system never fails if followed properly.

This review is from: Success System That Never Fails: Success System That Never Fails (Paperback)

If you are a salesman or trying to accomplish a difficult goal, this book is worth reading. W. Clement Stone, who later teamed up with Napoleon Hill to write Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, is quite a success story. Starting from nothing, he was ultimately worth over 500 million dollars. His is a story of persistence and enthusiasm, and much of this book is autobiographical -- the story of how Stone did it -- and he goes into specific detail. It is an enjoyable read. I am the author of the book Self-Help Stuff That Works, and I am an expert on what works and what doesn't. This book will effectively motivate you and increase your determination to succeed. And that, my friend, makes a big difference!
