In 1971 Eleanor Jacobs was an ordinary woman. Recently divorced, she had a high school diploma, car trouble, and a dead-end job. Then one sleepless night she began going through all the dissatisfactions in her life. Slowly and methodically she came up with a ten-point program to help her fulfill her dreams. She practiced her program in secret, first trying it out on small goals, then on the life plan that got her where she is today, Director of the Santa Clara County Office for the United Way, overseeing a staff of fifty and a budget of $21.5 million. Using her "ten pearls of wisdom", you can learn how to set specific goals and achieve them, whether it is establishing the habits of professional success, creating the personal life you have always wanted, rising to meet difficult challenges, or putting an end to self-destructive behavior. In setting out her program, Jacobs shuns abstract notions and instead illustrates each step of the way with stories of those whose lives have been changed by her "ten pearls".

This review is from: Ten Pearls of Wisdom: Achieving Your Goals & Capturing Your Dreams (Hardcover)
Believe is the first and probaly the most important pearl in the book. The ten pearls is the perfect program to keep you focused towards your goal and dreams. But!! A goal without a plan is still a dream and thats the key factor in this book. Start out planning smaller goals,then take it to bigger ones. I read this book it 2 hours. Then re-read it. Then I wrote the pearls in my pocket pad and read them everyday and focus on each pearl for at least 5 minutes.
