5.0 out of 5 stars The ICON--The KING OF NETWORK MARKETING!, May 27, 2002

By A Customer

Incredible story of a son of a sheep herder, born in a charity ward with a harelip, dropped out of school in the 8th grade and went on to overcome every obstacle possible to create a $300,000,000 company starting with only $5,000 in under five years.He was the keynote speaker at Notre Dame and the Harvard Business School and was named "American of the Year" in 1972 for helping thousands of handicapped people achieve success.Glen Turner had over 1 millio distributors in his 78 worldwide corporations. In a three year period of time, he helped to create over 600 millionaires who would had never been given an opportunity without the principles taught in Dare to Be Great and his network marketing opportunity which offered superior products at a fair price.This was the easy part. Surviving the success was the hard part. The government spent over 20 years and millions of tax payer dollars trying to discredit him. Mr Turner successfully defeated over 1,100 attempts to destroy his credibility but finally was defeated i Arizona and was sentenced to 4 years and 8 months.But like Paul in the Bible who served 13 years, instead of serving time, he made time serve him. Mr. Turner contiued his philosphy of helping and encouraging others and was not about to let any man or government destroy his positive attitude and his love for service and dedication. He became better, not bitter. Today this true and patriotic man represents the greatest rags to riches to ruin to recovery stories of all time!Turner, Turner, Turner is an exciting, motivating, inspiring book that will make you laugh and make you cry. This is a must own in your personal development library.

5.0 out of 5 stars The unstoppable American Hero, May 2, 2002

By	[e-mail] D.GUMPY (USA) - See all my reviews

Glen Turner is living proof that you can be ten feet tall and bullet proof--totally unstoppable and a modern day American Hero.Mr. Turner developed a network marketing organization in excess of a million distributors, 600 became millionaires back in the 70's.This book brought back many fond memories of the 'old days' with Koscot and most importantly, Turners super training program that was and still is unsurpassed. Also, I have fond memories of Mr. Turner and the caring he had for his people.I agree with the reader who said that if Glen Turner started a new company, I would jump on board in minute. I've tried the rest, Glen is the best.If you are in any network marketing company, this book is a must read. This book motivates, inspires and instructs...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!, June 22, 2002

By	Dwayne Kimbrell (USA) - See all my reviews

This book by the great Glenn W. Turner is 46 chapters and 326 pages and a joy to read.

Most of the book is his autobiography. We learn that GWT was the son of a sheepherder, born a charity ward.

We learn that Glenn W. Turner is deformed with a harelip and rops out of grade school in the 9th grade because of poor grades and constant harrassment by his schoolmates who enjoy making fun of his speech impediment.

We then learn that Glen W. Turner, while working on the farm prays to God to show him the way to success and then promises to share the secrets with the masses.

Turner gets off to a slow start selling sewing machines but then discovers Network Marketing and positive mind books, most notably, 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napolean Hill.

The metamorhisis begins. Turner turns into a supercharged salesman and even beats the great Zig Ziglar in a sales contest.

Dissatisfied with the company he is with, Turner starts his own MLM company selling cosmetics with a unique ingredient--mink oil. He calls it Koscot and creates a second company called "Dare to Be Great', which includes positive mind tapes, seminars and sales schools. Turners company explodes into a multi-national conglomerate encompassing 78 companies. Distributors explode to over a million and revenues explode to over $300,000,000 in under fuve years.

This is in spite of the fact that the government is on his back, every second of every day during the whole five years.

Then we learn of the abuse of power of the government at that time and find that Turner gets stripped of his wealth, reputation, his companies even his family.

Turner, Turner, Turner is one of the greatest rags to riches to ruin to recovery stories of all time. It will inspire you, motivate you and even make you a little angry of the corruption that exists in this great nation.

You will learn of Turners five steps to total lifepower. You will learn of Turners philosophy and perhaps for the first time, you will learn of the kindness inside this man who was named 'American of the Year' in 1972 for helping more handicapped people than any other employer in his state, possibly in the entire country.

Turner, Turner, Turner is an excellent book and a must read for anyone. I also recommened CASHFLOW Quadrant, Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the SALES BIBLE.
