International sales guru Gerhard Gschwandtner draws upon his 30 years of experience and on the wisdom of legends from the worlds of business, sports, the military, science, and entertainment to deliver 51 concise essays that teach powerful success lessons.

LEARNING

“Set aside two hours every week for professional development. In three years you'll be far ahead of your competition.”

CASHING IN ON FAILURE

“Failure is always a bitter medicine. We can either swallow the medicine so it can release its power, or refuse to take it and fail again.”
