5.0 out of 5 stars Without Persistence, Zip Happens, June 9, 2008

By	Judith Briles "Book Buyer, Author, Reviewer" (Aurora , CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Maxwell Winston Stone Series now numbers seven--this edition could have been called The Failure Factor. No one succeeds without failing--whether it's a baby first learning to walk and falling down again and again; or someone like Steve Jobs, who was booted from Apple, failed at his next venture and then came back bigger and stronger than anyone could have imagine. Today, his business savvy is cheered by shareholders and consumers alike.

Each of the books in the series stands alone; each is a gem. Author Ernie Carwile has honed in on his topic with depth and at the same time, weaves his subject with simplicity and authority. A welcome addition to the too many books that the reader has to wade through chapter after chapter until a nugget is discovered.
