Success! The Magic Word. The Holy Grail. The American Dream. Who has not admired the titans of sport, business, entertainment, or public service and been stirred to set course by those stars?

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Chicken Soup for the Soul of Success!, June 3, 2004

By	Darrell Ross (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews

Once I picked up Masters of Success it was difficult to put it down.

What I found most refreshing about this book is that each submission puts a unique spin on a common theme - how to be successful. Like the "Chicken Soup" series - the book is moving and, an entertaining and very valuable read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Success is not just a dream, May 12, 2004

By	Sam Schwartz (USA) - See all my reviews

Reading the book gives one hope that success is not just a wish or dream, that it can be real.

Success means different things to different people and the book captured this message. In our society, more often than not, success is measured only by the $ sign. This book gives us a more meaningful explanation of what success is all about. Success comes from unexpected areas of life and the book has lots of examples illustrating this.

I will read this book over and ever and as I grow I will be able to gain a new perspective every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coaching by the Masters, June 7, 2004

By	Brian Diver (Everett, WA United States) - See all my reviews

What a great read! Easy to sit down and read many stories at a time, in a variety of areas from personal growth to business.
The best part is the combined effort of MANY business professionals, sharing success stories that everyone can easily understand and actually apply these lessons to their own life and business.
