Product Description

Turning Passions Into Profits provides specific techniques for rapidly closing the gap between where you are today and where you'd like to be tomorrow. In this book, Christopher Howard teaches powerful, innovative tools for modeling and replicating the ultimate success of some of the world's greatest leaders and billionaires. With the ability to select and incorporate some of the traits, strategies, thought patterns, and behaviors of those already achieving results, individuals can plot a course and arrive at a chosen destination quicker than they ever thought possible. It provides concrete tools and strategies to fully understand the governing principles outstanding achievers use to realize their vision.
In addition, Turning Passions Into Profits supplies exercises to apply these communication and leadership tools to master these skills-ultimately gaining career, financial, and personal success.

From the Inside Flap

What invisible boundaries come between people and their dreams?

Isn't the playing field the same for everyone?

How can ordinary people break away from the pack?

Why do some people enjoy phenomenal success in everything they do?

In Turning Passions into Profits, Chris Howard, a leading authority on personal influence and effectiveness, helps readers break through boundaries to achieve wealth and power. He gives eye-opening insight into the playing field and the rules of the game of life, and provides innovative techniques and concrete tools for expanding the playing field, rewriting the rules, and winning the game.

Each individual's personal rule book is based on learned behavior and personal experiences that shape his or her perspectives. Turning Passions into Profits helps readers recognize and overcome their stifling, self-imposed rules and limitations and move toward a more fulfilling and rewarding future.

"Change your focus and take charge of your life" is Howard's mantra. He provides actionable techniques to get readers on the fast track from today's frustrating status quo to tomorrow's infinite possibilities. This inspiring, empowering book includes thought-provoking exercises to complete and strategies to incorporate into every facet of life, including Creation Technologies, modeling, Strategic Visioning, building teams and rapport, and communicating with power. Readers learn about six hallmarks of powerful communications that influence people and special techniques to inspire confidence.

For years, Howard has studied the lives and characteristics of a diverse group of people, some from quite ordinary backgrounds, who became extraordinarily successful, including Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Oprah Winfrey, and Nelson Mandela. He zeroes in on common characteristics and shares his insight to help readers learn from and emulate the strategies of the masters.

Turning Passions into Profits is part practical, part philosophical, and all-powerful. It's not a one-time read; it's a lifetime reference for those who want to quickly close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOOLS TO LIVE YOUR PASSION, August 26, 2005
By T. Livengood (Redondo Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Turning Passions Into Profits: Three Steps to Wealth and Power (Hardcover)
I am a huge fan of personal growth, my library is full of how-to books, and "Turn Passions Into Profits: Three Steps to Wealth and Power" by Christopher Howard is the cream de la cream.

Chris has taken what other people have presented for years, dating back to Napoleon Hill's famous book "Think & Grow Rich", and presented it clearly and with the latest innovative strategies. Chris uses powerful tools for seizing control of your own attitudes and behaviors to produce wealth on every level. In the book Chris uses a fairly new science, a study of the mind known as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which is the psychology of achievement thru interpersonal communication.

Chris has an amazing ability to inspire people to think differently about themselves and the world around them, enabling them to pursue dreams and ambitions that they previously never thought possible.

In "Turn Passions Into Profits" he reveals in detail of how the rich and famous build massive wealth. Chris shows mind maps for people like Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump and Richard Branson. Mind mapping is a brilliant tool to create and deepen new neurological connections and crystallize your new found knowledge in both your conscious and unconscious mind. Chris then teaches you how to create your Mind Map in a way that is so clear and simple to understand.

This is not another course in positive thinking; it is a secret road map to abundance, both financial and personal. You can easily, with the tools in this book, seize control of your own attitudes and behaviors to produce wealth on every level of your life.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Harold Thurman Whitman, Philosopher and Theologian

This book is the perfect means to find out what makes you come alive and then gives you the tools to go do it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, Motivational, Complicated, Useful., September 19, 2005
By Jean B. Sawadogo "Book Review" (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Turning Passions Into Profits: Three Steps to Wealth and Power (Hardcover)
Turning Passions Into Profits was a great read, informative and substantive. Step 1 and Step 2 are great! The exercises and application to successful people was a plus. A drawback is the too much detail and somehow complicated categorization and "proprietary" processes that would take quite a few years for a 'creative type'non logical brain to master. Overall, the book was enlightenning, motivational and was worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative Ideas, July 27, 2005
This review is from: Turning Passions Into Profits: Three Steps to Wealth and Power (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book. I would especially recommend it for those who might not be the happiest with their jobs. Christopher thinks straight, talks straight, and offers a lot of new and constructive ideas to improve your life and prioritize your goals.

It is easy to read and tough to put down. I highly recommend.
