How do you define success?
Maybe you think success involves luck or connections. Maybe you’re convinced having lots of money or power is what success is all about. Maybe the only thing you’re sure of is that you’ll never be successful.
Authors Herb Greenberg and Patrick Sweeney want you to re-consider those preconceptions. They believe success has many definitions and follows no set path. Instead, it’s a matter of understanding exactly what success means to you, then making the most of your personal strengths to get you where you want to go.
The process won’t be easy. Succeed on Your Own Terms is not a how-to book. None of the successful people interviewed provide a magic formula, because there isn’t one. To accomplish the promise of the book’s title, you’ll have to chart a path as unique as you are. That’s the only way to Succeed on Your Own Terms.
