Fiona Harrold is well known and rightly so for her very positive outlook on life. Her books so far have concentrated on Life Coaching and, though very good, have not been based on much research. This book is different. Here she has carried out extensive research and gone and interviewed people from a variety of backgrounds who, in varied ways, are successful.
In seven main chapters, she outlines rules for success, and gives exemplars. The rules are not, in themselves, earth-shattering, but that does not make them easy to apply, at least not consistently. My favourite is "Do more", and the chapter that accompanies it is full of examples and inspirations to do just that.
Fiona Harrold does not use just one definition of success, and is certainly not addicted to money as a marker of all that is worthwhile (one of her examples is Peter Tatchell who, whether you like him or loathe him, has been a phenomenally successful human rights activist, and he lives on just £8000 a year).
There is no doubt that, if you want to make your mark in your own way on your chosen field, this book will inspire you. Like all of Fiona Harrold's books, this is one to dip into again and again.
Altogether excellent, and worth every penny.

I've read 2 of Fiona Harrold's books before and I was looking forward to reading this one, however I found this to be a disapointing read. I didn't find this as life affirming and practical as her other books.
There was little new material and lots of comments like 'life is not a dress rehearsal' and 'you are never too old to change your life'. Good enough advice but these are ideas which have been around for decades, possibly centuries.
Another gripe was that it had a self congratulatory tone which I found offputting. Although there were chapters on being generous and inspiring others it often veered into a manual for being selfish.
There were one or two inspirational stories and it was gratifying to see that success was not solely defined my financial gain. Overall though I was really disapointed by this work from someone who has previosuly written such inspiring books.

It's great when books live up to their expectations. Fiona Harrold's book did just that - it was inspirational and thought provoking. Her 7 rules of success are derived from an understanding of the driving forces of individuals that have achieved extraordinary success - often from a standing start.
What I found particularly refreshing was the concept that success is not necessarily measured by the amount of money in the bank.
Whatever the goal - financial or altrustic - Harrold suggests that there is a common formula that results in a positive outcome.
Best enjoyed by readers who are willing to really do the thinking ; applying the principles and searching questions asked throughout the book to their own situations.
Easy to read and full of inspirational real life examples, I would recommend this book for anybody who appreciates that they are not optimising their potential or feels a lack of satisfation with their current life.
