Product Description
Success. We all want it, but we often feel like we’re not getting enough. This is the book to help you identify what success is, according to your own definition, and then guide you through the core set of skills, behaviours and attributes needed to help you achieve the success you deserve. Richard Hall reveals three simple but powerful 'quick win' strategies to ensure that you are on the right track to success and that you are not letting your best opportunities pass you buy. He includes techniques for making the most of what you've got, transforming your performance, and useful tips of what to do when everything seems to be going wrong.

You will not only learn a great deal from this book but it will also thoroughly amuse and entertain you. It's written in an easy, informal style that allows an instant connection with the author's train of thought and once plugged in, you will be taken on a journey illustrated by the thoughts and deeds of some today's most revered and successful people.
It's insightful and delightful and addresses you directly with things to do and think about. I particularly liked the chapter on what to do in the first 90 days of a new job.
I had such fun reading this book that I will remain inspired. I never had that from the old manuals and "how to" books that have gone before.

I read for inspiration, for ideas and for energy. The last few weeks have been full on - travelling round delivering employment law workshops, getting ready for our book launch, restructuring the business, and of course, making sure things happen on a day to day basis. Last night I turned to Success by Richard Hall. Within minutes I was roaring with laughter; this man is so funny. It gave me a great boost. The energy, enthusiasm and vitality of Mr Hall burn the eye and prompt you to immediate action. It's pure virtual caffeine and I jumped out of bed this morning and went for a run. First time, I've had the energy to do that in ages.
Success is controversial in places. Mr Hall makes the point that to be successful (whatever that means to you) you have to work hard at it. If you want to have a successful career or make money you have to work harder than you'd think possible. He quotes from Mary Jo Jacobi, whom he describes as an amazing action woman. She says "When I hear those 30-40 somethings whingeing and whining about work-life balance I just want to smack `em". This will not sit well with those who think that it's possible to run a highly successful business on 20 hours a week (it's so not).
Highly, highly recommended for those who want to make things happen and choose the success in their life.

What a gloriously enjoyable and useful book. It made me think about what I was doing and why, it made me re-think things I do from habit, it gave me ideas, it gave me practical tips, it gave me inspiration. And on top of all that useful stuff, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it - very clever, witty and wise. And you can't ever ask for more than that. Highly recommended.
