The Success Factor
What comes to mind when you think of the word "success"? Some people associate success with having degrees from respected colleges or universities. For others, success means having a six-figure income and being able to afford a fancy house and car. Still, others believe that they have attained success once they have reached the highest level in their career. In her fifth anthology, The Success Factor, Cheryl Polote-Williamson brings together 12 authors who share their journeys of their personal and professional paths and how they cultivated their own definitions of success. Through these stories, each author demonstrates that while education, money, and professional achievement can certainly play a role, true success goes deeper than material possessions and accomplishments; and that every journey is unique--no two people's road to prosperity will be exactly alike. After reading this book, you will walk away feeling inspired to grow your business and power through any obstacles you may encounter along the way.
