Characteristics of Successful People

About the Book

I was always intrigued by the question: Why are some people successful in life while others just can’t get it right, even if they are from the same background. I have researched this phenomenan over many years, and now I believe I have a fairly accurate  list of the characteristics of successful people. As this book is meant for the man in the street, I have written it in layman’s terms and I used examples and humor to bring the points across. Furthermore, I attempted to show how to learn the characteristics of successful people in order for the reader to internalize the principles and become successful himself.
