Soar
. . . If You Dare®
10 Secrets for Success in Business
and in Life
Each of these secrets is built around an illustrated and memorable metaphor
that makes it easy to remember the concept and keep it top of mind. For
example, The Anacondas in Life is a chapter that deals with negative
people and circumstances that can crush your dreams and hold you back from
success.
Jim uses great stories and examples to bring each concept to life and make
the entire book an easy and enjoyable read.
Each of the 10 chapters is divided into mini sections with short summaries
of tips and reminders throughout.
This is the first edition hardback version of this book published in 1993. We have a limited supply of these books and when they are sold we will have no more first editions to sell. The book was revised and republished in a soft back version and was reprinted many times. The book is now being updated for an even newer soft cover release and we expect this newer version to be available near the end of 2008.
