Review of How To Be Successful
[Following is a volunteer review of "How To Be Successful" by M. Curtis McCoy.]
So why haven't we achieved success yet? Perhaps we misplaced the map or got side-tracked by something else? I wondered whether I was the person who prayed for the lottery to come their way but never bought a ticket.
The book How To Be Successful: Think Like A Leader by M. Curtis McCoy combined life lessons that apply to business, relationships, and all other facets of being truly successful with the conversations he had with various people in the following chapters. This book on self-improvement may end up remaining the one you highlight the most because it had so many memorable and quotable nuggets of wisdom. He hopes this book will encourage you to pursue greatness, inspire you to never surrender, and encourage you to recognize your goals. McCoy shares dialogues about achievement and personal development with other leaders and businesspeople. He discussed what he did for personal growth, spiritual health, and what constitutes success for him. He interviewed the US Navy SEAL sniper, Connie Wyatt (CMO of Best Cellular and his mom), Paul B. Watson (Lead Pastor of Downtown Vineyard Church), and five other very successful people.
The author recounts various instances of genuine people who, while appearing to be shining examples of adversity, ended up being extraordinary success stories. What differentiates exceptional achievers, he wonders? His response is that we focus very much on what successful individuals are like and not enough on where they come from, which includes their unique experiences growing up. Like, how after getting a divorce and financially losing everything, an anonymous guy was now successful because he did not let some failures control his future. McCoy also discussed his weakness of trusting people quickly, which gave him a critical loss in business, and talked about how to protect ourselves from them, something we all experience at least once in our lives.
I summarise the main takeaways from this book: success depends on you and other elements, most of which are beyond your control. Yet, the only thing completely under your control regarding success is the amount of work you put out. Additionally, the more work you put in, the more probable it is that you will succeed. They are directly correlated, and we should all value labor as the fundamental element that precisely defines humanity. Whether we admit it to ourselves, we all attempt to do what the title suggests, just like everyone else.
I rate How To Be Successful: Think Like A Leader at 4 out of 4 stars. This is an exceptionally well-written book and consists of only 185 pages. The author has given so many people perspectives on how they can become successful. This book helps examine your previous actions, potential future actions, and potential changes. It's a soft-spoken kind of book with lots of heart-warming illustrations. Examples that persuade you to believe that if they can achieve it, you most certainly can too. Take it at your own pace; there is no requirement that you complete all 25 steps at once. Just be persistent.
What can I say, really? Refer to this book; it will change your life. Well, maybe not life-changing, but still enjoyable. Even if you never purchase self-help or academic books, this one is worth reading.
