Are you having a hard time looking for motivation to launch a business? Build Relationships? Or restore your life? This book is ideally designed for you.

How To Be Successful by M. Curtis McCoy provides comprehensive advice on becoming successful in your distinguished endeavours. It is divided into 27 remarkable chapters, containing inspirational stories, interviews, and testimonies about getting up after falling. The book commenced with the chapter What Is Your Excuse? Where he met a man riding in a Ferrari, who you never thought would go through a bankruptcy, being homeless and left by a wife. The man recounted his story on how he recovered despite having almost nothing. While people like him were able to do it, what’s your excuse for not pursuing your goals then?

Primarily, this book aims to provide and develop ideas that will encourage its readers to establish a mindset and philosophies about success. The author added that this is not limited to financial prosperity but also to attain a balanced and enjoyable life. Because of that, this book includes building quality friendships, improving attitude, and what you’d be going to prepare even if you're at the peak of success. Therefore, this doesn’t only deal with being an entrepreneur but also becoming the best version of yourself.

The main idea is practicing resiliency, and it was what I appreciated about this book. As I read through the chapters, the book was suggestive about not getting troubled with the difficulties. This vision has become the common denominator of several interviews and testimonies, even the author himself, McCoy. Furthermore, I have learned failure happens only when you give up. That instance, where you flunked, flopped, or fell was just part of the process and it grooms you to be ready. Hence, success can happen countless times as much as you want to, while failure happens only once you give up.

It is 4 out of 4 stars. There’s nothing that I can justly complain of from the book. There were no evident grammatical errors, and I have no problem with its length. Thus the perfect rating. I recommend this to all readers, especially self-help book lovers. This guide will give you holistic approaches to achieving a quality state of living. Open yourselves with these ideas, although this is a self-help book, the results will be unguaranteed unless you cooperate and learn for yourself. It doesn’t have complicated words, so it's easier to understand.

I believe M. Curtis McCoy is admirably qualified to write this book. He’s an entrepreneur who has suffered illnesses since his childhood. He was able to overcome those through maintaining the unshakable faith; to God, to the people around him, and himself. I realized that when your intentions are genuine and clean, the universe will respond accordingly.

Interesting quote at the end. A nice, relaxing and motivational read it seems. I would like to get my hands on this. I wonder if the author is a descendant of the famous McCoys. Nice review.

Thank you for your meaningful review. Looks like this book will serve well as an example for those who want to give up, and as a guide for those who refuse to give up.
