Don't Just Dream About Success: Stack the Odds in Your Favor: Don't Just Dream About Success: Stack the Odds in Your Favor

Success is not the province of a chosen few. Success is available to every person willing to plan, think, and work. Award-winning college professor Joe Hoyle has spent 43 years in the classroom seeking to guide and motivate thousands of students to succeed. He shares those same practical ideas here as he introduces innovative concepts such as Level-3 goals, the Derek Jeter Rule, Joe s Theorem for Success, and the Ebenezer Scrooge Question. As he states in the final chapter, Success should become like breathing, something we do every moment as a natural part of life. Written in a readable conversational style that is part storytelling and part autobiography, the book begins with the amazing tale of a student who sets out to be the youngest person in the world to climb the 7 Sisters, the highest peak on each of the seven continents. Fourteen chapters later, Professor Hoyle ends with the four words most essential to us as we seek to stack the odds of success in our favor. In-between, he describes numerous techniques such as the use of mental visualization and the choice of a personality model that readers can use to create an overall success philosophy that will help them achieve those goals that matter most to them.
