DESCRIPTION:
In an honest, direct, and engaging way, these role models describe the obstacles they faced, the setbacks they endured, and the vital lessons they learned. They dispense not only essential and practical career advice, but also priceless wisdom applicable to life in general. In Getting There, thirty leaders in diverse fields share their secrets to navigating the rocky road to the top. The path to success is rarely easy or direct, and good mentors are hard to find. Getting There is for everyone—from students contemplating their futures to the vast majority of us facing challenges or seeking to reach our potential.
The "mentors" ive been looking around for. Before buying this book, ive been saying to myself that i needed a mentor; im going no where, my job is great but i need an extra push. After reading the whole book, im like "Wow, im gonna read this again". No one individual is the same yet, most of us; if not all share similar struggles but in different forms. Its a story of over coming obstacles and embrace the moment when sh*t hits the fan.. Great book for all business people book filled with stories of the most successful people on the planet! Each story of each person is a few pages, filled with their back rround, struggles and their success perfect for anyone who started a business, thinking of change or needs some encouragement that they will get to their dreams. rkamchatka said Five Stars. Very inspirational, worth the read!
"Successful people make it look so easy—but they never said it was. In Getting There, the highest achievers share some of their lowest moments, and there is much wisdom to be gained from those struggles. Captivating, thought-provoking, humorous, and uplifting, this book delivers straight-from-the-source accounts of what it is really like to achieve something meaningful."
