BOOK OF THE MONTH
Personal success ebook provides mobile motivation
By Steve Niles
In 1905 Albert Einstein received a doctorate from the University of Zurich for a theoretical dissertation on the dimensions of molecules. He also published three theoretical papers that proved instrumental to the development of modern physics. Among these papers, Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity. This is, of course, just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the staggering work Einstein managed to achieve in his lifetime. Few probably would have guessed such great things would come from a boy who didn't speak until he was four years old or read until he was seven. In fact, the Zurich Polytechnic refused to admit Einstein because he "showed no promise."
Albert Einstein is just one of the examples Paul Hayden gives of individuals who overcame great odds to reach fantastic goals in The Personal Success Pocketbook from Pocketmanager.com at http://www.pocketmanager.com/product.jsp?product_id=-536011967. The Personal Success Pocketbook is yet another valuable ebook you can keep close at hand on your Palm handheld computer.
The success cycle
The Personal Success Pocketbook is designed to be used as a workbook and reference book. Hayden provides a series of exercises you can work through that will help you to define what success means to you. Then, once you know what it is you need to do to feel successful, Hayden guides you through the steps you need to follow in order to achieve success. He'll take you through the success cycle of planning, taking action, receiving feedback, and learning from the feedback.
Above and beyond these tangible exercises, however, Hayden's words, along with a liberal selection of inspirational quotes from a variety of philosophical thinkers ranging from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Wayne Gretzky, serve to act as a call to action, a much needed kick in the pants, designed to jump start your flagging psyche. As Johnny Bench is quoted as saying, "Slumps are like a soft bed. They're easy to get into and hard to get out of."
Having The Personal Success Pocketbook stored on your Palm device is like having a motivational speaker in your pocket. Any time you're feeling as though you aren't living up to your fullest potential, you can refer to Hayden's powerful ebook for the inspiration you need to set goals, take risks, and steer your wagon towards the stars.
Chapter by chapter
In chapter one, "Planning," Hayden explains that your definition of success will naturally be different from the definitions of others. You have to undertake a process of self-discovery to determine just what your definition of success is. The first step in this process is answering the question, "Where am I now?" As Hayden says, "With a clearer idea of where you are now, you can start defining where you want to be." Once your idea of success is defined, you can begin to assess the risks involved in pursuing it and your commitment to the task. Finally, you need to set goals, and these goals must be measurable.
