As a non-business major and/or professional, this was the book I'd say, for those who needed to figure out what to do to push for results on their own in their own business. For me, it was education. I wanted to know what was the appropriate mindset to push into as a freelancer and/or innovative educator. While not everything in the book is applicable for Taiwan's society, I subconsciously modified and took what I needed from the book. It has helped me immensely and I have no doubt it will for those who are willing to read it. Cheers and let's keep reading!
Push yourself and push again even harder if you truly want the brass ring. Out push the competition. Harvey in his 90 short chapters shows you how to avoid making the common mistakes most people make. Harvey sprinkles MacKay's Moral messages throughout the read i.e. " Ideas without action are like being all dressed up with no place to go".
