What if all the time you were climbing the "ladder of success," it was leaning against the wrong wall? Three things are always true about the price anyone pays for success: it is always personal, always costly and never negotiable. This book features an 8-step pattern for achieving success and explains 5 critical skills practiced by successful people. Outlines practical ways to create success patterns that are can be duplicated predictably and repeatedly, rather than having incidental or accidental success. Explains how to include team members in success planning -- motivating them to understand their "prize" and be willing to pay their own "price."
