Take the Stairs

Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success by Rory Vaden

Vaden's premise is that to be successful you do it in a focused, disciplined manner. He urges the reader to avoid "quick fixes" and work hard to reach goals.

From my perspective, this book was all just common sense. His 7 steps are: sacrifice, commitment, focus, integrity, schedule, faith and action. Again, all common sense. A lot of talking about how these steps help you become successful. In some cases I actually disagreed with the author.

The book was OK. I didn't find it groundbreaking or particularly motivational, but perhaps for a young person, just building a career it might be more applicable.
