The strength of this book is the variety of true-life stories that clearly illustrate the key points. Jim has a rich business background and he draws on it frequently.

Jim Painter is the success guru. His insight into what separates the highly successful from ordinary performers is unique and easy to understand.

Jim is a great speaker-and he writes as well as he speaks. This is not a religious book, but I still recommend it to my congregation. His insights into success are unique and his advice is priceless.

Seldom does a book come along that is so readable and so on target. I have given copies to all my managers.

Elizabeth Martin, Director of Operations
 

Jim is an engineer but he doesn't write like one.
This is required reading for all my engineers.

The ESF formula is what I have been trying to teach my athletes over the years without knowing it. Too bad this book was not available ten years ago.
