Best book I've read all year

I received Susan Bulkeley Butler's book so I could interview her for an article in her hometown newspaper, The Abingdon Argus. Honestly, I didn't think it would capture my attention but I was SO wrong! This book is fantastic! I felt as though Susan was speaking to me. For so many years I've waited for things to happen to me, but as Susan says, don't wait for things to happen to you, make them happen. I can't wait to apply the principles of Become the CEO of You, Inc., to my every day life.

Roadmap to Success and Happiness

Benjamin Franklin noted that failing to prepare is preparing to fail. In her illuminating book, Susan Butler, an accomplished consultant, philanthropist, and mentor spells out some key steps one can take to prepare for and then realize success (professional and personal): first and foremost, realizing that you are the CEO of You, Inc.; creating a Vision for You, Inc.; building an advisory board/team; preparing a plan; navigating along the way; and effectively marketing You, Inc. Not only does Ms. Butler's book provide a cogent framework to prepare for and then realize success, it is also chock full of practical insights drawn from the author's own prolific career and personal accomplishments. Having benefited enormously from Susan's mentoring when I was the dean of the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management and she served as a key member of the College's advisory board, I personally can attest to the quality of her guidance. Readers of her book will be similarly well served by Susan's mentoring. I wholeheartedly recommend making Susan a member of YOUR (You, Inc.) advisory board.
