Customer Reviews

Inspirational story that leaves you knowing you can too!

I've seen Ephren speak numerous times on the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour ([...]) and his story is one of those that hits you as being so unbelievable and yet so down to earth all at once! He has accomplished so much and yet has such a humble, realistic outlook on life that he is totally relatable and inspirational. There is a lot to be learned from Ephren Taylor and his shared experiences can help us all achieve more in our lives while serving the callings we feel within our hearts!

A definitive work on the new definition of success!

Taylor and Brantley offer a cross-generational look at what success is. Traditionally it has been all about money. However, Taylor is at the cutting-edge of the new movement emphasizing corporate responsibility and individuals need to help other people. While the book certainly offers alot in becoming financially successful; including an innovative real estate program, how to start a business, and plenty of other strong advice from the young millionaire. I was most impressed with the refreshing holistic look on success. Great analogies like the "Dark Hall of Fear" are used to challenge the reader to rethink their approach in life. Very strong book, I highly recommend.

I needed the motivation!

Even seasoned entrepreneurs with tons of success in the business world need motivation from time to time. Ephren Taylor's book "Creating Success from the Inside Out" provided that for me at a critical time in my life. As I struggle with complacency, laziness or even being over confident in my abilities, there are times when I need a good "kick in the pants" and this book provided that for me. Mr. Taylor is not only savvy in his words, but his personal stories of success work to motivate the reader in a dynamic way. I believe that many people will be inspired once they read this book. I have personally recommended it to several friends whose lives will undoubtedly be changed for the better.

A way to discover your personal motivation.

I truly loved reading this book it was not only inspirational but insightful. In a world full of excuses this book comes as a true breath of fresh air. At certain points in my reading I wanted to jump out the chair and jot down every idea that has every crossed my mind. This book provoked thoughts of actualization and reality. To realize that you can actually be who you desire to be and achieve every goal by simply focusing both your energy and passion. I feel Mr. Taylor nailed it directly on the head. We need to shed out insecurities and excuses and just simply make it happen. I would recommend this book to everyone, whether you have reached your goals or not. To be honest, even if you have reached some of your goals, please believe you have let someone talk you out of a few, or maybe you talked yourself of reaching your full potential.
