Success = The Cycle of Self Empowerment

It's been some time since I read, The Cycle of Self Empowerment but I can still clearly remember many of the inspiring stories and step by step tips that Dom shared in this excellent book. I have read a number of self help books and Dom's book covered so many aspects of becoming a success: a success as a person and a success in achieving one's professional goals. Dom has traveled extensively and as a result has had many life experiences to learn from. I especially like how Dom takes the first third of his book giving example after example of many successful and even famous business people who didn't succeed in their chosen profession the first or even second time they tried. He then shares how these same individuals persevered and because of their desire to succeed coupled with what they learned from not succeeding they went on to became very successful people and business owners. This book is easy to read, clear to understand and above all very inspirational. Success is preparation meets opportunity. For those interested in preparing for success then you will want to take the opportunity to read, The Cycle of Self Empowerment!

Simple things that count ...

This book really is different from any other sort of motivational book I've read before. It definitely can change your life; it states all those "simple things that count" - without sounding "too serious". It is entertaining but still very "deep"; the reader immediately feels that the wisdom contained in here comes from true everyday-life situations and personal experiences of the author. It just doesn't read like all the other publications in that genre - and you feel that there don't have to be any magic skills to improve your life. Getting this tremendous insight in Dom's choices and reactions to the way life sometimes is - this is just marvellous. By the time you've finished this book you will definitely wish to change your life and add all this knowledge and incredible strength to your personality. For me this is a "must have" item!

This is the self-growth book to get

Having a psych. degree, I've read tons of self-growth and motivational books and authored several articles (and presented empirical research at an international conference in '96), but I have to say that this book stands out and is among the best. A lot of these types of books are the same; however, Famularo's book stands out. First of all, it is not only motivational and enlightening, but it is entertaining as well and has powerful stories. Imagine reading a great story, but at the same time being inspired, while learning so many useful, easy-to-apply concepts that can vastly enhance the quality of your life. And, at the same time, becoming aware of things you might never had before, or awakened to things that is truly in your desire. This is what the "Cycle" book is like, as you learn the amazing story of a man who made a decision to follow his passion, committing to stay on track. And in doing so, he took notes on how he did it -- how he overcame the obstacles, how he created win-win situations for all involved -- and then he consolidated his ideas that brought him on the successful journey, while doing what he loves in life. You also learn about history, philosophy, and psychology! This books is about "real" and "true" success -- following and developing what is really you -- from your true center -- fulfilling your real purpose/dharma -- This book is NOT about following a career you hate, making money to impress people you'll never know, then years later realizing that many aspects of yourself is left empty and wanting -- while you're filled with self-regret. Famularo has a tremendous ability to "hit" the reader on a deep level that really makes an impact -- not a temporary thought or transient, fleeting feeling -- but a real lasting impact. When reading this book, sometimes you will just want to get up and start right away, as you are suddenly hit with the realization of things that you really want in life, and that NOW is the time. Before I read the book, I was often in a purposeless "rut" in the financial world, stuck in the mundane routine that a lot of us are in. But the book opened me up and I became aware that life is short, our passions are real -- and they are to be nurtured and shared -- which fulfills both ourselves and everyone. This is our "eternal flame" that just doesn't go away! So nurture it! My awareness coupled with applying some of the books concepts brought me to face challenges and experience reward -- Now "in my element", I began to inspire and reach others through my writing, performing, teaching, and in everyday conversation and action. I began building a business also. Why? Because I began from the center of my onion, my flame, where my real passion, talent and purpose lies; and Famularo's book is about finding and nurturing this power within. I look forward to using more of the concepts since my life changed drastically by applying some of them. This book is a must read, and written by an author

The Courage to Be Everything You Can Be!

Dom Famularo packs in passion, commitment, energy, intelligence, and inspiration into everything he does! There is no place for anything less in this dynamo's life and we may benefit from that. He BELIEVES you are capable of anything you set your mind and commit to and he shares how this is possible in "The Cycle of Self Empowerment." I was fortunate to have met Dom two years ago at the Montreal Drumfest and he's made such an impact in my life as well as my partner, Karl's life. He invests time in people...people he's known for 5 minutes or for 20 years. He cares and he listens and motivates you to become the incredible person you can be. I have seen him talk to groups of 30-1000 people and his charisma, depth and wisdom stir the audience's hearts so much so that people surround him afterwards to talk to him AND he makes time for everyone. His patience and compassion are incomparable. And do you know what else? What you see is what you get!! What he has written in this book and what he says on stage is WHO HE REALLY IS. I guarantee if you read this book you will think of life with a different perspective and want to improve yourself and become an even better you. Thanks Dom!

Excellent and inspirational

The Cycle of Self-Empowerment is not only useful, but it is highly entertaining (unlike many self-help books). You can apply the lessons in this book to all aspects of your life... I have! All in all this is one of the most enjoyable, useful, and inspiring motivational books out there.
