Rock to the Top

The short, sweet book was right on target! It was everything I thought it would be and more. What honest, inspiring and interesting insight into the world of a super star DJ and all around saavy woman! Dayna Steele set the world on fire in her days of Rock and Roll in a most interesting way, follow your gut and be brave...Rock On! Best book I have read in a while!!

Excellent Advice

I've known Dayna for some time now, and even so, I never told her the story of the night Roger Glover of Deep Purple sat with me until 3am in a hotel lobby and told me everything that Dayna is telling you in this book! I was trying to make it as a woman in music business management, rock 'n roll end, and it was tough!! Thanks to Roger's great advice, I'm still able to do some good marketing and have a lot of fun ... in an entirely different area. To be succinct, everything he told me worked .. like a charm. Dayna is telling you exactly the same thing. So, I have recommended Dayna's book to all young musicians I know. Everything she tells you in there is true and dead on. Read it, read it again, and then read it again and take notes. Wait! She's already done the notes for you! I'm telling you. It's all there. Get this book. It is a must-have for anyone wanting to make it in the music business (or any other business)! Excellent.

RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE

Dayna Steele, Rock to the Top is an inspiring read, written with stories from her experience with some of the world's greatest rock stars. In addition to what it takes to rock to the top in whatever profession you have chosen, do it with passion, preparation and treat people with integrity. The book addresses how to be successful and draws you into a world of winners, of what to do and what not to do in your adventure to Rock to the Top. We are the Champions is a subtitle in the book where it's mentioned, passion gives you energy. She writes with simple to remember subtitles and stories that make the points poignant and unforgettable. I would not characterize this as self help but certainly motivational and if that doesn't intrigue you then the pictures of the stars in the back of the book will. I have read self help and always end up wondering what the writer was going through and how they actually got there, leaving me with no more answers than when I started reading. This book leaves nothing to the imagination of how to be your best and be successful at your chosen passion. What will you learn about success from the world's greatest rock star stories? Everything you need to know to find your passion and enjoy the read while you Rock to the Top.

Rockin' the self-help world!

This is a fun book filled with information that is useful in business or your personal life. The stories are all interesting, and they back up sound principles that are the cornerstone of success. Perfectly acceptable for you teenaged entrepreneur, as well. It's a quick read, and great for the business traveller with short periods of "down time" in which to read snippets. Indeed, my only complaint is that the book is too short. I wanna read more! Highly recommended!

Dayna Steele Rocks, too!

This is an enthralling story, made all the more so by Dayna's ability to write about her personal experiences and the interesting people who have done so much to influence our music, and in fact, our lives. Put this on your must read list.
