It's never too late

I'm 26, and finding a lot of parallels with this book & myself. I'm only 50 pages into it, and already feeling even more inspired about what I'm doing & where I'm headed. The suggestions & advice contained in it couldn't be any closer to the truth.Excellent book. I would highly recommend this to ANYONE with a dream to do great things!

Must read...

I'm 22 years old and I wish I had this book ten years ago, this is a clear guide through the obstacles we all face at some point, and you feel as if you have a friend there with you the whole time!

It's About Time..

WOW..How refreshing to read a book whose time is long overdue...Where was this book when I was in high school or college? I just learned more from Jennifer & Scott's book about practical tips for success then I did in 4 years of college classes. I feel like I can better market myself for success with their advice and I am confident now that I can fulfill all of my professional goals. Thanks for giving me a push in the right direction. This book should be required reading for anyone in school as it has valuable life lessons that could do America's students a world of good...Thanks for writing a book that encourages our generation to get off our butts and create our own amazing reality. I am pumped up now from reading the book and am going to tell all of my friends that they must check it out for themselves..

A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WITH AMBITION

I just finished reading the book and even with my MBA I was amazed that I hadn't tried several of Ms. Kushell's methods for meeting important people before. She writes with style and experience. This book definitely will pay for itself!

A First Class Guide to Getting Ahead

Three words for the young and the restless: buy this book! More than a squishy feel-good book, this is a hands on guide to getting ahead and making smart decisions in your life. Jennifer Kushell and Scott Kaufman have put together the first book I have seen that goes beyond the superficial level of getting you motivated, and tells you step-by-step how to prioritize your goals and then make them happen. Put simply, this book has substance. It contains profiles of real people who have achieved success - not just celebrities and overnight successes, but people with whom you can relate. It is as if the authors methodically distilled the ideas and actions that made these people successful and broke it down to a formula readers can use in their own lives. They also give you a peak into their own lives, and the lives of their friends, making their experiences feel accessible to the reader.My twenty-something friends will be receiving this book as birthday gifts, and this will be my number one graduation gift this year for high school and college seniors.
