The Laws of Lifetime Growth: Always Make Your Future
Bigger Than Your Past by Dan Sullivan and Gloria Nomura
This is a great book for a New Year - sure to inspire you to BRING
IT. Last year's recession need not continue, and in fact, I opted out
sometime last year. Apply the Laws in your life and it will be a year of
abundance. Its a quick read and well-written, one that I go back to
often to gain new insight or remind myself of past convictions. This
would also be an ideal gift for graduates. (Reviewed by
Lori Adasiewicz) |
