Alex Best thought he was on the surefire path to success–until, that is, he loses everything: his girlfriend, his dream job, his home, and, progressively, his sight.

“You are your own greatest mentor…you know what you need; go take action.”
Looking for a fresh start, Alex sells his material possessions and embarks on a yearlong trip around the world. What begins as an attempt to see the sights he’d always wanted to while he still could becomes a life-changing journey of self-discovery. As he encounters new guides in each place he visits, he receives lessons about how to realize meaningful success.

Leave your mark on the earth by finding and living out your greatest purpose.
The most beautiful sight is the masterpiece of your life that is uncovered once you remove the debris that is keeping it hidden. Join Alex on the trip of a lifetime: with Passport to Success, you, too, can expose your greatness and enjoy the fruits of living with enthusiasm and intentionality.

Art Of Entrepreneurship
$15.95Add to cartThe comprehensive guide to starting and growing your dream business.
In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author Jim Stovall shares the practical wisdom gained from his forty-year career as an award-winning entrepreneur alongside the time-tested strategies compiled by Dr. Kevin Schneider through his experience as the Director of the Stovall Center for Entrepreneurship at Oral Roberts University. Few books have offered both pragmatic, real-world examples and proven academic principles, as readers will find in The Art of Entrepreneurship. Transform your natural aptitudes, interests, and resources into a lucrative business as you discover:
*The key characteristics of an entrepreneur-and whether you possess them.
*Myths and misconceptions about entrepreneurship-it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, nor is it simply for people who want to work less and not have a boss.
*How to get started as an entrepreneur-keeping your current job as you turn your side hustle or creative idea into an empire.
*Why some entrepreneurs succeed when others struggle-it’s not about trading time for money; it’s about creating a money machine.
*The values of entrepreneurship-first and foremost, service rendered to other people.
*The path of entrepreneurship from start to finish-learning when to pull the trigger and when to pull the plug.
*How to build the dream entrepreneur team that will support you in your journey.
Entrepreneurship is both a science and an art. This book teaches both dimensions-the hard skills and the soft skills, the action steps and the mindset-so that you can seize the opportunities for entrepreneurship in your midst and turn your business idea into a successful start-up that adds value to you, your family, your community, and the larger world.

Dear Napoleon : The Living Legacy Of Napoleon Hill And Think And Grow Rich
$29.99Add to cartDiscover the success secrets of individuals who have transformed their lives by internalizing and applying Napoleon Hill’s achievement philosophy.
Have you ever read a book by an author and it immediately changed you-your outlook on life, your relationships, your personal initiative, and your ability to withstand adversity? That is the common experience of those who have read the books of Napoleon Hill, especially his seminal Think and Grow Rich. This book collects the stories of real people whose lives have been altered by the work and wisdom of Napoleon Hill. With very few exceptions, none of the people included in this book ever met Hill directly, but they entered into a timeless mentorship or mastermind relationship with him through his many publications.
When you read this book, you will gain insight into how real people translate Hill’s philosophy of success into actions that forever alter the course of their lives. From multi-millionaires to teachers, counselors to humanitarians, the individuals who share Hill’s impact on their lives prove that Hill’s success system is more than a theory; it is a powerful program of achievement with enduring real-world application. Assembled by synthesizing the collective knowledge of hundreds of the most prosperous people of his era-including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and many others-Hill’s Science of Success provides practical steps for building financial, mental, and spiritual wealth. Similarly, the people who submitted “Dear Napoleon” letters for this book do not express their theoretical understanding of Hill’s principles; rather, they candidly share their real-life experiences with the power of Napoleon Hill’s philosophy of success. Take a journey into the trials and celebrations, failures and successes, of the individuals featured in this book, and acquire a clear sense of how you can apply Hill’s success concepts to great effect.
