W. Clement Stone
In his book, Believe and Achieve, author W. Clement Stone teaches us how to reach our goals and be successful in all that we do. Although many of the examples used throughout this book are dated, the concepts and processes are timeless and proven.
I recommend this book to anyone who is serious about achieving goals and becoming successful in their endeavors and are "wiling to pay the price" to achieve what you want in life.
Use a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), follow the 17 Principles of Success, and make the necessary sacrifices to learn and practice the art of motivation. Stone says, "Do It Now!" I agree. Do it and achieve what you believe.
