Riassunto

What do you want out of your one and only life? This is not your typical self-help guide to success. Beyond simply writing an easy-to-read inspirational book on how to achieve success, author and entrepreneur Merlyn Vandervort knows that success is built on experience, which undoubtedly also includes setbacks and challenges outside your control.

Make it Happen! offers readers ten rules for achieving a successful life and business. Beginning with the book’s title, the author points out that success begins with action: “If you want to be lucky in life; always be prepared, and recognize the opportunities when they are presented to you; and take advantage of them!”

Woven in among the ten practical rules for succeeding in life, the author provides stories from his personal experience, along with other entrepreneurs’ experiences, to exemplify what not to do as well as what to do.

If you only take away one really good thought or idea from this book that improves your life or your business; it will surely be worth the read. If this book inspires you to set your life on course for the destiny of your choosing; it may well be the most important book you ever read.

Having lost tens of millions of dollars in Great Recession of 2008, Vandervort knows not only how to create that kind of success, but also how to get back up again when the world and economic adversity knocks you down.

Recensione

“Vandervort notes that an unexamined life is not worth living and teaches readers how to pay attention.” Vandervort doesn’t just get the blood pumping; he gives guidance and declares that the responsibility for leading a gratifying life belongs to the reader. The overall message is to remain vigilant, be aware; few have said those words with more vehemence. Vandervort is a nuts-and-bolts man; make no excuses: you can achieve whatever it is that you want out of life, but it is up to you and only you to make it happen he says; giving up is not an option.” “A hardheaded, no-nonsense guide to living an attentive, effective life.” –KIRKUS REVIEWS

“This self-made entrepreneur offers tried-and-true advice bolstered by personal stories.” “Vandervort writes with a distinct voice; positive, honest, and forthright – and his enthusiastic, motivational personality pervades each chapter.” “Vandervort likens running a business and living life to being the captain of a ship; “consider your life a ship on a journey to your ultimate destiny,” he writes. “You are the captain of your ship, the master of your destiny.... It is up to you to stay the course and reach the destination of your choosing.” The author advises to take control and operate from a position of leadership.” Vandervort’s story is engaging. He is not afraid to share his business ups and downs with honesty. Clearly a self-made man. The Great Recession; Vandervort discusses in frank, painful detail what he went through; while the author’s personal experiences harden him to the business world, they fail to extinguish his optimism, which shines through in each chapter. His story is quite compelling and something to which many readers will be able to relate.” “Would-be business owners should find Vandervort’s positive attitude and encouraging words to be infectious.” – ForeWord Reviews - Clarion Review – Barry Silverstein
