Success is within reach… But, how do you get there? What if you could get realistic and practical tips from successful entrepreneurs and thought leaders? Imagine waking up every morning surrounded by greatness and inspired by the best words from the top performers of the world. For decades, Evan Carmichael researched the deepest wisdom from hundreds of elite entrepreneurs and celebrities. He curated the best content and created The Top 10 Rules Series on his YouTube channel. Using 40 of these legends, Evan compiled 400 excerpts, and whittled them down into The Top 10 most popular and impactful rules. They’re motivation for your heart and application for your life. The Top 10 Rules for Success isn’t simply a book you read cover-to-cover, but a daily action plan filled with practical tips and motivational prompts. This book will help you #Believe in yourself, your abilities, and your dreams. From Steve Jobs to Tony Robbins to Oprah Winfrey, life-changing wisdom calls to you from every page. If you’re looking for a simple read, motivation for days, and effective steps, then this book is for you. Open it up, pick a page, and see for yourself.
My personal rating: 4.5/5 ⭐️ I have been an avid follower of Evan’s YouTube videos. His tremendous efforts in research on multiple people who have tasted success and then put it all in a platter, that’s easily accessible - is by all means laudable. It is not an overstatement if I decide to say that this book could be read daily for rest of your life to make it meaningful. With this book, you get the opportunity to get into heads of distinct leaders/titans/entrepreneurs to know their inputs on what could be 10 rules to achieve our maximum potential, both in life and business. Precisely, that is what makes this book distinct. Instead of a theory based design (like most of the self help books do), this book tends to get right to the point, nuanced with just the key rules to follow rather than providing wide length examples and scenarios to prove that they really help. In my opinion, we need more of these straight-to-point self help books, avoiding repetitive examples being thrown at us. If you are already familiar with the author’s YouTube videos, you know how tremendous his work is. For years now, I have made it a practice to watch his videos (which are short and precise again) first thing in the morning and I will not be exaggerating if I say, it has a huge impact on how rest of the day gets unfolded for me. Imagine, getting that kind of an impact out of a book. I am confident enough to say that this book is a must read for all these aspiring to make their life different.
This is an interesting book on the qualities that the very, very successful possess/develop to be the successes in their field that they are. It's interesting to see how many of these qualities/beliefs overlap from one person to another, but with their own take on it. It's also reassuring to hear from those who have been there and done it, to see not only what they did, but how they were thinking.
I must admit, I did get a bit bored halfway through as I felt that it was a bit repetitive. However, it does encourage a positive approach which is what it is meant too.
