by Scott, Steve
First published 1996
Steve Scott's career began with disaster. Nine jobs lost in six years. Supervisors who declared he would never succeed. A man so broke he couldn't pay for his child's birth. Yet Scott rebuilt himself into a multimillionaire and helped more than forty others do the same. His students included a housewife, makeup artist, hair stylist, salesman, teacher, convenience store clerk, marriage counselor, carpenter, doctor, dog trainer, and former PE teacher. Scott created over a dozen record-breaking companies across different industries, generating over one billion dollars in sales. This book traces his journey from mediocre high school student to America's top marketing entrepreneur. Each chapter concludes with specific tasks readers can apply immediately to their personal and business lives. Scott provides concrete steps rather than abstract theories, targeting everyone from high school students to Fortune 500 CEOs.
