Success is a simple thing that most people believe to be something mysterious and complicated - the reality, according to Paul Bassi, is something completely different. In the vast majority of cases, the people at the top have got there by following disciplines that open to everyone. The truth about success is that it's closer than you might think but harder work than you expect. Anyone can be successful in life - by your own definition, which is the only one that really matters - if you set yourself a central ambition and follow some fundamental principles about how it can be achieved. While the advice in this book may look primarily at business and property, the underlying themes are applicable to whatever life and career you wish to pursue. Drawing on stories from his youth, early career, family life and his current position as one of the Midlands' most prominent property investors, Paul Bassi shows how you can plan your own journey to success. It won't be easy; it won't happen overnight; and it won't come without making sacrifices. But if you want it badly enough and are prepared to be disciplined and relentless in your approach, it is all perfectly possible. This book will show you exactly what it takes.
