Simple Steps to Impossible Dreams by Steve Scott (1998, Hardcover)

I bought this book because I had just read Steven Scott's, The Richest Man Who Ever Lived, and because I believed that any man who could fail as much as Steven Scott did and then achieve the level of success he attained just might have something to teach me.

This book contains the 15 power secrets of the world's most successful people. Who, you ask, has applied these steps and achieved success? Good question and the answer is...Stephen Spielberg, Lee Iacocca, Kathie Lee Gifford, Jane Fonda, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and many more. If your first thought was - "That's great but I'm not them" - then this book is a must read for you.

The real question you should ask is, "How do these dream achievers fulfill their dreams? The good new is it's not a mystery; it's an art they have learned."

That's worth repeating...it is an art they have learned! What we all need to realize is we are all created equal. What - how can you say that? It does not matter what your race, age, education level, religious preference, or any other thing that may have affected your life. Here is why I know we are all equal:

1) We all have 24-hours in a day - no more and no less - everyone has the exact same 24 hours.

2) We all have the ability to choose how we use those 24 hours. You can choose to spend yours watching TV, reading your favorite novel, playing sports or you can choose to make your dreams come true.

I think it was Walt Disney who said, "A dream is a wish your heart makes."

Here is a question - If you were told your most incredible dreams can come true, what would be your first thought? Stop right now and answer that one question. OK read on.

I would be willing to bet that for most of us our answer was something like...

"I don't believe you!"
"Give me a break!'
"What dreams?"
"I can't even make ends meet...much less achieve my dreams."
"You don't know my situation."
"I'm too old."
"I'm too young."

Get a copy of this book and Steven Scott will make you two promises:

1) If you read this book, and let these skills and techniques simply remain on the pages and never incorporate them into your life...whatever you achieve in your life will only be a tiny fraction of what you could have achieved.

2) If you read this book, learn the few skills that Steven will show you, and begin to practice them in your daily routine...you will begin to dream bigger dreams and achieve more of those dreams than you would ever have imagined possible.

In this book you will read about people like Gene Orowitz who was raised in Collingswood, NJ. He was a bedwetter into his adolescence. Was told by his mother he would never amount to anything. Graduated 299th out of 301 in his high school class. You probably know him better as Michael Landon.

Then there is the 120 pound high school kid who played in the band. He was too small to play sports. In a good semester he was a C-minus student. He never dated anyone in high school. He was completely unknown to most of his fellow students and teachers. Everyone knows him today...Stephen Spielberg.

Here a just a few of the people who saw their dreams come true after working with Steven Scott:

1) A struggling makeup artist who dreamed of creating her own line of cosmetics...Victoria Jackson

2) A weight-loss expert who dreamed of helping discouraged overweight people lose their excess weight...Richard Simmons

Yes - dreams do come true if you know how to make them come true!
