 The Greatest Secret to Business Success
Sam Silverstein
What if you could grow your business 200%, 300%, or even 400% this year? The lesson taught in this book and easy to follow work sheets will help you do just that. This is possibly the most powerful business achievement book available. The book is based on what Sam describes as the worst day of his life. "I had just come out of a meeting with my banker. While in that meeting, I along with my partners signed over everything we owned as collateral for our business loans. We had lost almost 3 million dollars, and the bank wanted our possessions as security. 730 days later we walked out of a different kind of meeting. It was a closing in our attorney's office. We had turned our company around. What led to this turnaround? It all went back to a lunch meeting I had with a respected business professional. At that lunch meeting I learned the greatest secret to business success."
