8 To Be Great
The 8 traits that lead to great success
Richard St. John   |  September 5, 2008  

By Reg Nordman

This book is a delight! Very easy to read, chock full of quotes from 100s of successful people. The book was sparked by a little girl asking the author - ” So how do you get successful?” He spent several years interviewing those considered successful and most of them gave him something like the eight traits.

The eight traits are:
  • Passion
  • Work
  • Focus
  • Push
  • Ideas
  • Improve
  • Serve
  • Persist
A book to inspire and help you get to where you are destined to go to! I packed it around for a few weeks, reading and rereading sections. To some people this could be a life changing book. Very well done. Lots of Canadian references as well.
