Customer Reviews:
I couldn't believe how useful the information is!.......2007-07-21
Steven K. Scott has put together a no nonsense book that will help you be more successful in life, careers, relationships and more. I am so pumped by the information I ordered the companion workbook and journal to begin my transformation. Scott is part life coach, career coach, therapist and motivational speaker. The best part is he is truly successful from using the techniques he teaches. He did not just making his money writing books and tapes. Ever heard of the Total Gym? His company markets it.
Leadership and Goal setting at its finest.......2007-03-07
This book will help you set a goal and follow through on that goal. Mr. Scott teaches the sucessful way of creating a goal and then breaking it down to the minor details of achieveing that goal. Out of this world. He could sell high dollar seminars on this very subject. If you are self employed this book has the potential to double or triple your business in the first year. Alignments are stressed in this book and have really opened my eyes to whom I am parterened with in business. Steven Scott hit a home run on this book!
One of the "success" books that actually delivers specific strategies that you can use.......2007-01-20
This is the earlier version of another book that had more fluff plus 2 more recent projects, one which he sells for well over 100 dollars.
Learn the basics here.
I have realized that he writes his books to wet your appetite for the higher priced courses, the best value being a cd series you can buy (do a search for his name if you want it)
Having said that I think he does a better job of revealing his strategies in this version than he does in the next, more recent book, where he basically says much of the same over again.
Here you will find ways to improve your business or personal life. What I did find most profound was the fact that I actually use some of these strategies before I knew of this material, and they really do work.
You will learn such things has how to properly utilize and handle criticism (hard for many entreprenuers), as well as improve professional and personal relationships by understanding others points of view, and how to get others to listen and understand you as well. I can tell you that these strategies to translate well into the professional life of an entrepreneur.
It touches on 15 different strategies to help you change your life:
1.)Reprogramming Your On-Board Computer (getting rid of damaging self-concepts)
2.)Overcoming Fear of Failure
3.)Turning Criticism from Foe to Friend
4.)Gaining a Clear and Precise Vision
5.)Overcoming Your Lack of Know-How
6.)Overcoming Your Lack of Resources
7.)Achieving Infinitely More in a Fraction of the Time
8.)Dreaming and Achieving Impossible Dreams
9.)Recruiting the Partners and Mentors of Your Dreams
10.)Igniting the Engine of Positiveness
11.)Effectively and Persuasively Communicating
12.)Acquiring the Discipline of Winning Most of the Time
13.)Taking Control of Your Life, One Minute at a Time
14.)Acquiring the Fuel of Passion
15.)Flipping the Switch
While I do feel that there is a bit of a over self flattering in all his materials there are some valueable lessons here for those that don't want to spend 80 to hundreds of dollars for his higher priced courses
Especially at this low price point on amazon, having said all this, it really is a deal, with some great tips with actual *real* strategies (that work) to help you rather than some rah rah book designed to just pump you up.
Great Resource.......2007-01-17
My husband and I believe that The Simple Steps to Impossible Dreams is one of the best motivational books we have ever read. We were able to identify our weaknesses, it makes us aware how negative our subconscious were and we were able to set our goals for 2007. What gives this book the exceptional quality is the road map.
I truly believe if these steps are followed, it will truly change our lives personally and financially.
This book is really really bad.......2006-12-20
Don't waste your money or your time. This is an infomercial salesman's book. Read: "How to be Rich" by J. Paul Getty instead.

Customer Reviews:
Working Without Power.......2001-04-09
I find all Tom lambert's books well written, relevant and practical. This is no exception. If you want to really understand and practise ethical, influencing skills this is the book for you. If power corrupts, influence gets the right things done at the right time. No one who takes leadership seriously should be without this book.
A Serious Look At What It Takes To Be Persuasive.......1997-09-03
Written in a text-book style, "The Power of Influence" is an educated look at the psychology of persuasion. You will find out how to listen and deal with difficult people and situations, use body language effectively and show empathy, use verbal language to your advantage, and use power effectively. A workbook at the end enables you to practice specific skills.
This book uses numerous examples from the sales profession, but the concepts can be applied to other work environments. It is more a discussion of psychology than an intensive, skill-building handbook for those wanting to develop people skills at work. Although it is a dry, wordy, difficult read, I would recommend it for sales professionals and for the student or teacher interested in the psychology of influence.
For further reading on controlling your own circle of influence, I would highly recommend any of Stephen Covey's inspirational books, such as "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", "First Things First", and "Principle-Centered Leadership"

Book Description
People skills have become the basic tools with which the contemporary manager carries out his or her organizational responsibilities; while computerized robots are learning to make products, managers are learning to develop employees' potential. This invaluable resource provides concise guidelines for good manager-employee communication, along with a number of practical assessments, checklists, and worksheets designed to be used to increase the quality of feedback. This book can also be used by consultants, teachers, and other human resources personnel to maximize the effectiveness of communication. Reprinted by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Product Description
Renowned playwright George Bernard Shaw once said "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." By this definition, some of today's entrepreneurs are decidedly unreasonable--and have even been dubbed crazy. Yet as John Elkington and Pamela Hartigan argue in The Power of Unreasonable People, our very future may hinge on their work.
Through vivid stories, the authors identify the highly unconventional entrepreneurs who are solving some of the world's most pressing economic, social, and environmental problems. They also show how these pioneers are disrupting existing industries, value chains, and business models--and in the process creating fast-growing markets around the world.
By understanding these entrepreneurs' mindsets and strategies, you gain vital insights into future market opportunities for your own organization. Providing a first-hand, on-the-ground look at a new breed of entrepreneur, this book reveals how apparently unreasonable innovators have built their enterprises, how their work will shape risks and opportunities in the coming years, and what tomorrow's leaders can learn from them.
Start investing in, partnering with, and learning from these world-shaping change agents, and you position yourself to not only survive but also thrive in the new business landscape they're helping to define.

Book Description
Measuring the masses of galaxies as a function of redshift is perhaps one of the most challenging open issues in current astronomical research. The evolution of the baryonic and dark matter components of galaxies is not only a critical test of the hierarchical formation paradigm, but ultimately also provides new clues on the complex interplay between star formation, the cooling and heating of gas and galaxy merging processes.
This book reviews current techniques to measure the baryonic (stellar) and dark masses of nearby galaxies, and focusses on ongoing attempts to measure these same quantities in galaxies at higher and higher redshifts. It also gives room to future perspectives, with special emphasis on new survey projects and satellite missions.
