What would you rather have--conventional success or a high level
"beyond "success?
Dan Clark, one of the world's leading inspirational speakers and
leadership trainers, vehemently opposes the conventional wisdom
about success. He believes it's tragic and superficial to build our
careers and per-sonal lives around getting more money, bigger
houses, cooler toys, and fancier job titles.
What's it all worth in the end? How many out-wardly successful
people still feel empty inside?
Clark has spent decades traveling around the world, interviewing
the famous and powerful; con-sulting with presidents and generals
and sheikhs and corporate leaders; creating a multimillion-dollar
business; and (before any of the above) overcoming a paralyzing
injury. All those experiences have con-vinced him that the happiest
people in the world don't pursue success at all. Instead, they
pursue signifi-cance--and find that success comes along as part of
the package.
What's the difference between success and significance? As you'll
learn in this powerful, myth-shattering book . . . The successful
get what they want; the significant want what they get. The
successful think wealth flows to them; the significant know that
wealth flows through them, to bless those around them. The
successful earn financial independence, influence, and popularity;
the significant earn financial independence, influence, popularity,
admiration, loyalty, and respect. The successful compare themselves
against others; the significant compete only against themselves.
The successful are quickly forgotten when they die; the significant
leave a long-lasting legacy. Clark shows us how it can be done by
following his Twelve Laws of Significance, which include
counter-intuitive ideas such as "Patience is overrated--it allows
us to never begin," "It's not all about team--teams lose," and
"Don't strive for work/life balance--it's about harmony."
He illustrates his ideas with a wide range of powerful true
stories from business, education, the military, and
sports--starting with his own story of fighting his way back from a
serious injury that cut short his football career. Paralyzed both
physically and emotionally, Clark began his recovery only when he
started to focus on purpose rather than on goals; on being whole
rather than famous; on serving oth-ers rather than seeking praise.
In the long run, that accident was the greatest gift he ever
received, setting him on a lifelong path toward true significance.
Clark's wisdom will stimulate your intellect, challenge your
beliefs, and penetrate your heart. By following his Laws of
Significance, you will learn to connect your head and heart, manage
your priorities, and live an extraordinary life that matters to
your family, friends, coworkers, community, and country.
