Ever wonder about luck?
Do I have it? Why do some seem to have all the
luck?
After all the recent storms
decending upon Florida's coasts, it makes you
wonder why some areas seem luckier than others.
Here's a charming book that
is not only inspirational but has practical
guidelines with good lessons to create the conditions
for success in life and business.
Good Luck is a whimsical
fable that teaches a valuable lesson: good luck
doesn't just come your way it's up to you to
create the conditions to bring yourself good
luck.
Written by Alex Rovira and
Fernando Trķas de Bes two leading marketing
consultants - this simple tale is universally
applicable and uniquely inspirational. Good
Luck tells the touching story of two old men,
Max and Jim, who meet by chance in Centra park
fifty years after they last saw each other as
children. Max achieved great success in life;
Jim sadly did not.
The secret to Max's success
lies in a story his grandfather told him long
ago. This story within a story has a tone reminiscent
of the Classic The Alchemist and shows how to
seize opportunity and achieve success in life.
In a surprise ending, Good Luck comes full circle,
offering the reader inspiration, instruciton
and an engaging tale.
Alex Rovia and Ternando Trķas
de Bes created this inspirational book after
studing the key factors that bring good luck
to prosperous people. Their research explores
the "luck" of extraordinary people and reveals
the key factors shared by successful yet diverse
people such as Madame Curie, Alexander Graham
bell, Bill Gates and Tiger Woods. Rather than
an exhaustive study of individuals and the traits
that make them successful, Rovira and Trķas
de Bes have created an entertaining parable
that reveals the ten rules of good luck. "When
we wrote the book we were only thinking of publishing
it in Spain," explained Trīas de Bes. "this
is a country where many people like gambling
and buying lottery tickets. We are saying: "Don't
wait for good luck to come, just go and find
it." Good Luck is the first book in recent history
to sell rights in 15 languages prior to publication
in any country. Currently the book is published
in more than 65 countries and 30 languages.
There are over 1.5 million copies in print world
wide, just six months after the original publication
date of February 2004.
Interesting to note,
the book took these two authors eight hours
to write and over three years to create and
publish with of course - Good Luck. For futher
