The combination of Hogan, Lakhani & Marti cuts right through all the noise and fluff. If you want to move on with your career, your business or your life these clearly laid out 12 factors will do it. Knowing and having worked with Hogan & Lakhani, the content has been tested, evaluated and it works. They also make it very clear that these factors work as long as you do. Willing to make a difference? Get this book and get to work! The plan is laid out very clearly and concisely, all you have to do is act!

There is lot of wisdom in this book. This book does a great job of breaking down the factors that everyone who wants to be more "successful" in anything has to adhere to.
I am a long time student of excellence and am always looking for a business or self-help type of book that focuses on values and character traits like Self-discipline, self-control and resilience. This is that type of book. Too many trendy books promise you the big lie...that you can be wealthy and successful without effort by thinking the right way.
Those books are criminal.
Find and hone your strengths, mitigate your weaknesses and practice on developing your character. This bring success.
Get this book!

While I'm not generally drawn to business books, I am such a big fan of Mollie Marti's work that The 12 Factors of Business Success was an automatic must-read for me. While well-versed in business experience and applications, the principles of Mollie's work are so universal that it is easy to see their relevance to all areas of life. While I may not consider myself a business person per se, I nonetheless am able to apply these same principles to my life as a writer and Pilates/yoga teacher, as well as to my personal life. I can honestly tell you that my life is better and I am a better person for having known Mollie Marti. I hope you enjoy getting to know her through her book.
I have now just finished reading The 12 Factors of Business Success for the second time and my copy is now colorfully adorned with bright yellow post-it notes and plenty of "notes to self" in the margins. In each of the twelve chapters I found insightful discussions of the challenges that stand between many people and their dreams - and many of these are challenges I face almost daily as a writer! These discussions were followed by clear and thorough presentations of concepts and skills designed to help the reader navigate those same challenges. And the motivating, inspiring tone of the writing makes you feel as if the three authors, all highly accomplished and successful individuals, are speaking to you personally and directly. This makes the information enjoyable to read and easy to understand.
I've already begun to incorporate the principles learned from this book into my strategy for completing my own book. I've also begun to weave these same lessons into the mind/body teaching that I do in order that my clients are better able to realize their dreams of improved fitness and healthier lifestyles. Finally, as a soon-to-be-first-time-mother, I paid particularly close attention to how these principles will help me to be a better parent. There was a wealth of information that has helped me to think about how I will teach my child the values necessary for living an authentic and fulfilling life (special kudos and thanks to the authors for the moving personal accounts of parenting shared in the final chapter).
I strongly recommend this book and hope it is as helpful to you as it as been for me in the ongoing "business" of living my best life.

A checklist for SUCCESS! September 17, 2008

A Checklist for SUCCESS!
What a gem. Thank you to these 3 powerful success trainers who took the time to share their research - and personal experience - on what it truly takes to make it the business world. They are not afraid to say that ACTION is key. If you want to get things done, live the life you want, accomplish your goals, and create success (however you define it), you need to take smart, consistent action.
This book puts together the backdrop for the action - the dreaming, the game plan, the passion and all other important concepts - and then it continually brings you right back to taking the first action step, and then the next one. Each answer to their clients' questions includes "Action Steps That Work". It's a checklist for success that is staying front and center in my business and life success library.
You get a sense that these authors have not only "been there, done it" but have seen it all in their years of researching, consulting and helping others on the path to success. So it's probably not surprising that this book goes beyond business life in an acknowledgment that if your "life" isn't working, your business won't be running as well as it should either. They even include a client's question on how to raise success minded kids. This broad approach appealed to me especially since those successful minded kids will soon be running our country!
This is a MUST READ in taking your business and life to the next level!
What It Takes to Be Successful September 10, 2008

Just finished reading this book- and it only took me three days. That's because the book is good. It's easy to read, but the concepts make you think. I enjoyed the questions and answers in the book; they made me realize that most of us are struggling with the same issues in business. I thought the 12 principles were well thought out and seemed to touch the core of what it takes to be successful. I guess this is what happens when you get three powerhouses together in one book. I'd say get it, read it, and apply it.
