WISDOM GLEANED FROM
SEVEN DECADES OF SUCCESS AT BUSINESS AND LIFE
My Say: A Mentor's Guide for Success
Success is a moving target that keeps changing as we grow; it's
never a final destination, so "screw up your courage and take on tasks
that will make you proud of yourself," says Edwin Bobrow, who, at age 71,
has written his eleventh book, My Say: A Mentor's Guide for Success
(Chandler House Press, May 1999, $15.95). Packed full of wisdom learned
over a lifetime of business success and personal challenges, including
serious illness and years of continuous pain, My Say is for anyone, at any
age, who is not sure what to do with the rest of his or her life.
The key to success, Bobrow says, is to reflect often on who you
are and what you really want, and to write a plan with a timeline for
achieving your goals. Writing in the "voice of a mentor," Bobrow shares
his experiences, practical advice, and the rules he has learned to follow
during his 50-year career as a businessman, consultant, teacher,
author,columnist, and leader in many professional and community
associations.
Bobrow offers practical, step-by-step exercises to guide readers in
thinking about their own desires and plans. Readers learn how to:
. Identify what you really want and how to get it.
. Devise a personal mission statement, goals and strategies.
. Test your plans against reality.
. Plan for contingencies.
. Know what to do when you're "lost inside" and don't know where to go.
. Make order out of chaos.
. Break a bad habit.
. Network.
. Develop a "budget for living" that includes money, time and energy.
