Synopsis

We accomplish more by concentration than by fitness; the man that is apparently best suited for a place does not always fill it best. It is the man that concentrates on its every possibility that makes an art of both his work and his life. All your real advancement must come from your individual effort. This course of lessons will stimulate and inspire you to achieve success; it will bring you into perfect harmony with the laws of success. It will give you a firmer hold on your duties and responsibilities.

I recognize that it was written during a time where the power of women may have been shunned and people were much more conservative. But I'm excited about......more

Goodreads review by Birgit on February 07, 2021

I’m known for my ability to do a hundred things at the same time & pushing boundaries. But doing that has required so much growth & discipline of me.
