People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common. They know all the reasons for failure and have what they believe to be air-tight alibis to explain their own lack of achievement. ~ Napoleon Hill

Welcome to this wonderful publication of the most important ingredients necessary in the life of a leader. First of all, I would like to state that leadership does not necessarily entail having a high position in a large corporation. As soon as you have some kind of responsibility, whether it is regarding your family, yourself, your club, your virtual office, or your physical work environment: you are a leader. We know by now that good leaders are not necessarily born. Great leaders can be made as well. And whatever your area of interest may be, you can be an outstanding leader in it, if you maintain the characteristics and insights shared in this e-book.

It all starts with taking charge of yourself, realizing that you can make it--anytime you really want to--, analyzing your strengths…and expanding them! Remember, it all starts with you.
