The times have changed. We need a fresh understanding of the
meaning of success.
What do Condoleezza Rice, Joe Torre, Bill Gates,
Goldie Hawn, Mary Hart, Garry Kasparov, and Jack Welch have in
common?
All have talked at length with Maria Bartiromo
about business, the world and their surprising, inspiring and
uncommon ideas about the meaning of success. Their stories, those
of an extraordinary range of other people from all walks of life,
and Maria Bartiromo’s personal insights are the foundation of The
10 Laws of Enduring Success. It is the guide for the extraordinary
times we are living through.
During bullish, optimistic periods, people seem
to ride an upward wave with ease and confidence. The tangible
evidence is right there for all to see–in their jobs, bank
accounts, homes, families, and the admiration of their peers. But
it is a fact of life that success, once earned, is not necessarily
there to stay. If ever there was a cautionary tale about the
fleeting nature of success, it is the events of recent years.
But a funny thing happened. Faced with
gut-wrenching realities, many people have started to re-evaluate
the meaning of success in less superficial and impermanent ways.
They’re asking themselves hard questions that have
long been ignored: about what’s really
important to them, and where the bedrock of their personal
achievement lies.
As Maria Bartiromo watched the financial drama
from her front-row seat at the New York Stock Exchange, she began
to re-assess the meaning of success–not just as one-off
achievements, but as a durable, lifelong pursuit. Is there, she
wondered, a definition of success that you can have permanently–in
spite of the turmoil in your life, your job, or your bank account?
This question is more important than ever, given the
unpredictability of the current economy.
–What are the intangibles that can’t be
measured or counted?
–What are the qualities that aren’t reflected
in your title or on your business card?
–And more practically, how can you remain
successful even when the worst things happen to you?
–Is it possible to build success from failure?
It’s lonely at the bottom of the heap, when your BlackBerry stops
buzzing, and the world moves on without you.
Everyone wants to be close to success, and to
have success. But what is success? How do you get it, and how do
you keep it? As Maria interviewed some of the most successful
people in the world, she felt the need to answer these questions:
what makes these success stories tick? How did they achieve such
leadership and power and how can one hold onto it, once you get it.
What are the barriers to success and what is the bedrock to
enduring success?
