Marketing and International Business specialist, Hans Rijfkogel, joined the legendary Best-Selling Author and success expert, Brian Tracy, and a select group of entrepreneurs from around the world to co-write the book, Cracking the Code to Success. This title aims to provide the reader with strategies to find success in their health, wealth, and business.
On the day of release, Cracking the Code to Success reached best-seller status on Amazon.com – reaching as high as #26 in the “Direct Marketing” category. The expert information shared in his chapter, “The Making of a Successful Venture Effectively Marketing Cigars in Asia,” has helped the book reach optimal best-seller placement and will help readers gain similar success in their endeavors.
How often have you chased the Code to Success? If you are like most people, you have tried Cracking the Code to Success before. From observation, you may also have noted that there is no specific roadmap that guarantees success. We are all endowed with different personalities and come from any number of different backgrounds, so we approach different tasks in our own individual ways.
Everyone has experienced some measure of success in life. To move up to a higher level, whether it is for recognition, financial reasons, or some other definition of success that you choose, there are many qualities of successful people by which you can be guided. While we often hate to ask for help, mentoring is one of the key ingredients to help you crack the code to success much faster than you could on your own. The entrepeneurs in this book are happy to mentor you with their expertise based on their proven experiences and core principles. They have “been there and done that.”
Mentors will help you avoid the ruts and potholes and save you “oceans of time” while you are trying to get onto the highway of success. In addition to mentoring, you will need specific knowledge, clarity of goals, perseverance and passion to get you past the “no’s” and naysayers, as well as an action plan and a willingness to help others along the way. To Your Success!
Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.
