• “The power to affect your future lies within your own hands” – Nido Qubein.
• There’s no secret formula for success. But, in this book, Dr. Qubein will show you how to make the right choices for a life of both success and significance.
• A wonderful book for anyone just starting out or someone looking for change in their career or life path.

Every once in awhile, you meet someone whose perspective changes yours… whose way of looking at the world challenges you to be a better person.

Dr. Nido Qubein is one of those people. His personal story is an inspiration in itself. He arrived in this country as a teenage immigrant with little knowledge of English and 50 dollars in his pocket. But, what he did have was a belief that if you work hard enough and smart enough, you can make good things happen in your life.

And that’s exactly what he did. Now the president of High Point University in High Point, North Carolina, Dr. Qubein is also Chairman of Great Harvest Bread Company and director of several New York Stock Exchange companies. He’s been an entrepreneur, consultant, author and one of the most sought-after speakers in the country.

In his latest book, Seven Choices for Success and Significance, Dr. Qubein shares his insights on the choices he made for success.

“Success is not a matter of luck, not an accident of birth, not a reward for virtue. The most successful people I know are the ones who have something to do, somewhere to be and someone to love.

No one is responsible for your success or your joy. You must search for it and be in a continual state of earning it.

To merely succeed is not an end in itself. You must use your success to impact other people…to impact the world…to Live Life from the Inside Out.

It all starts with the choices you make—they determine the person you will become. “

- An excerpt from Seven Choices for Success and Significance.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from someone who not only has set a standard for achievement, but who does so in a way which gives back to others. Seven Choices for Success and Significance will give you the tools you need to choose both success and significance in your own life.

Stepping Up is our newest release from author John Murphy. Stepping Up will teach you the 10 steps for advancing your career now. It’s the only book of its’ kind in the Simple Truths library and I promise you will come away with solid steps on how to move ahead in your career goals after reading John’s book.

What Are You Doing with Your 24 Hours Today?

How often do you hear people use time as an excuse to not get something done? I hear it quite frequently. In fact, it is one of the most common excuses (inputs) that limit successful outputs. If we don’t take time for what really matters, we cannot possibly expect an improvement in results. As Albert Einstein once noted, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The real key then is not the amount of time we have. We all have 24 hours in a day. It is how we prioritize our activities and use the time we have.

The reality is it’s time to Step Up or step aside.

So many times I’ve said, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it that turns the switch from“off” to “on.” John’s writing style is clear, concise and engaging. He asks questions to make you think and makes his point in a way that makes the reader say, “Wow. I never thought of it quite that way!”

If you’re totally pleased with the success you’ve had in your career and in life, you can stop reading now. If, however, you’d like to “step up” and tap into your true potential, John’s latest book, Stepping Up…10 Takeaways for Advancing Your Career, is for you.

“I didn’t get here by dreaming about it or thinking about it — I got here by doing it.”
Estee Lauder

You’ve heard of the Power of Positive Thinking. There’s no doubt about it…the human mind is an amazingly powerful computer, capable of transforming our lives.

But achieving what you want in life isn’t accomplished by sitting in your comfy chair and visualizing all day long. Far too many people neglect to ACT on their own behalf in order to bring their dreams to life. As cosmetics company founder and CEO Estee Lauder put it so well, “I didn’t get here by dreaming about it or thinking about it — I got here by doing it.”

Author BJ Gallagher has captured the “secret” no one is talking about — you can actually change your thoughts and attitudes by taking positive ACTION, no matter what you’re thinking or feeling! She calls it the “The Power of Positive DOING” —the title of her latest book.

BJ is no stranger to Simple Truths’ readers. The author of more than 20 books, including Friends, Oil for Your Lamp, and The Best Way Out is Through, her engaging stories and original poetry have put her on our best-seller list.

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” Henry David Thoreau

After 50 years of teaching success, Nightingale Learning Systems has gathered together the common bonds and shared values of those individuals who occupy the rarest positions in their industries—the top 2 percent.
With The Top 2%, our intention is to provide the latest research on what it takes to reach the top in the 21st Century—the road map for the next generation of achievers–starting with you.

The fact is, the top 2 percent set the trends in every industry. They set the trends by imagining and dreaming things that didn’t exist and then doing what it took to make it happen. Whether you’re in business, entertainment, sports, politics or some other industry, if you’re in the top 2 percent, you have the power and influence to make things happen.

Find your overarching sense of purpose and focus on it, you’ll find yourself with a drive and a passion you never felt before! As Dostoyevsky put it, “The secret of a man’s being is not only to live, but to have something to live for.”

Find out what you’re living for, and you’ll be on your way to the STARS.

• Have you ever wondered what was the “spark” that was behind some of
  the most successful businesses?
• Read about Mac’s own successes as well as 12 other well known entrepreneurs including Howard Shultz (Starbucks), Jeff Bezos (Amazon.com), Sara Blakely (Spanx) and more…
• Use this book for you and your team to think of new and exciting ways to make your company the next “Big Idea.”
• You will love reading these entrepreneurs’ personal stories and Mac concludes the book with 10 tips for you to follow for success-a great exercise to do on your own or as a team.

Ideas are powerful and one…just one, can change your business and your life.
If you don’t believe me, just pick up the phone and call Steve Jobs, Howard
Shultz or Bill Gates. (Oops…I just remembered, they might be pretty busy.)

Here’s the question and also the inspiration for this book… How do big
ideas happen?
Is there a process or a formula? Or do big ideas just “bubble up” when
minds are curious and open to change? As a lifetime entrepreneur,
the “big idea question” has always fascinated me.

Although every story is different, sometimes just reading how it happened
can “spark” your imagination into action. Sometimes just learning about
how an individual who
was willing to take the risk to follow his or her dream and fight through
adversity to keep it alive, might be just the “push” you need.

However, this collection of “Big Idea Stories” was not only written with the entrepreneur in mind, it was also written to inspire innovation within existing companies. Far too often, companies “roll on” with the status quo, only to
wake up one day to find…competition has passed them by.

Whether your ambition is to start your own company or you want to apply
“Big Idea” thinking to your existing company – I know this book will help
spark many new ideas to make your story the next Big Idea!
