The book with life and business advice "A Venture to Victory: 40 Lessons to Lead a Victorious Life" by Shahid Pervaiz is very well elaborated and full of very good advice that can help you in future decisions.

I have to admit that the book amazed me with the amount of advice, not only in business advice but also with advice on how to live life to the fullest. Although I am at an age where I am aware of my faults and virtues, it is always good to read tips to improve our lives. In this book, the writer has described in detail every situation that can await you in future business ambitions, but also how to bring your life into balance with the changes that may await you in the future. You need to find a balance in everything because life is full of variations, but with this book, you can find advice that can help you on your way. I would recommend the book to everyone, because it can help you in every way, regardless of whether you are starting a business or want to bring your life into a balance that you can enjoy to the fullest. Happiness is so variable and you should enjoy small things or victories.

A curious number

Whilst I appreciate the authors attempts to encourage self development and progress in life, I had read a great deal of self help books in the past, and found that there were an awful lot of similarities in this book. Books such as 7 methods of highly effective people are far more detailed, and in my mind were highly valuable. I did find quite a bit of repetition, some points that I disagreed with entirely, and some lines that I was shaking my head at.
With all that being said, this is a good starting point for anyone who needs a little inspiration for progression, but I have to point out that I came from a very poor background, and worked my way up to a senior management position and it is not all just about working harder, it’s working smarter and enjoying what you do. If you enjoy your job, then you don’t just work to benefit the boss, you do it to better yourself, and are often more prepared to go above and beyond.
I am sure that I could have deep in depth discussions with the author about philosophy, and self improvement, and for me it is important to encourage growth rather than be detrimental. I wish you much success in your writing endeavours sir.

This exceptional book is a pleasure to read. It was recommended at a pertinent time in my life, as a family crisis is drawing upon evaporating reservoirs of hope and positive thinking. I found it to be incredibly uplifting as the author’s voice emanates passion, empathy, and conviction, which sets this apart from run-of-the-mill self-help or motivational books. As you proceed, you feel the author is speaking directly to you, one on one, with an understanding of your situation. Even though the underlying emphasis is on fulfilling your dreams in terms of a suitable career, this is not a get rich quick book, but a book on how to enrich your life and soul, even if your trajectory is to ascend the corporate ladder—a tricky balancing act indeed. As the author states in one of many moments of self-reflection: “I was so busy trying to change things outwardly that I could never explore the stuff that needed to be changed inwardly.” Let’s say you make it to the top. What should you do when you get there? “Always use your power to protect the weak, use your wealth to help the needy, use your wisdom to enlighten the illiterate, and use your reverence to honour the people around you.”

As the title indicates, the author offers a series of distinct rules for success, readily encapsulated into 40 bite-sized concepts with several broken down into additional “mini” rules. The rules follow an orderly progression that gives the experience of gently floating down a stream of consciousness. My favorite chapter title is “How to Deal with Murphy,” as this irksome “law” is something that crops up in my progress toward my goals quite often. As a writer of fiction, I particularly responded to the author’s thoughts about the benefits of dreaming: “You ought to have wild fantasies and scary dreams to do an achieve great things in life.” One of the author’s prescriptions for a happy life actually answers a chicken-versus-egg discussion I saw posted to Twitter (X) the other day: “It is not happiness that brings us gratitude; it’s gratitude that brings us happiness.” Even if you acquire 10% of the enthusiasm, self-direction, and positivity of the author, you will be on your way toward achieving your life goals. I’ll be keeping this book within “reach” on my electronic library shelf as a resource to fall back on in times of stress, self-doubt, and anxiety, and as a guide toward a more productive lifestyle with a healthier mindset.

Every so often, I enjoy reading an inspirational book such as this one to help take stock of where I am in life and the goals I'm looking to achieve.

I liked that there were so many areas covered—from thinking big to harnessing the 24 hours we all have in a day. There were also many inspirational quotes throughout that I took note of as well. And though I differ in my spirituality, I did find the sections covering faith very inspiring.

With 40 bite-size yet powerful lessons, this an invigorating read!

Over my career and as part of my own self-development I have read a lot of motivational books written by business tycoons and well-known inspirational speakers which have provided some important and useful strategies for achieving ambitions and success in both a work and personal environment.

The key messages in most are similar, but they do differ in the way they are presented and some can be complex. Not so the case with Shahid Pervais’s book A Venture to Victory which provides some helpful insights into living a victorious life in an easy to follow and implement manner.

From the opening chapter on the power of thinking big there is a common sense approach to dealing with the negativity that surrounds us and is often internally exhibited in our choices regarding work or our relationships, There is a reminder that making a difference to others is far more satisfying in the long run than working towards a goal that only benefits ourselves.

The author reminds us that being different should be celebrated and you need to appreciate there is no gain without pain. He also shares what he considers to be the essential ingredients for success which are knowledge, skill, wisdom, hard work and creativity. These achieved through dreaming, learning, initiative, enthusiasm, discipline, service and gratitude.

Certainly I could relate to all the chapters in the book, and in particular one I believe is very important in work and in our personal lives and that is a balanced approach to happiness and how ultimately we are the only ones who can determine that.

I would recommend this book for anyone seeking to find a balance in their lives both during the working years and definitely in retirement when it is easy to lose focus about what your life now offers and how you can still thrive and succeed in other areas.

Not the kind of book I normally read, but I was pleasantly surprised by the wisdom of Shahid, and his philosophy. 40 lessons seems like a lot to ingest and act on, but you don't need to. You just need to focus on the lessons that pertain to yourself, and be inspired by them. As I was.
We all need guidance and advice from time to time, some more than others, and this amazing book gives so much.
If you are looking for motivation, success, and how to stay positive, then you will love 'A Venture to Victory' as much as I did. Highly recommended.

A Venture to Victory is a digestible step-by-step guide to a better way of thinking, self-motivation and remaining positive. The book is set out in a clear format and travels through each aspect of life, how we think, work, rest etc ...

Pervaiz examines our perceptions in bite-size, friendly speech. Why do some of us work harder for longer periods and some for less, and yet we cover the same ground? These are interesting snippets that we can all relate to. How we compare our lives against others. How to make the most of what we have, and how to get things right.

The Principles of Victory section is an interesting one, the first being 'Know Yourself' Who you are, your purpose, dreams, existence, mission, goals etc. How often do we take the time to do just that?

This is a book for anyone looking to improve their self-awareness and their accomplishments. It helps us focus on what is important and recognise where we are going wrong and how to correct it to achieve our goals.

A Venture to Victory is a do-it-yourself manual, a book to pick you up after one of life's many setbacks. I particularly enjoyed the 'golden rules.'
In my opinion, this isn't a book to read, but rather a manual to follow. It tells you what to do rather than showing you how. I would have enjoyed a few examples—stories slash parables illustrating the lessons in action and showing me how to apply them.
A good book to have on the shelf to use when you need to discover those extra doses of inspiration to cope with life's challenges.

This is a self-help designed to guide us on our journey of improvement whether it be in our professional or private lives.
Several phrases caught my eye and gives a feel to what the book is about:
“It’s not important to win the argument, learn to win the people.”
“Stay away from negative people.”
“Your future is a reflection of your performance today.”
“Forgive yourself for the blunders you make.”
“Share what you have. You always have something to give.”
“If you pray for the rain, you gotta deal with the mud too.”
I particularly enjoyed the last quote😊 It’s an easy read that will put you in a positive frame of mind. Enjoy.

I totally enjoyed this insightful book and recommend whether you’re struggling or not, it’s loaded with great content for everyday life! My favorite comparison was the use of the Timepiece and the Compass. What a chapter! It reads like poetry. ❤️
As an author, I probably would’ve titled the book Timepiece and Compass because it’s so beautiful.

Knowing yourself well is crucial before embarking upon any journey of personal transformation. Shahid Pervaiz makes this clear as he cites lessons, lessons learned, and wisdom gained by those who choose to turn obstacles into growth.

This self-help book is easy to read and flows simply and naturally from one venture to another. I found it motivating the more I read as I absorbed and embraced each courageous example individually one at a time.

A VENTURE TO VICTORY does a great job of inspiring its reader in obvious and subtle ways. Easy to see any reader slipping into this narrative and becoming the successful, victorious protagonist they long to be. This book is a great jumpstart to getting unstuck and progressing forward into the grand adventure of life.

Shahid’s promotion of self-compassion resonated. When life becomes too hard, go easy (on yourself).

Reading this intelligently written book will loosen the boundaries that hold you back from life. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

A well written but not completely original read

A Venture to Victory by Shadid Pervaiz, is a well written but not completely original read. Self help books are my cup of tea to be honest as they tend to all say the same things, but Pervaiz's writing pushes above many.
His writing is clear and well formed, allowing his points to come across easily and naturally. The book is nicely divided into various 'speeches' which allows for quick bursts of inspiration and motivation.
Overall, a very good book and if you need some motivation this is book you should check out.

God will not let you fail

This book is full of inspiration and positive thoughts for a better life and fulfilling your dreams. My favorite line, "Shoot fornthe moon, even if you miss, your among the stars." Knowing God did not make me to fail, wane, or fall is something I needed to hear. Very positive and uplifting read.
