This book in very inspirational and could relate to the narrator in the story and that made it much better. It makes you want to get out of your funk and excel. Thank you Life Leadership for this book!

Books in the form of business parables are a big win:win for the author & the reader; why? Principles, wisdom, nuggets of truth, and personal experience can be put inside gift wrap which serves to deliver the package as if the reader = the young wide eyed child, and the author = the parent ( aka, 'Santa Claus' ) on Christmas Day/morning.

This is yet another book in this rich vein -- other reviews in this genre always net five stars from me since they are just powerful at their very core -- this one by Mr. Woodward ( with a big assist from Mr. Stahl-Wert & Mr. Brady ) is no exception.

If you liked 'Ten Thousand Horses'; 'The Serving Leader' ; 'LeaderShift' ; 'Peaks and Valleys' ; & other such reads --- you will love this one just as much.

Amazing, fun, easy to read story of what it looks like for someone who goes from frustration in life, life falling apart to being introduce to the LIFE Leadership system and his journey through the entire process. Great insights into how things work, and what you too can expect. The answers answered all in a story format that makes learning about what to do and most importantly YOUR why.

Must read, and a must hand out to every person whom you think could stand to ask themselves if there's anything LIFE Leadership could offer for their or other's lives.

Best book I've read this year. This book truly lays out why the LIFE networking ladder is for you and the how to go with it. Written in story format that allows the reader to feel the emotion of actually being the character in the pages. If you are already on the LIFE Train and you're not reading this book, you don't yet understand the profession you're in. If you're not yet somehow feel something is missing from your life, this book is for you.

The Leadership Train is a fictional story of one man's journey through the development of himself, and his Life Leadership business. It is not a manual per se, but more a demonstration of the "art" side of leadership. Written as a loose journal, the information is well laid out, easy to read, and thought provoking. Highly recommended for anyone in the Life Leadership, or any other team development enterprise.

This book is absolutely phenomenal, a must read, can't put down until you're finished kind of book! The narrative form of this book engrossed it's reader into the world of network marketing and leadership, enabling a clearer view of what the field should be and how ultimately LIFE Leadership is making that happen. A motivating book for those on the train and a compelling story for those contemplating moving their ladder. I was ready up jump off of my ladder within the first four pages.

This was a fantastic, light, fun, and easy read. It was also extremely hard to set down, right from page 1! Orrin does a phenomenal job of pulling the reader into the life and reality of our disgruntled workaholic hero, who gets his one-in-a-million shot to get free with a great business opportunity.

One of the best Mentor/Mentee books you can read. To be able to USE this book to jump start your business through the SUCCESS of the Author (and those he is closely affiliated with who have success and fruits in their lives) who goes back to mentor is prior self (lacking leadership and success and fruits).
