The DNA of Achievers explores the 10 traits of successful people (Passion, Work Ethics, Vision, Risk-Takers, Team Building, Talk-To-Do Ratio, Planning, Learning From Failure, Giving Back and Thinking Outside The Box) from the experiences of Mathew Knowles and others.
I bought this book at a conference for my social work internship. The author signed it with this message: "To Marsha & Students. When you live your passion you never work a day in your life! 6/10/17"
Definitely not as good as I hoped but still worth a read. The principles were sound but the execution often made it boring and overly long. My two favorite traits were"talk-to-do ratio" and giving back. Mathew is definitely a smart business man that appears to embody the traits he puts forth in this book. I enjoyed the stories of the million dollar family business they ran before Destiny's Child took off and the planning behind some of Beyonce's most successful records.
