“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.” This interesting success journey allegory (or fable) is based on Napoleon Hill’s revolutionary bestseller Think and Grow Rich. It is about a young entrepreneur, Greg Reid (co-author as the character), who was struggling in his business and life, went through a life-changing series of encounters with some of today’s foremost business leaders and inspirational figures. When he was about to give up, only “three feet from gold,” his mentors inspired him with their stories and encouragements.
When I read his story, I read mine. Truly, Napoleon once said: “Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.” To read my full review of Sharon Lechter's Three Feet from Gold: Turn Your Obstacles Into Opportunities!

I always love when self-help or personal development books are written as a mix of story format and teaching. This book really had some amazing lessons that have helped me move forward in the face of temporary defeat. I would highly recommend reading this book to all of my entrepreneurship oriented friends especially!
An eye-opener. The book lays down a vision for an overwhelming journey of success, thoroughly pinpointing the intricacies involved in trying to attain success in life. Whatever kind of success it may be.
