8 To Be Great. The 8 traits that lead to great success. Richard St. John
Image via Wikipedia 8 To Be Great. The 8 traits that lead to great success. Richard St. John. 20057. ISBN 9780973900910. This book is a delight! Very easy to read, chock full of quotes from 100s of successful people. The book was sparked by a little girl asking the author – ” So how do you get successful?” He spent several years interviewing those considered successful and most of them gave him something like the eight traits. The eight traits are:
- Passion
- Work
- Focus
- Push
- Ideas
- Improve
- Serve
- Persist
A book to inspire and help you get to where you are destined to go to! I packed it around for a few weeks, reading and rereading sections. To some people this could be a life changing book. Very well done. Lots of Canadian references as well.

I met the author (and got a free book) at ACE Nationals in Toronto! Good book but a little repetitive…
