                      This book, like everything else I have created in my life, is the result of a huge
                      team effort. I extend my deepest gratitude and thanks to the following:
                         Janet Switzer, without whose Herculean efforts this book would never have
                      been completed. Thank you for your incredible support, deep insights, and long
                      days spent in the original conception of this book, coauthoring a world-class book
                      proposal, distilling my endless production of written words down into a manage-
                      able manuscript, contributing exciting and valuable new content to the revised
                      edition, bringing your business perspective to this book for my entrepreneurial
                      readers, and creating such an amazing marketing plan for reaching millions of
                      people with the message of this book over the last decade. You have been a trusted
                      advisor and incredible strategist for my career for nearly 25 years. You are truly
                      awesome!
                         Patty Aubery, former president of Chicken Soup for the Soul Enterprises and
                      current president of the Canfield Training Group. Thank you for “making” me
                      write this book and for bringing Janet Switzer into our organization almost 25
                      years ago, as well as introducing me to Bonnie Solow, who helped make this book
                      possible. Also for your persistence in enrolling PEI, our coaching company, con-
                      vincing them that my message was worth the risk. Your commitment to leveraging
                      the Canfield brand to transform millions of lives and your determination to create
                      the next generation of transformational leaders continuously stretch me. You are
                      living proof that the principles in this book work if you work the principles. Words
                      can never convey how much I appreciate your support in bringing out the best
                      in me.
                         Jeff Aubery, for living without your wife as she worked on this book and on
                      the Train-the-Trainer Home Study Program at the same time. You are an amazing
                      man and father.
                         Steve Hanselman, who was the editor and publisher at Harper Collins for the
                      first edition of this book and who urged me to publish this revised edition. Thanks
                      for your boundless energy, your beautiful spirit, and your dedication to educating
                      and uplifting the world through the written word.

                      rity, your professionalism, your commitment to excellence, your sincere desire to
                      make a difference, and your love for life.
