Uncommon Sense in Self Development C. William Salm

Simple secrets to tweak your own performance in work and in life. Here are the field notes from a life-long campaign for self-betterment by a multi-millionaire who retired to Hawaii. As you compare yourself to the rules and anecdotes in this book, the path you must take will become clear to you. Then, all you have to do is take it. "Anybody can do what I do, if they will only do what I do," says author Bill Salm. Spanning 40 years in 4 different careers - making a fortune in each - Bill persistently collected his insights and admonitions to himself at each step along the way. Based on the premise that each person may succeed or fail by following or breaking certain tried and true rules of conduct, and that each person may succeed or fail in his own unique way, this book goes further than just psyching up your willpower to do better. It goes into the details of how to make each improvement. Read the Plan that, in 100 months, brought Bill back from the devastation of corporate downsizing in the early '70's, when he went from aerospace executive to homeless soul. With no help from family or friends, he planned his work and worked his plan, never having a bad month even during recessions - ultimately accumulating numerous residences. Now, he can afford to put his work down, pursue his desire to travel clear around the world, and settle down to write this book.
