Contrary to popular belief, success is not just about becoming rich and famous. Chérie Carter-Scott, Ph.D., realizes that everyone has their own personal definition of success, whether it be to run a business, raise healthy, happy children, have more spare time, get good grades, or become President of the United States. In If Success Is a Game, These Are the Rules, Chérie addresses the issues at the heart of a meaningful and successful life. She helps you define what success means to you, and then tells you in ten simple rules how you can achieve it.
Chérie learned the rules of success firsthand: she built her management consulting firm to serve top clients around the world, including IBM and GTE. Her books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules, touch hundreds of thousands of readers. And despite a calendar that shuttles her through dozens of time zones annually, she keeps her family close and connected.
With rules as clear as "Self-trust is essential" and "Your actions affect your outcome," Chérie guides readers step-by-step through all the various challenges on the path to success. From finding your true calling to discovering the riches abundant in day-to-day routines, to recognizing opportunities and managing your resources, If Success Is a Game, These Are the Rules is both inspirational and practical. Chérie explains the importance of having a vision but also the importance of setting realistic goals. She provides tools to help you identify your gifts but also tools to help manage your time. She shows you how to believe in yourself but also how to cultivate relationships with others. Success can be a difficult and precarious journey, but once we understand what our goals are and the ways that both advances and setbacks can work for us, we can begin to move closer to what we want, and to grow as individuals.
Illuminated with motivational and personal stories, and written in Chérie's warm, engaging tone, If Success Is a Game, These Are the Rules is the perfect guide for your journey as you seek to fulfill all your dreams.

Book Review By Ekoroi Olagaless
This motivational book has an exercise in ‘what have you learnt’ after each chapter.
Change is painful, but that pain is the fire that ultimately helps us escape our present circumstances, whatever they are, to experience freedom.
What is freedom?
In this book, Vincent Ogutu carefully researched, selected and wrote about the ten common things that hold people back in life.
The chapters are carefully divided to address the above, mostly mental (even sometimes physical) constraints.
In Escape Slavery, the author shares the life of one Frederic Douglass, how he escaped physical slavery and the traits that made him successful in life.
The book’s second chapter is about escaping debt, I think everyone should get this book and read this chapter first, then the others. Debt and money management is the single most enslaving thing in our current world.
There are other chapters such as escaping career stagnation, escaping stress, and escaping stagnation in life.
Face your jailers with knowledge and Experience Freedom. All it takes are Little STEPS big IMPACTS. – Vincent Ogutu, Author and Business Coach.
The overarching message in the above-mentioned four chapters is having the mindset to believe in a better future than present circumstances. The will and action to do different, most often better, is what makes the difference towards freedom.
There are also chapters on escaping toxic relationships, escaping gender stereotypes, escaping poverty, escaping unhealthily competition and escaping politics.
In the last two chapters, titled Opportunities and Escape, the author shares how to spot opportunities and lastly the mental stamina and physical resolve in escaping the past, failure and mediocrity to experience true freedom in one’s life.
It is imperative that in escaping a mediocre and average life, one first knows, acknowledges and rejects their present circumstances, secondly, one has to have a mental picture of their desired destination.
This is a great self-help book that should not be hurriedly read. Get the lessons, write them down, digest them by doing the exercises at the end of each chapter – Ekoroi
Ogutu puts that across very well for the reader.
However, as has been shown in the book, without action, nothing can be achieved.
The nuggets for success that are shared about the examples of people that have worked hard and escaped their previous bad circumstances are enough to motivate one to start now.
Buy this book from Nuria Store.
