Three Feet from Gold: One Prospector’s Journey to Professional Success

By Adam Toren

If you were lucky, you had one of those history teachers or professors who turned history class into story time. Rather than reading dry-as-dust textbooks and falling asleep during a droning lecture by an instructor who you knew was born during the same ancient time as his or her lecture topic, you were held captive by stories of war heroes and founding fathers. And because history was presented in an interesting and relevant way, you listened, you retained, and you learned.

The same rule applies to becoming knowledgeable about the business world. Reading a book littered with statistics, technical terms, and theories might work for those already well versed in business-speak, but the rest of us need a boost of confidence and an easy-to-follow map. If you are looking for a book, either for yourself or for someone you know, that will inspire and promote self confidence, then Three Feet from Gold is the book you need.

From the minds and experiences of Greg S. Reid and Sharon L. Lechter comes a book that chronicles a fictional man’s passage from a frustrated failure in both his business and personal life to an enlightened, contented business success—and a fulfilling and meaningful personal life as well. It’s story time! But it’s also time to learn valuable lessons from the experts. The many people who helped Greg achieve his success speak directly to the reader, as he or she follows Greg’s journey and roots for his success.

If you’re a fan of Napoleon Hill’s Great Depression-era Think and Grow Rich (1937), you’ll be delighted with the artful way in which Hill’s tips and messages are woven into and throughout Three Feet from Gold. The book incorporates original teachings and simply stated wisdom that is appropriate for people of all ages and from every walk of life. It is not a get-rich-quick book, and it doesn’t lead anyone to believe that success is an easily attainable state. In fact, the valuable lessons you take away from Three Feet from Gold are perseverance, faith, and belief that you will be successful.

With its novel appeal, its timeless principles, its concise storytelling, and its wonderful aha! moments, Three Feet from Gold is an inspirational read that, after digesting its principles and putting them into practice, will put you on the road to your own personal and professional success.
