Three Simple Steps: A Map to Success in Business and Life
BenBella Books, August 2012
How many self-help books are written by authors whose biggest success is selling self-help books? Three Simple Steps is different.
Since 2001, I have built four companies, starting each with a few hundred dollars. My first sold for $107 million, and I had similar success selling my second in 2011. I know what it takes to achieve professional, financial, and personal goals.
I have no identifiable skill or talent. I come from a poor background with as many hang-ups as anyone else. I had no family or business connections to help me. I have, however, studied the attributes, talents, and insights of sell-made men and women. From their successes, I formed three rules and have lived them consistently for 20 years. They have turned an ordinary life into extraordinary.
I'm not a sell-help guru, but a pragmatic businessman whose only advantage in life has been the application of these three simple steps.
I didn't write this to make money. All my profits from this book go to cancer research. I wrote it because it works. In recent years, I have taught these steps to individuals and groups and have seen the impact they can make in all avenues of life. Using these three steps, anyone from the road warrior to the stay-at-home parent can achieve a better, balanced, financially independent life.

simplest of plans. Three Simple Steps is sure to help us
all gain greater business success and keep in perspective the

"One of the best experiences in my career was working for Trevor
Blake. The ability to inspire one to achieve comes not through
sharing a philosophy, but by sharing and imparting a belief in
your success, and the steps to get there. Trevor did that for me.
I continue to carry that belief throughout my varied career as a
business executive, singer, and mother, and this book is a
reminder that no matter what the barriers, you can achieve your
own definition of greatness."
-- Joan Curto, Cabaret icon and bestselling artist of May I Suggest?
