We believe that success comes only to those who establish goals and then work diligently to achieve them.
Therefore, with our mentor's help, we should begin immediately to determine our short-term and long-term goals, to write them down, to review our progress at every step, to celebrate the goals we accomplish, and to learn from those we don't. ~ Rich DeVos
Written by the co-founder of Amway Corporation. Currently he has a net worth of 5.1 Billion (March 2013). You will find this book packed full of stories in support of capitalism and how to be a capitalist that makes a difference in the world.

This is one of the 'must read' books. You would love reading this even if you're not a person who is for Amway business, but the teaching here is for everyone who wants to advance themselves. The author alone has been through hard times on beginning a giant business, something that not everyone has, therefore it deserves a recognition.

***** 5 "Stars of Gratefulness".
Una guía para seguir los sueños, respetarlos y mantenerse fiel a ellos , un mensaje enfocado en poner los dones y talentos al servicio de los demás , un libro predicador de la filosofía del ganar-ganar , la generosidad y la satisfacción obtenida de la recompensa por el esfuerzo empleado . Resumiendo así esta gran obra en un término acuñado como Capitalismo solidario.
El libro se pasea por biografías e historias de emprendedores, empresarios y visionarios cuyos esfuerzos en pos de la superación personal los han llevado a la cumbre. Y que bajo la guía y reflexión de Rich Devos todos ellos comparten sus frustraciones, experiencias y enseñanzas con el lector para acercarlo a la realización del éxito.
Comparto con todos ustedes este fragmento obtenido del libro Capitalismo solidario (Compassionate Capitalism ). Por Rich Devos.
"En alguna parte de usted su espíritu emprendedor esta luchando por ser libre".
"Y algún día usted sabrá que la verdadera satisfacción que proporciona el capitalismo solidario no es el encontrar su propia realización y seguridad financiera personal. La verdadera satisfacción es ayudar a otras personas a encontrar para si mismas su realización y seguridad financiera".

This book shows how true capitalism is about people helping other people by giving them a hand-up instead of a hand-out. Greedy people who exploit other people are NOT true capitalists because they create win-lose relationships, where they win at other peoples expense.(these people get capitalism a bad name) On the other hand, true capitalists create win-win situations where they win and so do the people they deal with. A good example of this is the network marketing industry where one persons success is built on the success of other people. In this environment it is impossible to succeed without first helping other people succeed. This is true capitalism and is the economic backbone of any democratic country.

Tremendo
Un libro que toda persona debiera leer sea empresario o empleado, permite encontrar el ángulo para reconocer nuestros actos entendiendo que estamos viviendo entre seres humanos que si importan

Excellent book. I enjoyed it so much...simply because I was able of "seeing" how a different form of Capitalism can change and empower the lives of common people. It has changed the way I view many things.

An excellent book which gives clear insights into the author's values and way of living which are transmitted into the way he runs his business. Great values worth looking into and apply to your life.
