The Nile on eBay   Three Simple Steps by Trevor G. Blake

How many self-help books are written by authors whose biggest success is selling self-help books? "New York Times" bestseller "Three Simple Steps" is different.Despite stock market crashes, dot-com busts, and the specter of recession, the author started a virtual company from home, using a few thousand dollars of his savings. A few years later, without ever hiring an employee or leaving his home office, he sold it for more than $100 million. As the economy slipped into another free fall, he did this again with a company in a different field. He accomplished this through no particular genius. Rather, he studied the habits of the many successful men and women who preceded him, and developed three simple rules that, if followed diligently, virtually ensure success. Using them first to escape poverty, then to achieve a life of adventures, he finally turned them toward financial independence.Written in a straightforward and no-nonsense style, "Three Simple Steps" shows you how to take back control of your destiny and reshape your mind for increased creativity, serenity and achievement. While building on the wisdom of great thinkers and accomplished individuals from East and West, "Three Simple Steps" isn't a new age text or guide to esoteric fulfillment. Rather, it's a practical guide to real-life achievement by a pragmatic businessman who attributes his incredible successes to these very simple ideas. "Three Simple Steps" is a must-read guide for everyone who wants to achieve more, live better and be happier.

I have worked with many aspiring entrepreneurs over the years, and they would all benefit from reading and learning to live Three Simple Steps. I wish I had been given the opportunity to internalize these important lessons earlier in my own career." --Drew A. Graham, Managing Partner, Ballast Point Ventures "Three Simple Steps demonstrates how to be successful where others miss the mark. ... Learn how to free your own potential, how to champion your mentality, physicality and spirituality, and, ultimately, how to turn these attributes into your own triumph." --Deborah E. Cool, PhD, CEO, Calidris Therapeutics, Inc. "Trevor showed me early on in my career to keep things simple. I've watched him build two successful companies from his home.

Three Simple Steps is sure to help us all gain greater business success and keep in perspective the things that matter most to us." --Jennifer Olsen, President & CEO, Resourceful HR LLC "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?

Finally, a self-help author who's done more than write self-help books!" --Blogcritics.org
