Book excerpt: "When faced with the heat of adversity, champions are forged by the fire while the others are consumed by its flames." - Jerry LePre The Popcorn Destiny So you reached the top. What's next? Where do you go from here? Those are the questions that most people who have achieved success have repeatedly asked themselves. What do I do now? In working with people both professionally and personally, I found most successful people, people of significance, still thirst for the next adventure. These accomplished Difference Makers aren't satisfied to just sit back and mildew in a rocking chair. They live for the new success story. They live for the journey. They live for the passion of discovery. My book, Smell The Popcorn: 12 Life-changing Secrets to Pop to the Top, empowered its readers to grow from the heat of adversity and achieve significance. Yet significance isn't static. The 'top' is not a fixed point. It's alive and still popping to greater heights. Likewise, the entrepreneurial spirit that took these Difference Makers to the 'top' isn't dead. Their appetite to sustain significance is alive. It's a constant hunger to passionately seek new and exciting quests that drives these visionaries. However, they don't have to look too far to find the quests they seek. Staying at the 'top' is their next great journey, since staying there is often more challenging than getting there. To maintain their position at the 'top' takes a fresh forward-thinking vision. After all, the success Difference Makers experience today serves only as a standard for raising the bar (top) for future success. Most people who have reached the top are masters of thinking forward. Unfortunately, not all are Forward Thinkers. Those who are not, will find it difficult or even impossible to Stay at the Top(TM). Forward Thinkers constantly take their journey to a higher level. They realize the scenery (view) gets better the higher they climb. My book, The Popcorn Principle, inspires and energizes forward-thinking climbers to keep their climb popping to new heights. If you want to Stay at the Top(TM), you need to be a Forward Thinker. NOTE: The Popcorn Principle states when specific actions are repeated consistently in the proper sequences, the desired result will be the same every time. Even small ordinary actions, done consistently, can produce extraordinary results. 7 Significant Habits to Stay at the Top 1. Rise and Shine 2. Think B.I.G.! Think W.O.W.! 3. Take the Path Less Traveled 4. Strike Up the Band (Organic Approach to DEI) 5. Make a Difference; Not Excuses (Cultivate of Culture of Accountability) 6. Avoid the Ain't Dere No More Syndrome 7.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book mainly focuses on defining profit models, on how many main kinds of profit models there are, how profit models can change a company, and how to tailor a profit model to the needs of a certain company. In this context, profit models are classified as fixed-income, remaining-profit and profit-sharing, admission, toll, parking, fuel and sharing fees, profit sources, customer pricing, auction, combined pricing, etc. The logic behind all these profit models will be analyzed in detail and numerous micro-cases will be introduced. All of the micro-cases discussed are the best profit model practices used by outstanding enterprises, mainly from China and the USA (including HomeAway, Priceline, Tencent, Sina, Google, the Voice of China, CSPN and so on). These models will be complemented by a wealth of figures and additional tools to help readers better understand the principle of profit models. As such, the book not only explains “why” entrepreneurs preferred to apply a specific kind of profit model and not others, but also answers “how” they derived that model.

He’s on target with how to make it right and strong. His wisdom is right on the money. His ethics ring true and genuine. He reinforces his advice with real-world examples. He encourages you to do it.

He has a track record that includes tens of millions of success stories. “I owe my positive attitude to Napoleon Hill. I realized that by adopting the fundamental Hill principles, and adapting them to my life and family, I could achieve and maintain a positive mental attitude. I became an achiever and a believer—and have never lost that belief.” -Jeffrey Gitomer, Author The Little Red Book of Selling and The Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude
