The interviews found in this book are conducted by David Wright, President of ISN Works and Insight Publishing. Achieving success is serious business, or so it would seem. So many people are striving for this nebulous concept known as ¿success.¿ I¿ve asked many people what their definition of success is and I¿ve heard different answers from just about all of them. Some people appear successful and on the surface it seems that they should be very happy about what they¿ve accomplished. But often they are not. Their lives have become so complicated that they feel harried and on a treadmill of endless things to do to keep their hard-won success. Can¿t success be simple? I wondered if anyone else had ever thought about this, so I searched for speakers and authors who would give me some answers. In this book, Success Simplified, the successful businesspeople I found gave several different answers to my question. The answers were very insightful, in my opinion. I think they will give you a new perspective on success and how to make it simple.
Ann feels like she's in Paradise as she digs her toes into the soft, white sand and gazes out at the ocean. She's looked forward to this trip to South Carolina for a long time and all she wants to do is bask in the sun, resting and relaxing. She and her two young children are enjoying their time on Fripp Island with Ann's sister, Marnie, and Marnie's elderly friend and former neighbor, Clara Brunner, a long time resident with a vast knowledge of the island and the people who live there. At the fourth of July fireworks, Clara introduces them to newlyweds Jenny and Mark Hall and their families. But Ann's plans for a peaceful vacation are shattered the next morning. When she goes for a solitary walk on the beach, she discovers the body of a young woman with the chain of a gold locket twisted around her neck and she immediately recognizes the locket as the one Jenny Hall was wearing the night before. Shocked and saddened, Ann is determined to try to find the killer and to see them brought to justice. She convinces Marnie and Clara to join her in conducting an investigation but, in the process, she places her own life in jeopardy.
