Summary: Great BOOK - Great INTERVIEW
Review: I loved this book. Rich is a great story teller and he actually had my stomach doing flip flops as he described jumping out of planes from 14,000 feet and climbing up 350 foot sheer cliffs. It could be my love for the outdoors that captured my attention, but I now count this as one of the best success books I've ever read and I'm already going back through it carefully and doing all of the exercises. I believe this book will capture the heart of any success minded person. I interviewed Rich Fettke on "The Inside Success Show" and he is an extremely knowledgeable and fun guy. The stories he tells will make your heart pound with desire to succeed without struggle.
Here's some of what you'll learn from the book:
** Why you must learn the new strategy of "success without a struggle
** What simple steps you can take to balance you life
** How you can avoid getting killed by the lies of the devil's fear and rely on your Protector Fear
** Why you must keep your eye on the future you want
** How you can start your journey to success without limits today
** And much, much more .. Randy (Dr. Proactive) Gilbert

Rich accesses that success can be fun and easy. It's all
about knowing what you want, putting fear aside, and
just going for it! With a warm and friendly style, Rich shares strategies on

Summary: Sweet Success
Review: As a professional personal coach I found Rich Fettke's "Extreme Success" an excellent resource for tips and techniques for use with my clients (not to mention myself!). My favorite is his idea of dealing wtih fears that inhibit us from doing the things we need to do to move forward in our lives. Called "dancing with your protector," it's an imaginative and powerful way to reframe the obstacles in our lives in a way that can actually propel us forward with a greater liklihood of success. I host a radio program in Seattle called "The Working Life!(tm)" and have interviewed Rich about his book. I found him to be engaging and sincerely interested in helping all of us to make the most of what we've been given in this life. If we can do that--really do that--then our success will not only be extreme, but sweet.

Summary: How far can you get by going it alone?
Review: Many small business people and managers I work with hold on so tightly to the notion that self-reliance and hard work is what allowed them to achieve their success. That may be true to some extent. It's also a big reason why they sought out a professional personal coach. Somehow, they realized that something was holding them back. Fettke shows us what they've been missing -- the ability to create powerful partnering relationships and collaborate. Fettke shows us how to develop key alliances and leverage the help of other people. He gets you thinking about who and how others might give you what you need to achieve more with less effort. There are many people who can help, certainly not just coaches. Almost all great things, and great people, are built with the help of others. The quicker one discovers this simple idea, the faster and farther one will fly.

Summary: Powerful -- yet fun!
Review: This personal development book was actually fun to read because of the author's ability to weave captivating stories around powerful lessons for personal and professional success. At the end of each chapter there are several "Action Ideas" to help implement the lessons learned. There are also "Keepers" at the end of each chapter -- basically a bulleted list of the most important strategies from the chapter. I can now just pick up the book, flip to the "Keepers" at the end of the chapter, and all the best ideas are right there.

Summary: Clear focus, less struggle, more momentum
Review: I love the way this book breaks through that old fashioned belief that we have to beat ourselves up and struggle to improve our success. That doesn't mean we don't have to put in an effort. The author actually writes, "There's nothing I embrace more than achieving something new that's going to require real effort. What I don't believe is that effort automatically links with struggle, which further links to negativity." Fettke goes on to say, "All struggle produces is a situation where the enjoyment is sucked out of what you're doing -- even if the outcome is successful." It's a refreshing approach to the old push, push, push mentality of many books on success. Extreme Success gave me ways to stop fighting my fear, I learned several tips on how to deal with overwhelm, and I gained new strategies that have helped me be more focused and effective -- not only at work, but in all areas of my life.

Summary: Worth the $1.99 I paid
Review: According to the author, if you work hard, you are "struggling". And if you don't work hard, you will succeed. But you will need "success partners". The rest of the book, the author tells us how he got visions and revelations while skydiving, mountain climbing, mountain biking and bungee jumping. Does that mean that a person who is physicaly handicapped can never achieve extreme success????? I got this book in the bargain bin for $1.99. And there are a lot more copies... makes you wonder, doesn't it??? Before you trash this review... ask yourself... which part of what I wrote isn't true?????

Summary: Developing that Courage Muscle
Review: Being an avid reader of self-help books and finding that I constantly slip back into old habits once the last page of the book is turned, I found that at last,here is a book that provides 33 Action Ideas that I can schedule as part of my daily life, and track my progress. The Ideas help you build momentum towards what you want to achieve in the long term but through the daily implementation of the ideas, I feel that I am making progress step by step. Yes, I have fears, and yes, it will be difficult to "dance with those fears " as Fettke suggests but when I look at the exhilerating experiences ( those Extreme Successes ) that I have had in my life, they have all been because I have actually embraced the fear, and moved with it as an ally.
I enjoyed the book and would certainly recommend it.

Summary: Finally...."The Rubber meets the Road"
Review: Rich Fettke's book is simply amazing. He not only explains theories about how to create success in easy-to-understand terms, but he goes on to tell you specifically HOW to create success. Too many books on the market today focus only on ideas and theory, not action. Rich's book is a breath of fresh air and a welcomed change.
