Summary: get out of the bleachers and into the game
Review: Ask most professional speakers, and they would like nothing better than to publish a book in order to enhance their "credibility". In their haste to get published, many forget that there is more to writing a book than just throwing together a few quotes, some generic goal-setting techniques and a few words of encouragement.
I should have known that author Charles Marcus would not fall into that trap. This is a well-written, well-organized book, with a great collection of personal stories that illustrate the author's own years of learning, applying and sharing timeless success principles.
The principles aren't new, but the combination of personal stories, illustrations from other famous people's lives, exercises and quotes shed new light on basic truths. Most importantly, Marcus remembers the big picture. True success covers all aspects of life, not just business.
Are you ready to get in the game? Let this be your guidebook out of the bleachers and onto the playing field of life.

Review: Charles Marcus' life is truly an inspiration. Reading his "Success is not a Spectator Sport" helps to put your own life and its stumbling blocks into perspective. He shares some valuable lessons he learned in his own life. When reading his book, the reader is inspired to make some important changes in his own life and in the way he thinks...I know it has done a lot for me.

Summary: Practical Advice and Powerful Reminders
Review: I found the book readable and extremely practical. Success is
all about action, often simple or relatively easy actions, but
in the end we must get off the bench, get in the game and get
stuff done. Charles Marcus does a magnificent job of providing
all three of the "missing pieces" - inspiration, motivation, and
most important of all, clarity about how to get started. If you want something revolutionary (don't we love anything that
is "new and improved?") this isn't it. Marcus simply lays out
a practical, powerful plan for doing the things we all know
we need to do to clarify our goals, develop effective action
steps, and then get going. Buy and read this book, but more
importanty, plan to keep it on your desk and read it again
and again as a gentle and helpful reminder to do what you
know you "should" be doing. It's fun, it's helpful, it will
make a difference. Highly recommended!
