Avec la franchise qui le caractérise, Richard St. John nous rappelle que le succès n'est pas une voie à sens unique, mais un cheminement continuel. Il s'appuie sur l'histoire en dents de scie de son entreprise pour illustrer une précieuse leçon -- quand on cesse d'essayer, on échoue.

A self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved, Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success -- and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and one successful book. Full bio »
