Almost one year ago, Dale J. Stephens abruptly left university not knowing what he would do, or how he would support himself. Two months later he signed a lucrative book contract with Penguin Press, an achievement that most authors dream of their entire lives. What happened? How did he do it?
Dale would be the first to admit that he’s no more intelligent or motivated than the average person, but that he also doesn’t believe that luck is responsible for his success. Instead, he was smart enough to know when fortuitous opportunities were presented to him, and motivated enough to take advantage of them.
