Description
Just being good at what you do doesn’t cut it anymore. Today’s information-fueled economy rewards a new breed of worker—those who can think differently, move faster, and attain a level of knowledge that tilts the field of play in their favor. In Shortcut to Prosperity, Mark Hopkins explains how to develop those habits—not only for career success, but also for a more fulfilling and exciting life. He’ll show you how to
•Do the soul searching required to find your passion
•Harness hardship or personal vision to engage a lifelong Prosperity Cycle that builds on one success after another
•Put in the hours with the right organizations to develop a differentiating level of competence
•Exploit your natural curiosity and expand your field of vision to spot opportunities others miss, the most important entrepreneurial habit
•Develop partners, guides, and mentors to help you along the way
However you define prosperity, Mark can help you find your field of play, develop a competitive advantage, and recruit allies.
Through stories of inspiring people—some entrepreneurs, some not—Mark reinforces the book’s message: you don’t have to be a genius or lucky to have the exact career and life you want. By sharing the habits of success and simple strategies for integrating them into your life, Mark will help you map your own shortcut to prosperity.

I love motivational books that inspire through real life stories, and steps they walked to land where they landed. This book is filled with methods and windows into the inner workings of success and fulfilling you goals. There is also a section on finding and developing your passion, to look beyond the wall in front of you. Smart ways of moving forward, that's what it boils down to.
A great motivational book for me the entrepreneur as well as others in all walks of life. This book will go on my shelf as one to revisit and loan to friends.
