¿As a long time prosecutor, law school professor, business man and political operative, I¿ve noticed repeatedly that certain skills and traits are indispensable to succeed in any field or endeavor. In, ¿How to Succeed in Business By Really Trying¿, Mike Hill presents many of these in a comprehensive, memorable and entertaining way. The simplicity and down to earth style of his writing lets you forget the difficulty of the lessons that you painlessly and permanently take away from this gem.¿ Brent Romney * ¿Mike Hill has written a book that bridges the gap between the theory that is taught in business school and the reality of work life. If you had a mentor, this is what you would learn. If you are new to business, this is a must read. If you think you know all about business, this is a must read. This will become required reading for my students.¿ Dr. E. Forrest Boyd, III, Senior Adjunct Professor * ¿I was easily engaged after the first few pages and after 20 pages I was convinced that Mike Hill should add ¿teacher¿ to his resume. I learned some things; had many of my beliefs reinforced; and painfully revisited mistakes I have long tried to suppress. The mix of insight, personal experiences and humor will serve readers of any age and background very well.¿ Alan Faiola, President and Director of The Zabin Group, Zabin Industries, Hong Kong Ltd. * ¿This is a book that should be read by anyone that is in business or management at almost any level. It explains how to do many things usually learned only through the hard knocks of experience, without the pain or embarrassment. There were a number of times I found myself nodding in agreement and smiling at Mike¿s sage advice, often delivered with a touch of humor.¿ Thad Gembacz, US Immigration Judge, Retired
