[NOTE: I do not know the author, nor has this review been requested. For those cynics out there, who think the author has scrounged up some easy 5-Star reviews!]"Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude."  -- Zig Ziglar.You just have to LOVE that quote.  It also happens to set the positive tone of this little gem.▲  I admit I intended just to quick perusal of this little book.  To my surprise, it really caught my attention, and I began picking up some really good tips. Honest, I didn't mean to!▲ First of all, it's obvious that this is a well-organized book--well-planned, and well executed.  I liked what I saw right at the start: the Table of Contents made it very clear that the author knew what he was doing.▲ Different readers will find different "nuggets" in STREET SMARTS.  Some parts I sort of glossed over; others were deserving of more attention.  One such area is "Knowledge."  The author suggests becoming an expert in the field, because "knowledge provides you with a shortcut."  It tells you where to not waster your time.  Simple concept--but excellent advice!▲ To get the momentum going, pick a goal that you can achieve in a week or less. Set yourself a deadline, and strive to meet this simple goal. Here's the point--after doing this a few times, you get your confidence up.  Then, you can try for a bigger goal.  Yes, I agree this is a simple concept--but I think it's excellent!  Whilst reading, I mentally made a goal for myself that I will strive to complete in 1 week.✔ All in all, an excellent book with lots of good advice.  Well written, well organized, positive tone--what more could you want?Highly Recommend!♫ A Review by Chris Lawson
