Self-Made in America: Plain Talk for Plain People about the Meaning of Success
McCormack, called "the hottest entrepreneur in America" by Inc. magazine, examines the components of success and how individuals can go about achieving it. He tells of his own experiences from working as a New York City policeman to becoming a Wall Street trader and entrepreneur. After a major financial loss on Wall Street when he was 25, McCormack received invaluable counsel from a mentor. This teacher and other entrepreneurs who advised McCormack were immigrants who through their intelligence, ingenuity, and diligence had achieved success. Subsequently, McCormack and his wife established Visible Changes, a chain of hair salons. Among his suggestions for success are to pursue an ambition that you really want to pursue; look inward and not outward for support and encouragement; and focus on the present and future. This practical and inspirational book is highly recommended.- Lucy Heckman, St. John's Univ.
