From the mailroom, to the corner office, to the boardroom - here are the words of wisdom that will inspire executives at any level of business to achieve success in their career and in all aspects of their life.
When successful entrepreneur and author John Capozzi was asked to write about how he received 13 promotions in 13 years in corporate America, he captured his formula for success in a series of quotes and sayings that he wrote or collected. Here is the "best of" his collection of business and life maxims. This collection has been called an invaluable resource for speechwriters and those seeking to motivate their employees. It is also a perfect blueprint for any junior or senior executive who wants to succeed in corporate life. Getting It Done will be kept and used for years as a valuable resource. It will earn its place next to the dictionary and thesaurus in anyone's personal library.

A SPIRIT OF GOLF: Stories from Those Who Love the Game is a collection of stories - heartwarming to humorous, educational to inspiring - from those who love the game. Whether you are a weekend enthusiast, seasoned professional, or anything in between, you will be entertained and inspired by these stories from the clubhouse.
Golf stories such as: the "midnight lesson" given to a reputed mobster, the ingenious construction of the special club designed for Alan Shepard's famous moon shot, and the teaching professional who boldly told Clint Eastwood that he must listen more carefully... and then realized he had just upset "Dirty Harry." How about the PGA member who asks Bill Gates to leave his driving range, or the unbelievable odds of four amateur golfers playing together in a local tournament and each achieving their first holes-in-one on four different par-3s on the same day?
"A SPIRIT OF GOLF is a wonderful tribute to the men and women who are, collectively, the backbone of the great game of golf. It should be enjoyed by all who read it."
