From the Author
The book is based on our own experiences, achieving our personal dreams as well as managing challenging projects for multinational companies. We both dreamt of becoming published authors – and we both are. We have climbed steep mountains, traveled to exotic places, started a successful consultancy company, broken a world record and much, much more. Our successful business projects were worth millions of dollars. Some had high probabilities of failure and impacted the lives of many people. We were lucky enough to do well as project managers and deliver the results expected of us. But this is not only about the big stuff. We’ve also achieved little dreams that matter to no-one else other than to ourselves. They are just as important.
We have each, independently, written and published books before, but it’s the first time we have written a book quite like this. We’ve done our best to make it as useful and fun to read as possible. We were lucky to meet some great people along the way, some of whom agreed to be guests in our book and share their dreams with us and with you. Others made awesome illustrations which make the book look and feel warm and friendly. We’re happy with the end result. We hope it helps you.
Enjoy!
Your friendly guides to achieving your dreams,
Richard Newton & Ciprian Adrian Rusen
