The great book that will help you get off the “escalator” and tackle the work that leads to real success.
Take the Stairs is one of those reads which holds contentious topics, however the insight and claims the author makes are nothing but true. In a microwave based society where everything is desired with the speed of light, speaker and strategist Rory Vaden urges the importance that success is highly correlated with the amount of work that one puts in and that regardless of all the "over night successes", we simply have to avoid the mirage of an escalator and Take the Stairs. 

It is a great read for business as well as personal purposes. The book will change your view on how to run your business from an expensive hobby to a true, for-profit business. 

How do successful people achieve results? In short, they do it the old-fashioned way - with focus and self-discipline. Mr. Vaden presents a simple program for “taking the stairs”—that is, resisting the temptations of “quick fixes,” eliminating distractions, and transcending personal setbacks in order to reach your goals.

Whatever be your perspective of success, this continually proven program will help you get there—one stair at a time—and solidly.
