Success is such a funny thing because a) people define it differently and b) much of what seems to lead to success is actually counterintuitive to success. So what if you knew some of the key traits that typically bring success, no matter how you defined it -- and no matter how the tides shifted and times changed? Bob Harward has a book, "The Gouge," that talks of some of the keys to success and teaches how to rise above even the most difficult of situations.
