Success system that never fails.

A business book review.

Welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live, I'm Brian Pombo.

And today I'm going to be talking about this book, The Success System That Never Fails.

It says my first time reading this all the way through, I've caught sections of it throughout time, and I've heard a lot of people talk about it. It's one of those that is up there and held next to, Think and Grow Rich quite a bit.

Because W. Clement Stone is one of the ones that helped promote Napoleon Hill, more than anybody else. Since, I believe the 1950s is when he and Hill started teaming up, they wrote a book together, and he did a lot to make him basically the superstar that he is today, even though he had a lot of success with thinking Grow Rich years previous.

But he was able to really bring him into the final decades of his life. And W. Clement Stone then wrote this book on basically on his own, and kind of took some of Hill's ideas and simplified them.

But also added to them that concept of system, which we talk a lot about on here, about being system based, is one of the main three pillars of my company, BrianJPombo.com. System base is what it's all about and it's a huge piece of this book is about having something that functions while you're not there, even though he doesn't go far into depth as to the reasons why or all the benefits of it.

He does show in autobiographical form, how he has been able to build up a sale system over time. So this was built, this was a this book came out in the 60s.

I really like it, I like the style of it, because it's very simply written, it's in a very simple matter. It's not as flowery, or love, very poetic, like Napoleon Hill likes to go off, it's very straight to the point and gives really good quotes.

I wish I had a few of the quotes with me, I read this one on my phone. And I'm going to tell you how I read this because I think it might, it might help you. If you decide to go and read this book. And you don't want to purchase a physical book.

Actually, I'm going to get a physical version of it. That's how much I enjoyed it, it's is one I'd like to go back to over and over again, lots of great quotes. I went through and highlighted a whole bunch on my Kindle app on my phone.

And so

I read it in ebook form in Kindle form. At the same time, I purchased an audiobook version of it with someone else reading it. And it read through while I was reading it with my eyes, which I enjoy doing, especially if I could speed it up to the point to where I can get through a book a lot faster than I would on my own.

You're also kind of learning in in two different ways, both visually and audibly, which I enjoy. This is the first time I've done it with an entire book. And I really liked doing it that way. So that's that's a suggestion to you.

One of the one of the books that's out there on Kindle format, it is not a whole lot of attention was paid to it to make it match up completely with the audio book, even though they're tied together.

On the back end of Amazon, you could tell it was a slightly different version. Also, this was a scan scanned book that they didn't go through and correct all the letters in it. So some of the letters come out differently.

You end up with these odd words that show up on the written ...
