Customer Reviews

Perhaps one of the most under rated speakers/trainers

The late Mac Douglas was very active as a speaker/trainer in the 1970's. especially in the southeast. Aside from being a top trainer, he was also a top network marketer. His books, tapes and appearance were inspiring. This book in particular, How To Make a Habit Of Succeeding is quite good. Mac talks about habits and how some habits can be good. In this case, Mac Douglas suggests the habit of succeeding. I believe that Mac Douglas was/is one of the best trainers and also one of the most under rated authors ever as well. If you can find this book, read it. It's outstanding!
