This book is a guide to those people who dream of achieving success in the corporate world. Most of us spend most of our lives working in the corporate world, and with a little pre planning and direction our corporate lives can be much more rewarding. The corporate world is full of riches, with top CEO’s earning tens of millions of dollars a year and that is just the bonus’s.

I have heard many times people say, “you never get rich working for someone else”. Well nothing can be further from the truth. The truth is that working in the corporate world is the most proven, direct and documented way to riches.

This book is not going to tell you how to short cut your way to the top by chopping and changing jobs. The shortcuts will come from performing exceptionally well, in a way that the right people notice. Don't expect to get to the top this year or next year or even in ten years, this is a program that will get you there faster than you would otherwise, and may save you from some career ending decisions, but you will have to do the time. Lets face it if you hit 45 and you are the CEO of a major corporation, you can consider yourself fast tracked to the top.

Many of us go into our career with no guidance at all, we do what we think is the right thing with barely a thought about where we are going, our main objective is to pay the rent and put food on the table, our careers take care of themselves, as we stumble our way up the corporate ladder, most of us not very far.

We often see other people doing well and wonder how they got to where they are. Well this book will tell you how and why some people seem to do better than others, and help you do the same.

The road to success in corporate is no secret, it is a well trodden path, and if you carefully plan your career you can fast track to the corner office and beyond. This book will help you put all the pieces in place, to ensure your career is both enjoyable and successful.

I had a fairly successful career in the corporate world. I started at the very bottom, cold calling selling insurance, there is no place lower than this, I assure you. I had no degree or qualification, except as a model, and with grim determination and a lot of hard work, I worked my way up the ladder, however there a many things I learnt the hard way, and there are many things I could have done better if I had a guide book like this to map out the way. My life would have been far more enjoyable, and my success far greater.

I hope this book to be the definative guide to corporate life, to be given to graduates as a present, and to be used as a guide for their careers.
