The first of the popular “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books was rejected by more than 40 publishers. Finally, a small Floridian publisher finally agreed to publish it — and since then, it’s been a smash success. The first book sold more than 2 million copies, and there are now more than 105 titles in the series, and it’s in print in 54 languages worldwide.

You’d think whoever’s idea it was to create the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books would have given up after receiving so many rejection letters from publishers. Lucky for Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, who compiled the first book, they kept going, and kept trying to find a publisher. Now, the Chicken Soup for the Soul series is responsible for around 600 million in retail revenue.

Jack Canfield, one of visionaries of the Chicken Soup books, clearly believed in raising self-esteem through motivation; he is well-known as a speaker and self-help writer, and is the founder of the “Self-Esteem Seminars.” He also appeared in the DVD “The Secret,” where he shared his insights about the Law of Attraction.

Brad Sugars recently interviewed Canfield for his “Master Mentors” series. Watch it here now!

The Yankees won the World Series.

The Yankees have been to the World Series 40 times, and have won it 27 times. The next closest team who are after the Yankees? The LA Dodgers with 18 visits to the World Series, and only six wins.

Is it coincidence that a team that spends top dollar hiring the best people becomes the best?

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: it pays to invest.

Founder and CEO of ActionCOACH Brad Sugars has a new audio interview series “Master Mentors,” a thought-provoking series of exclusive interviews between Sugars and various successful entrepreneurs, business elite, available for free on the ActionCOACH website.

Sugars’ goal with these interviews was to help others discover the insights and secrets top business visionaries use to drive their success. He wants to accomplish three things with this series: give people access to great business mentors and their advice, up-to-date learnings, and actionable matter that isn’t just theory, but can lead to results.

“These are people I learned about business from,” Sugars said. “They all have a passion for teaching and enjoy passing on their knowledge to people. And when I chose people for this series, I chose people who don’t just teach, they live by principle. These people all have a proven track record that shows they know what they’re talking about.”

His first interview was with Brian Tracy, a best-selling author and motivational speaker who has helped more than 4 million people achieve their goals.

Upcoming episodes of the series will feature Jeffrey Gitomer, notable speaker and author, and Michael Losier, author of Law of Attrraction.
