About this title

From the Publisher:

This inspiring book provides readers with engaging stories, anecdotes and lessons covering the essentials of what they need to excel in their own careers. Among the lessons Shaw shares in PILOT YOUR LIFE:
· Create options when there appear to be none
· Stay open to opportunity, no matter how unlikely it appears
· Stand up for yourself, even when you think you don't have much leverage
· Innovation and inventiveness are the antidotes to "It will never work"
· Success is bred by a constant quest to improve

The book includes a foreword by Shaw's long-time friend Larry King of CNN and testimonials from well-known figures such as U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman and best-selling author Harvey Mackay. PILOT YOUR LIFE offers readers a chart for navigating through the treacherous waters of the business world and their careers.

From the Author:

"When you come from my neighborhood, success isn't a given. Yet ever since I was a kid, something inside of me has refused to buy 'It can't be done.' Some people are born with an attitude of achievement. Others can cultivate it."
