Review
No hype, just great easy-to-use ideas and strategies - truly inspirational. --Zoë Fakouri LLM, MCIPS

I love books that make a difference - easy to read, free of jargon, thought provoking and purposeful - a book for those people serious about life improvement. --Gill Fielding, The Wealth Company, (The Secret Millionaire, Channel 4)

This book, written in such an infectious and enthusiastic style, is extremely easy to pick up and read. It has approached the subject in a straightforward and logical manner, breaking it down into thought provoking readily digestible, manageable sections. Approaching the subject, as I did, with little knowledge of life-coaching, one cannot fail but to have one s usual mind-set challenged and to be inspired and stimulated onto a path of self-analysis and diagnosis and self improvement and increased personal aspiration. --Kim Hakin FRCS FRCOphth, Consultant Ophthalmologist

Whatever the word success means to you, this book covers it. Curly has a flowing style of writing and is easy to follow. This is a practical, yet fun, handbook and is full of useful tips and suggestions for how to achieve success in every area of life. Her warmth and enthusiasm infuse every chapter and she encourages the reader to take action in their own life through the use of case studies, advice and diagnostic boxes along the way. A highly recommended book for anyone wanting to improve their life and achieve success. --Terri Bodell FNACHP (Fellow of the National Association of Counsellors, Hypnotherapists & Psychotherapists)

Topping off a Terrific Trilogy

Curly Martin tops off a terrific trilogy in her `handbook' series with an intensive examination of the multi-faceted & elusive gem we know as personal success.
Here we are not only introduced to a whole host of subjects that can enhance our lives, but are treated to Curly's very own RAWPOWER model, borne from over two decades of her own personal success. I found this to be a highly useful tool that I could apply instantly to my life to help expedite success.


The Personal Success Handbook is written in Curly's warm & absorbing style once again, which makes the subject matter breathe with her fresh perspective & delightful humour. It offers the reader plenty of opportunity to reflect on what is being presented, as well as encouragement to take action to move us forward on our journey to success - something not always present in books of this nature.

Quite simply put, this book would be outstanding addition to the library of anyone who is serious about personal development; whatever your current level of achievement, the Personal Success Handbook will help propel you off the starting blocks down the track to YOUR personal success with a renewed perspective & inspired confidence

Grant Willcox - Success Coach - 2Excel Coaching

So interesting it was difficult to put down!
Curly Martin's Personal Success Handbook is well written and so interesting I found it difficult to put down. It contains stories, exercises to complete, questions to reflect on and a wealth of advice; all written in a succinct but informal style. It helped me to arrive at my own personal definition of success, giving me a clear picture of the direction in which I would like my life to take and an idea of how to get there.
This book covers a wide range of factors that may facilitate success, encouraging the reader to select those that might aid them, and use RAWPOWER to learn more. I enjoyed working through the exercises, for example identifying my short, medium and long term goals for a number of areas in my life. However, I ended up with so many goals that I felt quite overwhelmed. In order for these goals to be achieved, rather than just identified, I may need the expert help of a life coach.
I found the book inspiring and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how they might be more successful (however they define this term). It is then up to the reader to select the parts of the book that will help them most, and to work out their own personal recipe for success.

What a fabulous book!
An absolute must for anyone who wants to make the most of life. It's easy to read, inspiring, and offers page after page of really practical information, tips, exercises, and insights. I will be referring back to it often, because it will help me make the changes I want.

Curly's style is warm, generous, and refreshingly "to the point". No words are wasted, resulting in a book which is comprehensive & empowering. Recognising that we are all individuals, and we can each choose how we respond to and influence our life, Curly provides the means for powerful positive change, with integrity and generosity of spirit.
