PRAISE FOR The PLEDGE
"I've been an admirer of Michael Masterson's work for many years, which is why I was so happy to see him tackle the all-important subject of his latest book. What I especially like is that he didn't take the route of many self-development authors and simply offer worn-out, generic advice. For those serious about improving their lives--personally, socially, and financially--Michael has laid out a clear road map to success. The Pledge is loaded with practical, simple, effective strategies that really work."
--ROBERT RINGER, author of To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? and Restoring the American Dream
"This wonderful, warm, insightful book is loaded with great ideas and practical methods that help you to achieve more in every area of your life."
--BRIAN TRACY, author of Getting Rich Your Own Way
"What a happier, richer, more satisfying world this would be if everyone could be personally mentored by Michael Masterson, as I've been. Unfortunately, that's simply not possible. But here's the next best thing. In The Pledge, Michael doesn't just challenge you to achieve the things you really want. He reveals the specific, concrete steps to make it happen. You can't put a price on this kind of knowledge. And I don't know anyone who wouldn't benefit from reading this book."
--ALEXANDER GREEN, Investment Director, The Oxford Club; author of The Gone Fishin' Portfolio: Get Wise, Get Wealthy . . . and Get On with Your Life and The Secret of Shelter Island: Money and What Matters
"As a lifelong believer in taking action, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Masterson's latest (and, in my opinion, greatest) book. The minute you begin reading you will be saying 'Yes! I can do this!' and your success-oriented mindset will take flight. Michael clearly articulates that the doing-nothing method guarantees failure whereas doing something guarantees results. Take the pledge today . . . not tomorrow . . . not next week . . . TODAY! This book outlines your CALL TO ACTION."
--BOB COX, Director of Early to Rise/The Total Success Achievement Program's Epiphany Alliance; author of Flip the Success Switch and The Billionaire in You
