Editor reviews

Young and successful Australian businessman John McGrath uses his own personal transformation as the basis for You Don't Have to be Born Brilliant, an audiobook that motivates listeners to achieve success in life. Based on his own experience, McGrath believes that too many people "drift", when they should really passionately experience life and pursue goals in order to get the things they want. With his calm and charismatic delivery, McGrath's words are testament to his popularity as a motivational speaker, and listeners will discover an array of helpful information on how to achieve success in finances, business, health, and relationships.

Summary

John McGrath is one of Australia's youngest and most successful businessmen. With a forecast turnover of almost a billion dollars, his residential real estate company, McGrath Partners hasn't put a foot wrong. Why do some people make it to the top while others don't? Does being at the top matter? Does money equal success? John McGrath would argue no to both those points - success is more than that, and it needn't be either.

John's philosophy takes in the whole picture of success, from goal setting and focus to taking care of your health and behaving ethically (nice guys don't finish last), living with failure and having a 30-day plan.

Much in demand as a motivational speaker, John McGrath shares the secrets of his well-rounded real success.

Critic reviews

"It takes only a few minutes of listening to John McGrath to know he’s the real deal in this satisfying lesson on living your best life. He's a successful Australian entrepreneur, so there are business references, but the focus is on personal strategies—for being clear about our options, resolute about choosing our mental approach, and persistent in our efforts. Though his exercises and strategies are sophisticated, his relaxed and humble tone makes his suggestions sound accessible and familiar. With a smooth speaking voice that inspires a palpable connection with the listener, he explains how a few shifts in attitude, self-awareness, and habits can help us achieve more of what we want with our health, finances, business, or relationships."

Good book

A good book with solid actionable advice. I enjoyed it and having John read it the pace was good. Covers a lot of topics.
