Great book with much inspiration!
I received this book as a gift and really enjoyed it cover to cover. It has many areas of inspiration that make you stop, take a breath, and really think. I bookmarked a few pages of my favorite quotes. I am happy to recommend this book and consider giving it as a gift to friends!

Got goals? Looking for some motivation? Get THIS book!
I'm a personal development junkie, so this kind of book gets my attention right away. What I didn't expect was a mirror to hold up and see what I was letting stand in the way of accomplishing my goals. Nor did I expect a format that lets me read Paul's quote on one page, form my own thoughts and then turn the page to get his explanation, insight or punch line. Oh and, by the way, Paul’s words are stark against a white space that he encourages me to use for my own musings. Now this book is a journal! Want to get the lead out and accomplish your goals? Read this book!

Buy this book, and don’t just read it…contemplate it. It will make your life better.
This is a book that truly makes you pause and think. Sad to say, but the truth is I rarely read the introductions in books. But for some reason, I read it in this book. It is very moving. It is inspiring. It proves that even though the odds are against you, you have the power to make something of yourself. Rather than take the easy way out and make excuses, you can make choices that lead you down a better path. This book is full of thought-provoking quotes. But my favorite is the very first quote. How true Paul’s comment…same words, big difference in meaning. Buy this book, and don’t just read it…contemplate it. It will make your life better.

Condensing decades of success into digestible mind candy, this book of quotes is a hidden gem. 💎
Designed for reading ease, to be written in, and re-read. This sucker’s layered! 📚
Taking action!
Giving pause...
Highly personal 🙏

This book delivers what it promises - insight, introspection, and motivation
I’ve been a fan of Paul Edgewater ever since I experienced his motivational lecture via a business event that had him as a guest speaker, representing Busy Bee Promotions. I still, to this day, have his book and quote card prominently displayed and readily available for reference at any time. I have followed him for years, always sourcing his words of wisdom and guidance, and interpreting it at my level, and applying that newfound knowledge to whatever it was I was building upon. Fast forward to now: Mr. Edgewater has written a book that, to me, is so profound—not only in its timing but of its current, in-the-now, look-inside-yourself era that we collectively are experiencing in 2019.
When I read the title—instantly, I had an “Aha!” moment. And I hadn’t even turned the cover yet! Not even past the foreword, I was emboldened and already reaching out to someone whom I’d had a disagreement with—because the instantaneous message I received from the title was my motivation. Then I got past the Foreward, on into the Preface, and then the Introduction—I was feeling a deeper knowledge of ME—and I haven’t even gotten to the quotes yet at this point!
To the author: Thank you for the insight. Thank you for sharing your endless, soulful gift of personal motivation and empowerment to the masses. Please know that the person and I that I had the disagreement with have since reconciled—and I owe it to your book for the opportunity to give pause [to come to the realization], take action, and “right the wrong.” I will be eternally grateful.Heather
Perfect Start To Our Day!
This book was a wonderful addition to our staff's morning meetings! Each day we received a quote that motivated and inspired our staff to maximize our potential professionally and personally. This is an amazing tool to utilize if you're seeking to boost office morale. Highly recommend.

The author shares his early life experiences when the book begins. For this reader, the information validates his expertise in what follows.
"You Could If You Would" is an entertaining way to look at life. I highly recommend it.
The writing is brief, yet provocative, precise yet open-ended, far-reaching yet easy to grasp. The format of presenting an idea, then inviting the reader to engage is a twist for this kind of book.

"The beauty of Paul Edgewater is that while he has much to share, he comes from the school of “I have much to learn.” And it’s that innate hunger for knowledge and humble approach that makes his ideas reliable—as they come from experience and not mere word-crafting.”

The Dropout Success Academy
Being resourceful when we have few resources
In this deeply personal talk, Paul tells the story of his unlikely success; from being an out of control, high school dropout, to owning multimillion-dollar marketing firm, Busy Bee Promotions, Inc., with Fortune 100 firms as clients; a journey decades in the making and built on the concepts of personal development.

Paul can relate to anyone from at-risk youths to seasoned CEOs, with a powerful message that shines a light on all of the options and opportunities available to anyone willing to put in the effort to make the most of their lives, embrace personal development and take responsibility for their actions and decisions. It's never too late to succeed.
Classic Selling Techniques
Close the deal!
In 2014, Steve Forbes' publisher selected Paul to write the chapter on sales for Forbes' latest book and there's a good reason for that. Paul has been selling his entire professional life, takes his craft very seriously and has the track record to prove it. This lively and dynamic program will remind your sales team how SIMPLE selling really is without glossing over the fact that it isn't EASY. Sometimes your sales force gets overwhelmed with new presentation and closing techniques, as well as the latest technologies designed to streamline processes. That's all fine, but Paul advocates practicing the basics of sales before getting too fancy. Without a foundation of the fundamentals, the new techniques collapse. Paul's successes in sales include careers in outside and inside sales; automobiles, home improvements, display advertising, premium vacuum cleaners, and radio time sales. Nowadays, he sells his current company's marketing services to clients from startups to Fortune 100 firms with a closing ratio north of 50% on cold leads and countless millions in revenue. Paul keeps this talk interesting with role-playing, colorful anecdotes and funny experiences learned from over 40 years in the trenches.

His lively presentation will energize your team and create amazing and lasting results! His teaching style will include workshops, role-playing and real-life examples learned from the trenches. Be prepared to take a lot of notes, have fun and sell out!
The Influence Of Branded Vehicles
Get your business or cause success on the road!
If your business has a fleet of vehicles, give that fleet another role; marketing your products and/or services while on the road (or parked)! In this informative program, Paul will share his experiences in the dynamic industry of branded vehicles (graphic wraps, experiential marketing, mobile platforms, etc.). He shares best practices learned on the road to his own success with examples of vehicles he and his company designed and built-out for Fortune 100 companies like Starbucks, AT&T, and Coca-Cola. Your eyes will be opened to the opportunity to realize a higher R.O.I. than with any other advertising medium—even if your company's fleet is comprised of just one vehicle. Topics covered: What type of vehicles make the best candidates for branding your product(s)/service(s). Dos and don'ts with creative and copy. Which surfaces on the vehicle should communicate which messaging. And so much more! Paul is pictured here with one of his designs for illy ready-to-drink-coffee.
