Foreword by Dr. Ben Carson!⍾⍾Learn what sets high achievers apart in this riveting tale of triumph over tragedy, from one of today's most successful entrepreneurs.⍾⍾On the surface, Terry Giles has a classic American success story. By 30, he built one of the largest criminal defense firms in Southern California and generated tens of millions in revenue working with high profile clients. By 34, he left the legal profession and achieved even greater success as an entrepreneur, seemingly overnight.⍾⍾But as Giles observes in The Fifteen Percent, no one goes through life without facing serious obstacles. Speaking from his own hard-won experience from a difficult upbringing to America's loftiest boardrooms, Giles answers the question that took him years to answer: Why do some people overcome hardships better than others?⍾⍾Giles attributes his own success to being part of "the fifteen percent" of people who are able to rise above despair and succeed against all odds. Using examples from his career and life-defending child sex abuse victims, his involvement in Monica Lewinsky's trial, and even managing Dr. Ben Carson's 2016 presidential campaign-he illustrates these ideas in action. In each chapter, you'll learn valuable skills including fearlessness; embracing underdog status; visualizing the future; and positive thinking; proving that you do not have to be a victim of bad circumstances to adopt the superpowers of "the fifteen percent."⍾⍾Entertaining, inspiring, and full of useful insights you'll turn to again and again, The Fifteen Percent will help you overcome whatever's holding you back, so you can achieve lasting success
