Truly enjoyed thisinspiring rags to richesstory from the owner of The Luxe Hotels empire. An amazing success story based on simple truths. How basic and how smart is the idea that showing up is key to succeeding: show up and demonstrate a strong interest in a job, or an opportunity, hey, then you are halfway home. Apply devotion and unflagging integrity in everything you get involved in. The story is told in a conversational fashion by million-selling rock writer Mark Bego.
