Summary

Soul of Success is not a how-to guide to riches and fame. What Ephren wants to do is give readers an insight into his life and some ideas about getting the readers mind aimed in the right direction. It isn't wearing certain clothes, reading the right books or going to a certain school that lifts a man or woman up in the world. It's your way of thinking that will make you successful in life. Ephren teaches that each person possesses all the ammunition, motivation and creativity they need to make it. At least that is what Ephren discovered. Soul of Success gives readers the insight into how Ephren and other successful people think. The way he looks at it is this - he can't give each reader a road map but he can give a compass. A compass can't tell you which road to take but it will always tell you if you're headed in the right direction.
