Seeds of Success is a self-help book written in the form of a parable. The book addresses the notion of success at the workplace, or ‘on-the-job success’. It starts by informing the readers that successful people are aware of some ground rules that unsuccessful people don’t know about. The author maintains that these rules are not taught at business schools, nor are they explicitly written down in any company. The parable that follows reveals these secret rules. The story of Seeds of Success is set in Mississippi during the 1930s. It touches upon the five aspects of achieving professional success. The book helps readers create opportunities for themselves, gain the respect of their peers and colleagues, increase their work efficiency, enjoy their work, maximize their inner potential, and as a result, move up the professional ladder. Jack Myrick is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author from Oklahoma. His previous books, The Shipbuilder: Five Ancient Principles of Leadership, and The Merchant: Planting Your Own Seeds of Success on the Job also deal with management principles, and are aimed at helping people explore their potential. Myrick is the President of Myrick Enterprises, and the Director of Business Services at Public Strategies, a project management company. He lives in Edmond, Oklahoma, with his wife Linda and three daughters.
