About this ebook

Destination Success is a fable told for anyone that wakes up, and heads to work wondering if there is more to life. Do you feel professionally unfulfilled? If you do, you are not alone. There is an army of people that look and act just like you. And if that describes you, then this story will be one of hope, if only to inspire you to survey your life, and make the necessary changes to elevate it. Together, we can manifest great change in your life. Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Our story will be one of courage—the courage to take great risk to find great reward.

There were light moments in some chapters, which made the reading easy. Sri Gaddam knows business and also knows where to add in a little humor. The author makes the reading easy and comfortable for readers of all levels. Every page has information that is helpful either in one’s personal life, entrepreneurial journey, or professional life. The author has written guidelines that will help people balance the two, a problem that many people who are struggling to climb the career ladder face. Even with the formulas shared in the book, the author reminds every reader that it is their personal responsibility to make things work. The systems in place may not be reliable but what are you doing as an individual to improve your situation? The author’s tone is friendly but also firm. Sri Gaddam wrote this book to push everyone who reads it to be better. The tone in the book is inspiring and what anyone who feels stuck needs. I liked the parts in the book where the author went raw with life happenings. He talks of challenges people face and discusses consequences for every action.
