52 Card Pick-Up

Ed is a guy who discovered his successes were based, in large part, on the actions of others. He claims he is a wholly dependent person—and proud of it. He learned early that leveraging good intentions and effectively managing expectations were central to achieving optimal performance. Self-diagnosed with ADHD, Ed barely finished high school—but he found focus, inspiration, and opportunity working his way up the corporate ladder, ultimately attaining an MBA at the age of forty. At age forty-five, he built three Destination Harley Davidson dealerships in the Northwest, ultimately retiring at the tender age of fifty-six. This book contains fifty-two of Ed’s recommended steps for success. There are no doubt additional steps to achieve nirvana, but his ideas won’t inhibit the journey. According to Ed, if you’re going to succeed you need to be playing with a full deck—hence the title 52 Card Pick-Up. If you want to succeed in business . . . you need to play with a full deck.
