GUTS

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Sam Bracken is a great American "Hero" that followed his "Gut" to a very successful life. As a close, personal friend for over 30 years I can attest that his experience is a testimony of "truth" that all of us can follow. Follow your 'Gut" can be applied to all the pillar of a successful life... health, wealth, love and happiness."



Johnny Porter

Executive Vice President

CBRE, Inc. "Many in the field of motivation talk about personal resolve, proactive choice, determination, and grit. I call this the blah, blah, blah...it's just talk! In Sam's book GUTs , he gives us his personal life experiences that help anyone understand how to overcome obstacles, set a big vision, and define a life of purpose greater than self. He teaches how anyone can reach deep inside and develop a clear path that inspires love, GUTs , and the will to achieve success."



Michael K. Simpson, CEO of Simpson Executive Coaching and author of Unlocking Potentialand Your Seeds of Greatness. "It takes GUTs to spill your guts in a book and then to share it with the world. I can't think of a better title or subject for Sam to write about. He is the subject matter expert on what it takes to succeed in every way considering the challenges he faced as a youth. Sam is actually proud of his upbringing-it made him the man he is today. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to prove that they have the GUTs to succeed."

self-discovery which both inspires and educates tremendously. Yet the main

focus of this work stems in the ardent teaching of something Sam truly

believes in and is passionate about--learning how to dig deep and listen

pursue it! Definitely a GUTsy read!"

This book will help you prosper by connecting with that ennobling voice."

Crystal Nyman, Blue Diamond Wellness Advocat for Doterra Essential Oils "As a former college quarterback myself, I know how tough it is to make the team, even with plenty of advantages.

Thanks to Bracken we can all have GUTs and the success that follows.



In this selfie-driven, blame-everyone-else culture, Bracken puts the responsibility for change and success on the only place that matters-one's self! But he does not leave you alone. He gives you the inspiration and tools to move forward powerfully in the right direction!"



David Horsage, author and speaker "Sam's storytelling will engage you from the very first sentence and challenge you to become a better version of yourself, reach new levels, and live your unique purpose. This is a must read for anyone who has heard that inner voice to change, but can't seem to make it happen!"



Patrick Leddin, PhD, Associate Professor and author of Oliver's Spot "Sam has done it again, GUTs typifies his core, his character and the passion by which he lives. Sam from his childhood was forced by NO fault of his own make hard choices under extreme circumstances. That takes GUTs ! When it comes to excuses, Sam, simple does not know the meaning of that word."
