Success By Ten: George Russell's Top Ten Elements to Building a Billion-Dollar Business

Praise For Success By Ten

"George Russell, seeking to grow the company started by his grandfather, along the way invented a profession, investment management consulting, and created a highly respected major investment management organization. This book tells the story of his creative journey and spells out the lessons he learned, lessons invaluable to all business people, especially entrepreneurs or those seeking to grow small companies."

Michael J. Clowes, Editor at Large, Pensions & Investments and InvestmentNews

"If George Russell's principles became best practices for business and beyond, we would have a more prosperous people and a more peaceful world."¿

Sam A. Nunn, former U.S. Senator, Georgia

"George has lived an incredible life and his success is a tribute to the virtues he promotes: hard work, determination, and integrity."

William H. Gates Sr., Attorney, philanthropist, and author of the book, Showing Up for Life

"The principles that George followed in building a billion-dollar business are equally important in my work as a peace mediator. . . . If these principles would have been followed, we would have avoided the present financial crises. I therefore warmly recommend this book to everybody."

President Martti Ahtisaari, former President of Finland 1994–2000, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 2008

"A must read. . . filled with wisdom."

John C. Whitehead, former Deputy Secretary of State

"This book inspires and instills the wisdom necessary to excel in this global economy."

David Boren, former Governor and U.S. Senator, Oklahoma

"One needs to throw out a lot of those old management books. Success by Ten does for management what Russell has already done in so many other fields. This is an inspiring, profound, and easy read for existing and aspiring leaders alike."

John Edwin Mroz, President, EastWest Institute

"Readers of this book will enjoy a triple treat: an excellent business growth guide, a lively personal story of the challenges and excitement of the entrepreneurial life, and a clear and potent reminder of why living your good values really matters."

John R. O'neal, author of The Paradox of Success

"George Russell is...strategic and a nut for details, generous and loyal, and filled with integrity. What an extraordinary legacy."
