Joseph Dear

Joseph Dear was born and raised on the South side of Chicago, IL where he dropped out of high school after 2 years. Joe was encouraged to take and passed the GED, completed junior college, 4 years college and eventually completed his Doctorate in Counselor Education from Northern Illinois University. Joe’s first job after college was with Success Motivation Institute where he incorporated many of the principles of the late Paul Meyers and Clement Stone about being successful into his own lifestyle and in 1975 began writing what is now detailed in this book. In the space of those 40 plus years, through life experiences, readings, conference attendance, numerous seminars, workshops and several research projects, Joe has put on paper the many lessons learned, best practices and results from his research. The mechanism of how to get the job done is based on the latest research on getting things done. Joe began his professional role as counselor educator in 1976. He hopes to share secrets of counselors and personal life coaches in this 550-page book.
