About the Author: Joseph Tom Riach was born and brought up in the Scottish city of Aberdeen and educated at its famous Grammar School, as indeed was Lord Byron in a previous era. A both precocious and introvert child, Tom was an obsessive footballer and sports follower and once set fire to the family home while lighting a camp fire in the sitting room. He also liked to write. In young adult life Tom's passion and drive saw him quickly become self-employed and, as a serial entrepreneur, he established, acquired and operated several small businesses. He learned that the success of his enterprises was dependant on the effective promotion and sales of the goods and services he provided and so concentrated his efforts on acquiring and practicing good sales skills. He quite soon came to the conclusion that employing good life skills and promoting himself as a trusted partner to potential clients was the most effective and enjoyable way of getting ahead. So what he learned to practice is the simple psychology of being happy at what you do and sharing that happiness with and helping others. As a result of his significant business and selling success, he was engaged to enlighten other companys' sales teams with regard to his success strategies, so what he taught was how to excel in selling through being a 'good person', employing relationship building techniques and helping people improve their situations. His unique approach meant that he had unwittingly become a life coach to the sales industry! It became somewhat inevitable therefore that Tom would in due course turn to writing about this central aspect of his success in life strategy. And in a modern world awash with self-styled internet gurus, lifestyle coaches and 'how to' merchants he stands out as one who has actually been there, seen it and done it and, as regards the t-shirt - he probably manufactured it!
