Giffird's Hope
Planning for Success

Giffird spent much of his time planning for success by reading and studying everything he could. He was taught from a very early age that “The Holy Bible” was the most important book ever written. Giffird loved to read and he had gathered a large collection of books. Three of his personal favorites were: 1.) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill; 2.) The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale; and 3.) How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

In 1968 Giffird was 16 years old and had officially organized and founded his first small business after being motivated by what he learned from these books.
