Author Richard St. John speaks on the eight traits that all successful people have in common (3 minute video)

After interviewing over 500 highly successful people from a wide variety of professional fields, Richard St. John analyzed and distilled their thoughts on success to develop his book The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common: 8 to Be Great. Though his standard lecture on this subject typically runs over two hours, he captures the essence of all that he has learned in this 3 minute video from the 2005 TED conference in Monterey California.
