West Hollywood, CA - September 8, 2014 - Berny Dohrmann, Chairman of CEOSpace International, a global entrepreneur educational network, has announced the addition of nationally-known freelance business journalist Scott S. Smith to the faculty of its bimonthly seminars held in Henderson, Nevada, starting on October 10, 2014.

"I will be talking to business owns from around the world about what they can learn from studying the careers of famous people, past and present," Smith said. "In my new book, Extraordinary People: Real Life Lessons on What It Takes to Achieve Success," I examine a wide variety of high-achievers who overcame adversity, from Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, and Indra Nooyi, CEO of PepsiCo, to Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Jim Henson of the Muppets. There are attitudes and actions anyone can emulate to help them reach their goals. Surprisingly, by reading about people in entirely different fields, we can get perspective on how to solve our own problems. Role modeling mega-successful people embeds the lessons into the subconscious to help people harden their determination and liberate their creativity when facing obstacles."

Smith has dedicated a website to the book: ExtraordinaryPeopleBook.com. It provides more in-depth case studies than those he contributes to the "Leaders & Success" column of Investor's Business Daily www.investors.com. Smith has owned or managed a dozen small companies, which informs his writing about business management.
