Success Secret: Chase Big Dreams, CEO Urges in Book on Harmony

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESSWIRE / February 3, 2020 / Because his parents bought a piano instead of a car, a Montana boy learned to chase and make big dreams come true.

“It was bold decision for my parents to buy a piano before they bought a car,” said Kevin Guest, bestselling author, musician and CEO of USANA Health Sciences (NYSE:USNA). “But they loved music so much that they put the priority of a piano over buying a car, which meant Dad rode his bike to work and took my mother on the back of his bicycle on trips to the store.”

Calling that example the Piano Principle in his bestselling book, All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony, Guest draws from life experiences in his early days in Montana as a musician and now as CEO of a global nutritional company to show executives how to attain harmony amid today’s pressures.

Speaking to tens of thousands of customers in China, Korea and Taiwan last month, Guest instilled the principle of working hard to achieve success in business and in life.

“My parents’ example inspired me to believe that when you really want something, just make it happen,” he said. “Because raw talent will only get you so far, I’ve learned only after countless dedicated hours of hard work will natural talent shine.

“For example, to earn money in high school, I played the bass guitar in bands, but my ability to play and sing together didn’t come easily. That skill took hours of practice and an unwavering commitment to my goals, but because I knew the Piano Principle, I didn’t give up.”

The work ethic of the Fab Four inspired Guest.

“The Beatles performed for 270 nights in just 18 months,” said Guest, who recalls his first musical gift as a drum set from the Sears catalog. “When they had their first success, the Beatles had already performed live nearly 1,200 times, which is extraordinary because most bands today don’t perform 1,200 times in their entire careers.”

The Piano Principle has application in all realms, including sports.

“Former NBA player Steve Alford said when he played with NBA legend Michael Jordan on the USA Olympics team, he was impressed that Jordan was always the first one on the floor and the last one to leave,” Guest writes.

Along with Michael Phelps’ tremendous natural talent, which propelled him to win a record 28 Olympic medals, the Olympian had a relentless commitment to doing whatever was required to achieve his goals.

“He trained for over 12 years, putting in thousands of hours in what he describes as ‘horrible, horrible workouts,'” Guest writes. “Phelps said, ‘You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.'”

Leading USANA’s billion-dollar nutritional supplement company in over 26 markets worldwide, Guest is on an 11-country tour to share his 12 principles with business leaders around the world.

“So much of life is understanding your passion and having the willingness and grit to turn it into something great. It’s easy to dream,” he said. “The hard part is doing the work, developing the grit and applying the Piano Principle.”

All proceeds from sales of All the Right Reasons is aimed at feeding two million meals to hungry children.

Available on Amazon, the book provides 40 meals for each single purchase. For more information, visit www.kevinguest.com.
