Local real estate agent and Beatles fanatic Richard Courtney has teamed up with writer and analyst George Cassidy to publish "Come Together: The Business Wisdom of the Beatles." The book, published by locally based Turner Publishing, is a collection of motivational thoughts for aspiring entrepreneurs based on the Fab Four's lives and careers.

We all know when we meet or see someone who has that spark, from Steve Jobs at Apple Computers to cycling icon Lance Armstrong. They seem to be having the time of their lives, and they are kicking butt. That was the Beatles. They couldn’t have brought the same verve, the same brilliance, to anything but their music.

In life and in business, finding your passion, your mission, your bliss—is the single biggest distinguishing factor between Beatles style success and a world of also-rans. Think of it this way. There is a powerful engine inside you that is designed to do only one thing. Once you harness its power, it is self-sustaining, motivational, miraculous. It makes success almost inevitable.
