The book is a straight-forward, practical guide to differentiating your company, both inside and out, to create a winning strategy in your market. Mark developed a playbook for senior managers, while wrapping it in a great story with incredible people, to help the audience really experience each treasure. A must read for entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders!”

“One of the best business books I’ve ever read! All the major content of a graduate business course, but presented in an easy to read story. This is a must-read for any new manager or for an experienced manager who is looking to take their management experience to the next level”

“I absolutely love this book! I look forward to seeing it as the best-selling business book on the NYT’s best seller list. Thanks for bringing it to life. I found it easy to read, compelling, practical, and comprehensive. I am buying copies to hand out to all the leaders in our company with the first one going to my daughter (Katherine) as her strategic playbook for leading the company in the future.”

“Love it! I’m going to follow it.”

“This is fantastic! Very original approach...the tone and passion are consistent throughout...inspired me to implement many of the concepts.”

“The intriguing Ten Treasures framework drew me in. I like the diversity of the sages, especially the lesser known ones, and how each of their stories links to a clearly laid out strategy in the playbook. Anyone interested in growing as a leader or sustaining a successful business will get insights and practical ideas they can put to use right away.”

“I have known Mark Daly for 22 years. He has been one of my top business advisors during that time. I’ve known Mark to be an exemplary strategist, a world class musician, a remarkable artist, and a great friend. After reading the Ten Treasures, I can now tie all of his ‘off the chart’ virtues into a single collection of anecdotes. I know firsthand, the dream journeys were authentic and impactful because I have observed many of these leadership themes and professional management tools from my own experiences.”
