Frisco, TX – September 28, 2015 – Kevin Hodes recently joined a select group of business experts and entrepreneurs from around the world, along with Best-Selling Author® Jack Canfield, originator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, to co-write the book , “The Soul of Success, Vol.2 : The World’s Leading Entrepreneurs and Professionals Reveal Their Core Strategies for Getting to the Heart of Health, Wealth and Success”. The book was released on September 10th 2015 by CelebrityPress™ – a leading business book publisher.

On the day of release, The Soul of Success Volume 2 reached best-seller status in six US Amazon categories – reaching as high as #1 in the “Direct Marketing” category.  The book also reached  #7 in “Marketing,” #16 in “Marketing and Sales,” #22 in “ Entrepreneurship,” and #25 “Small Business and Entrepreneurship” categories. The Soul of Success became an international best-seller, reaching  #10 in “Direct Marketing” on Amazon in Canada. Kevin Hodes contributed a chapter titled “The Truth in Credit Card Processing.”

As owner and founder of Swypit, Kevin Hodes prides himself on bringing honesty and integrity to what he considers, the “slimy world of credit card processing.” A former chef aboard luxury yachts, his craft brought him into contact with business professionals, dignitaries and politicians, enabling him to develop “street smarts of business super highways.” Intrigued, Hodes turned from the galley to launching a business-consulting firm; a move that eventually led him to the world of credit card processing.

Hodes is quoted as saying, “I got into sales, but I brought my food service savviness of making things incredibly awesome all the time,” he said. “I found myself a little niche in the business—taking care of customers.”

CelebrityPress™ describes the book:

Success is a concept universally embraced but individually defined. Our definition of success truly depends on our individual goals. For example, your goal might be monetary, a physical accomplishment or a moral achievement. To flesh out this topic, we are adding a few comments made by famous and successful people in diverse fields – similar and familiar concepts to those put forward by the Premier Experts® in this book.

 Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

~ Booker T. Washington

You can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.

~ Napoleon Hill

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

~ Vince Lombardi

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

~ Thomas Jefferson

In our New Economy, the acquisition of success has been reformatted somewhat by business and industry even though its principles remain the same. The Electronic Revolution has changed the economic landscape as much as the Industrial Revolution. We now live more and more in “real time” and expect others to do the same. This era of instant communication has changed the ways in which we communicate and expect responses.

To succeed today, it is useful, perhaps essential, to have a mentor. Errors will be made, but to minimize them will speed up your journey. The Premier Experts® in this book will help you along the way. They have been there and know the road. Who would be better to guide you? They will illuminate your path to The Soul Of Success…

After such a successful release, Kevin Hodes will be recognized by The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™, an organization that honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.
