"A note from the author: This book will be an inspirational, tough love, book for parents who want to help their children succeed without getting in the way, as well as those readers who want to get to the next level in their own lives. Sure, there's a lot of common sense involved, but I've found that most people are short on all the survival skills that go into building a successful career, from proper etiquette to the right outfit to projecting confidence from the moment you enter a room. I'll help thereader get their children and themselves on track for the brightest possible future. I'm Abby Lee Miller and that's what I do. I make stars. Each chapter of the book stems from one of my "Abbyisms," my unique and effective philosophies on fruitful, hard work, competition, and practical life tools. From figuring out what your youngster does well, to the formula for continuing success, to laying the groundwork for an exciting career, I know how to achieve optimal results in the dance studio and beyond. Of course, I'll share all the stories fans of my shows are eager to hear, and even get some of my shining alums to give their take on my unique approach and what it got them--all their dreams come true (and a house in the Hamptons!)"--
