LOCAL AUTHOR SHARES SUCCESS STORY PRINCIPLES
Lakeland, FL – From Dirt Floors to Leadership, “LifeSkills” Reveals the Principles That Build Successful, Purpose-Driven Lives. In a world hungry for guidance, connection, and meaningful leadership, renowned publisher Larry G. Dobbs unveils his newest book, LifeSkills: Discovering Relationship and Leadership Skills, a practical, faith-infused roadmap for readers seeking fulfillment, resilience, and genuine influence in every facet of life.
Drawing on an extraordinary journey from the hardships of rural poverty to the boardroom as a multimillion-dollar entrepreneur, Dobbs distills decades of personal trials, business victories, and heartfelt faith into 15 core principles that anyone can apply—no matter their stage or station. LifeSkills stands apart from theoretical self-help books by delivering tangible tools, powerful storytelling, and timeless wisdom rooted in real-life experience and biblical truth.
“Success isn’t determined by your circumstances,” Dobbs insists, “but by your willingness to embrace change, lead with integrity, and build strong relationships at home, work, and beyond.”
Through candid anecdotes of setbacks, risk-taking, and moments of divine intervention, readers will discover how courage, integrity, and communication create the foundation for lasting impact.
The principles in this book were taught by Larry G. Dobbs for over twenty years to a 150-member study group that met at Victory Church in Lakeland, Florida.
