Author Exposes Inner Demons To Clear Path For Others’ Success

Oct. 4, 2008 - PRLog -- “I was self-destructing in my career and attacking people I felt had minor weaknesses or were incompetent. As if that wasn’t enough, I was mentally impaired and making bad decisions …” Are these the words of an alcoholic? A drug addict? Someone headed for bankruptcy?

Quite the opposite! They were written by Darryl E. Robidoux, a successful businessman who amassed enough wealth to retire from a prestigious position with Xerox at only 40 years old. Proving that even the richest of men have demons in their closets, Robidoux shares his imperfections, transgressions and weaknesses right alongside his achievements and triumphs in his book, Home After Dark: One Man’s Memoir, to help the average Joe or Jane– which let’s face it is most of us – realize ANYONE can make it big as long as they relentlessly pursue their goals.

However, Robidoux, who describes his younger incarnation as “self-possessed to a fault, brash and an inflexible contrarian, frequently thrusting his opinions on others,” also aims for readers to learn from his mistakes and catch themselves before they sink as low as he did to get what they want.

   From his birth behind a wood-burning stove in a home with no kitchen to his rapid ascent to the apex of the corporate ladder, Robidoux’s incredible journey inspires anyone who yearns to rise above their circumstances to achieve success on a level few could imagine.
