GIVERS University to teach others worldwide about GIVERS and Takers.
IT STARTED WITH A VOW
Over 40 years ago, at the age of 18 years old, the author of the three-book GIVE TO BE GREAT series, met a multimillionaire named Sam Robbins. The author recognized that Sam was not only wealthy in terms of money, but, also wealthy in terms of Happiness, Freedom and Greatness. The author asked Sam if he would consider personally mentoring him. Sam agreed save one condition he required. The condition was that when the time was right, and the author was told that he would know when that time was, the author would share the knowledge and secrets of Happiness, Freedom and Greatness with the worldwide mass population to the benefit of current and future generations. The author agreed to the condition and the vow was made. That author is E. A. Csolkovits.
Sam took the E.A under his wing when he was 19 years old and became the father he never had, even though he had a biological father.
Upon Sam’s death in 1991, the time Sam had foretold had arrived, and the E.A knew in his heart it was time to fulfil the vow he made 17 years earlier. Sam’s teachings and shared thoughts on both being a GIVER and Happiness, Freedom and Greatness helped lay the foundation for this series of 3 books. The author E.A then began the long process of accumulating, assembling, classifying, testing and refining the knowledge he received from his mentor, plus added to this the analyzed knowledge of more than 1,000 Exceptional individuals. It was through their informational contributions that the author began to see those common attributes and specific actions which all of these successful people shared. These observations helped to sift down the way they thought (their mindset), their lifestyles (the way they lived their lives), and their commitment to lifelong learning (their dedication to personal growth and development) and knowledge. After 40 years, the compendium of research was prepared to be shared with the mass population through the “GIVE To Be Great™” series.
E. A. Csolkovits was born in 1956 in Chicago, Illinois. His humble beginnings were that of the son of a milkman. At age 16, he started his business career at a commission sales job selling janitorial services to business owners. At the age of 19, E. A. Csolkovits met Sam Robbins, a millionaire business man from Detroit, Michigan. Sam took E. A. Csolkovits under his wing and began to mentor him.
E. A. Csolkovits began working for Sam at the House of Holland Jewelers in the diamond business. In 1980, Sam established a private grant meant to be a part of his legacy due to his lifelong fight with diabetes. Due to this grant in 1980, Sam and E. A. Csolkovits began to formulate heart-healthy and Wellness nutritional foods and drinks. Over the next 45+ years,
E. A. Csolkovits was blessed with the following business and personal achievements.
• Chairman of House of Holland Jewelers at 21 years old.
• Started and operated Columbia Nutrition System, consisting of an international workforce organization of over 10,000 managers and professionals.

Heather Dugan, author of The Friendship Upgrade: Trade Clickable Connections for Friendships that Matter. We’ve grown disconnected. Many of us live amidst strangers as we tally up Facebook friends-the new collectable you don’t have to dust and settle for “Soon!” It’s often easier for an adult woman to find an online date than a real-life friend in her own neighbourhood. The Friendship Upgrade illuminates the growing issue of personal isolation and equips women to exchange clickable connections for real-time, face-to-face friendships. Through the deeply personal stories of real women, it examines our varied routes to isolation–divorce, an emptied nest, increased mobility–as well as the impact of technology, over-efficient living, and the patterned choices that can root us in chronic loneliness. More importantly, this book provides both a roadmap to creating anchoring connections and a model for building community with the disconnected “you go first” women around us who are silently hoping for the same outstretched hand.
Women need friendship. Not in an unhealthy, life preserver sort of way but in the organically good capacity of illuminating grow lights. In the right light, solid female friendships counter-balance the uneven weight of major life transitions and help us to be our best selves often, better people than we dreamed we might be.
Award-winning author, Heather Dugan, is the founder of Cabernet Coaches®, an “all ages, all stages” group for women that fosters self-betterment through face-to-face friendships and social connection. Her 2015 book, Date Like a Grownup: Anecdotes, Admissions of Guilt & Advice Between Friends, was a finalist (self-help/relationships) in the USA Book Awards and the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and she speaks on topics pertaining to dating, relationships, social connection, and effective interpersonal communication. She has also worked as a professional voiceover talent for more than twenty-five years.
An Indiana University alumna, Heather resides in Columbus, Ohio, but is an avid traveller and outdoor enthusiast who keeps hiking poles and her passport within easy reach. The proud mom of three adult children, she blogs about relationships, transitions, and better living at Tips from the Tightrope on her author website.
