.Good to Great CD: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
from: HarperAudio

June 14, 2005
Stock findings aside, this book has good talent management strategies, including getting the right people on the bus and making sure everyone is going towards the same goal. Nothing revolutionary, but still helpful. I also found the monograph Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great helpful in the non profit arena.

.The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Unabridged Audio Program)
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: Stephen R. Covey

September 27, 2004
For anyone who is into the pursuit of personal development, then this will be right up your alley. The only words of warning that come with it are ; "do not come looking here for a quick fix or a bandaid solution". Mr Covey speaks of concentrated effort based on important priciples which are covered in the audio and are by no means something for an overnight solution.

.The 4-Hour work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: Timothy Ferris

April 24, 2007
I would go so far as to call this book subversive. That's pretty much the best word for it. If, like me, you've grown up being told about the benefits of hard work, 8 till 8 days, 6 days a week, just one holiday a year, and just pay a shedload of taxes like everyone else to support cretins in government, then this book comes as a revelation. For years now I've suspected that this treadmill was a lie (and I'm pretty successful too) generated by adevertisers who want us to consume and governments who want a share of the sweat off our brow, then along comes this young guy and tells it like it really is.

I can see why some people will detest this book, but to appreciate what Ferriss is saying, you really have to think that the western treadmill ... Read More:

.The E-Myth Revisited CD : Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to do about it
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
from: HarperAudio

June 01, 2004
Do you own a small business? Do you feel burned out, broken, wondering if you ever want to step foot inside your place of business again? If this sounds like you and you haven't purchased this book then you are doing yourself a huge disservice. This book will change the way you view your business and help you to get back on the right track. I listened to only the first CD and the next day revamped my entire business as if someone took the shroud from my eyes.

I highly recommend this book to new business owners through veteran business owners. Rock solid principles that help so many of the wrongs you've made in the past with your business mindset.

WARNING: Not willing or ready to listen and change, don't bother then, you clearly ... Read More:

.The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: Naomi Klein

September 18, 2007
Naomi Klein has exposed Milton Friedman and the "Chicago Boys" just as Ida Tarbell exposed John D. Rockefeller in an earlier time. In other words, beware of those who worship "markets"--usually such worshippers leave out the fact that the only capitalistic enterprises they worship are the ones they control. Any competing companies (or schools of thought) must be destroyed.

Is it any wonder that Friedman became a god at the University of Chicago, the House that Rockefeller built? Rockefeller destroyed the lives of his competitors, and was anything but a free market man. He and men like Carngegie didn't believe in capitalism for others--they were monopolists, and used government to protect their monopolies, just as the multinationals do today.

This is a great way to get over some of the hang ups we have about selling to people. It is great to listen to over and over to get the suggestions in your head so you can use them to help you get more sales and make more money.

.The SPEED of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
from: Simon & Schuster Audio

October 17, 2006
A friend and collegue called me from a, "Speed of Trust" workshop, and said that I had to read this book - it was so great. My friend is a decent writer himself, and I trust his judgement. However, he did not actually read the book. He attended the workshop. From that I conclude that the workshop and concepts are probably good, which is why I gave it three stars instead of two. Nevertheless, I could not get past the poor writing. I struggled through the first two chapters and had to set the book aside.
