So, you may be asking why in the world would a marketing and business strategist be reading and talking about a relationship book. Well, it’s really because there are all kinds of subjects that fascinate and intrigue me, but also because relationships are relationships to some degree and the more you know about people, how…
“Learning How To Avoid The Gap” by Dan Sullivan is a small, quickly read book packed with powerful strategies (and by now you know how much I like strategy). At only 30 pages, I’m not sure it should even count as having read a book, but the information packed inside of it certainly does. The…
If you’re like me, the thought that first might occur to you is that “Meatball Sundae” is an odd name for a marketing book. Being a big Seth Godin fan, I was sure the book would be worth the read, and I was not disappointed. I don’t think you will be either…I highly recommend you…
I knew by the title I was going to get a kick out of this book and it didn’t disappoint. This is the first Larry Winget book I have read even though I’ve heard about him for a while now. “It’s Called Work For A Reason: Your Success Is You Own Damn Fault” by Larry…
I’ve spent a lot of time working on myself over the past year or so and a colleague and friend put a video up of Brene Brown a few months ago and after watching it I knew I had to have more of her because she was talking about things I was working on. This…
“Leaving Microsoft to Change the World” by John Wood, the founder of Room To Read is an amazing story, journey and is very inspirational to any of us who want to make a real difference in the world in a philanthropic way. The subtitle, “An Entrepreneur’s Odyssey to Educate the World’s Children” is truly what…
This is a small book of only about 85 pages, so it’s a pretty quick read. I’m not a fast reader by any stretch of the imagination, and it doesn’t help my reading speed that I always read with a red pen and yellow highlighter in hand. Even at my speed, I finished the book…
This book was a pretty quick read and I finished it in just a couple days. It’s a powerful book, written in a story format, all about a janitorial company that significantly reduces its turn over, and dramatically increases profits while changing lives, by helping their employees achieve their dreams. Some of them become home…
“The Thank You Economy” by Gary Vaynerchuk, is my favorite book that I have read so far this year. This is a down-to-earth, practical, tell it like it is book, on social media and marketing. I especially like Chapter 3 where Gary talks about the reasons why some very smart people dismiss the use of…
Scott Straten’s ” UnMarketing” is a book about relationship marketing and how to build relationships effectively online and more specifically using Social Media. The subtitle of the book, ” Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.” is the basis for the book. While I agree with Scott Stratten that we all need to be more engaging, especially in…
