Your business should produce both time and money, not just money.

Eye opening with no fluff

Really good information, some of which challenged my thinking and ways of doing business. No fluff, just really sound suggestions. I will buy the workbook/book now because there are exercises that I want to do that didn't translate in the audiobook well enough for me to implement them.

I would listen to this again, though, to keep my thoughts focuses on the right areas for growth. Thanks, Chuck.

awesome blueprint to focus

this is not a great book for reading only while commuting. It is very practical with some stop and do it exercise that will help you gain clarity on where you are going and when you will get there.

Process mapping

Do the apex profile and freedom mapping and your on your way. 2-3 years max

Simple, go the point & effective

Been running businesses for a while and I loved this book for its simplicity and straight forward nature. No hocus pocus just solid easy to follow advice designed to help small businesses grow.

Title: The Charisma Myth

Subtitle: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism (Int'l Edit.)

Author: Olivia Fox Cabane

Narrator: Lisa Cordileione

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-08-15

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 61 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

What if charisma could be taught?

For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out, and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial.

What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab and every person you meet a chance to experiment.

The Charisma Myth is a mix of fun stories, sound science, and practical tools. Cabane takes a hard scientific approach to a heretofore mystical topic, covering what charisma actually is, how it is learned, what its side effects are, and how to handle them.

Critic Reviews:

"Fox Cabane's distinct writing style...makes listening to each chapter both informational and fun. Each exercise is practical and easy...If you are interested in increasing your ability to be charismatic in your unique setting or employment, this audiobook will give you direct skills to use." (

awesome book

loved it great book on how become good at selling life insurance. Must get and a must have

Dont waste your time.

At least 30 minutes of the reading is literally repeated. I dont know if someone was trying to increase the length of this short book or the editing was that poor.

This book is not about insurance sales.

Nothing comprehensive or unique

I was hanging on hoping for a nugget, but these are all well-covered and known topics for anyone in the sales profession. Unless you're new to sales, this isn't worth your time.

Not related to life insurance sales at all.

This book is a short collection of very basic sales tips. There is nothing of value here in regards to life insurance sales. The book often repeats itself for no reason. Dont waste your time on this.

Disappointed

So sorry I picked this book. It was not what I expected. Nothing about the sale of life insurance.

It was more about building a business.

Release date: 05-19-15

Publisher: ClydeBank Media LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 60 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Lean, total quality management, and process improvement. If you're in the business world, you've undoubtedly heard these terms - from your supervisor, from a client, or from someone talking shop in the break room.

Perhaps you have a decent understanding of these concepts, or maybe you have absolutely no idea what they mean. What's most significant is that you know they are important, that they are not just business buzzwords. You understand that it is critical to your career that you understand these concepts - that's why you are here.

Now that you have realized the significance of the Lean business model and all the concepts, techniques, and philosophies that it brings to the table, where do you start in the learning process, you ask? Right here.

Don't get overwhelmed by the long books that simply have too much information and are impossible to follow. In the Lean QuickStart Guide, we will teach you what you need to know to get up and running with Lean.

You'll understand the fundamentals that form the Lean business model, so you can incorporate it into your business wheelhouse within hours.

Learning for academic purposes? We have you covered too. We will take an academic approach to the Lean business model as well as looking at real-world practical applications in the business environment.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Members Reviews:

Precise, concise - lean

Exactly what I bargained for - a quick, fact-based explanation. I didn't expect or want a story or someone's aphorisms. I also admit I liked the reader's accent. Well worth the price and the time required to listen.

Good introduction

What three words best describe Lucy Vests voice?

British, clean, understandable

Any additional comments?

This is a great introduction to LEAN and definitely a doorway to wanting to know more about it.

Quick, clear, concise

Enjoyed the quick overview and has given me several ideas as to which areas I should focus my learning of the Lean and Six Sigma principles.

Ok content, poor narration

Ok content but really poor narration. the person has a strong accent and its almost as she rushes through reading to just get through the content. I wouldn't purchase again.

Great overview of Lean Manufacturing

This is the second book I've listened to by Clydebank Business on the topic of agile methods, project management techniques and related topics. I was sent a free review copy.

Clydebank's books are excellent bird's-eye views of the subject matter and this one is again accompanied by an included free PDF file to enhance the audio content. You don't need to actually have the PDF which contains some infographics and diagrams to hand but it is helpful and a nice touch.

Listening to this book will teach you what "lean manufacturing" means, why you might want to consider it as a business process and the advantages and disadvantages it offers. Lean manufacturing is in essence a philosophical approach to the elimination of wasteful practices and procedures as well as actual tangible and intangible waste such as excess stock and inventory management right through to sub-optimal procedures, meetings, documentation (or lack of it) and so on.

Extremely helpful for authors

I just wrote and published a book on Amazon and it took a lot more work than expected. Not only that, but figuring out how to sell it and price it was not easy. The book was getting very little attention. This book walks through how to market and grow book sales. It has been one of the most helpful resources I have found so far and recommend it to anyone who is thinking about publishing or already has published.

Very helpful!

I found this book very useful, it helps to make the process seem much easier as opposed to daunting. I am finishing my book this month band have notes from this book that I will be putting to good use. Thanks for a great resource Glenn!

Zero effort and valueless.

Listened through whole thing: not worth a nickel. Should have realized the moment he brags that if he comes up with an idea that will justify 60 pages, he counts it as a book that he can throw at the wall and see if it sticks long enough to dupe people for money. This guy and his type are the ones that give self publishers a bad name.

Wow

I was looking to publish one book after listening to this I'm inspired to do anything I put my mind to this is a very informative book that can give you the step-by-step process of being author Glen really does break down the process and it is an easy read I'm excited to sit down and listen to it again with my notebook So I can get started! Thanks Glenn

Informative

Great and useful information. Really the best book on Kindle publishing I've read. Author reads and is very wooden but he speaks clearly and knows his subject. I recommend buying the kindle book as well and highlighting as he reads. A complete blueprint. Thank you Glenn.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful!

As a 15 yr stylist, it's hard to find books in my profession that don't bore me! "Tell me what I don't know" or "I could have wrote that" is usually my response. This book was excellent in showing me where I'm on track, and where I have gotten off track, and what should be my next goal. Definitely a blueprint for those who want to have a successful career as a hairstylist.

An infomercial for starting a youtube channel

Strong start, engaging oration, but halfway through (about a one hour drive) when I was getting antsy wondering when the useful info would drop - surprise - you're stuck in a the equity of a condo timeshare pitch: you're being asked to replicate yourself by video and sit back while the money rolls in. Holy cheese balls, I've been suckered. Pass.

Nothing new for a business minded person

In my opinion this book is nothing I haven't heard before from countless business research and other business books. I really thought she would delve more into best practices for stylists and retaining customers, however she did not. what this book basically was, is a cheer squad for you to write your own book with your knowledge from cosmetology school.... Not what I was expecting. I could have read a blog post to tell me that other than a two hour book. I at least would have liked more personal stories and examples of how she prevailed as a stylist. This book kind of comes off as one of her extra ways to draw income, as mentioned in her book "write a book as an authority in your field". we don't need hundreds of books telling us very little relevant information just for the sake of writing a book.

Love it!

the narrator was excellent in presenting it and clear voice and message. on point! thanks

Every new stylist must have

Whether you are new stylist or in the beauty industry somewhere already this book will help you through it. A life changer!!

Members Reviews:

Terrible, Distracting Narration

What made the experience of listening to Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels the most enjoyable?

The content of the book is pretty decent, but the narration was the worst I have ever heard. Another review compared it to the computer generated audio of a 1980s computer. I think that is a pretty good description. Siri or Cortana would have sounded much more human than this actual human narrator.

How could the performance have been better?

I had my friend who is a musician listen to the audio to tell me if he knew why it sounded so bad. He guessed that the audio had been run through some sort of pitch correcting software which had the effect of making the human narrator sound like a really bad computer generated narration.

Any additional comments?

Rerecord the book and let Siri read it...

For those beginning their journey

Very high level covering many topics. Not enough details in any given topic to apply without further research or hiring a consultant. It would be a good book to help formulate a vision for a company just starting their Lean Journey,

Bland

I wish it was more entertaining. But the content was good. I would not recommend. Overall, too long as well.

Amazing read!

A jump start for emerging leaders, and a wake up call for these, who have been entangled for too long.

Continuing to enjoy the Toyota Way series of books

All of the books I have read so far from Jeffrey Liker have been very influential on my thinking about management/leadership. The books are fantastic. I am now listening to Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels for the second time and I am continuing to pick up principles that change the way I think about lean and leadership. A big thank you to Jeffrey Liker and George Trachilis for this addition to the Toyota Way series.

Members Reviews:

Must read for anyone who wants to go into Sales

Salesmen are like doctors. This was my key takeaway:

As a salesperson, you're a doctor. It doesn't matter how many patients you've seen before. This one is the only one you're seeing now. Include the patient in your diagnosis and treatment. Doing so not only makes for a better working atmosphere, it also increases the likelihood that your patient will have the positive attitude that is really the driving force behind so many dramatic recoveries!

Quick But Good

Sometimes I feel slimy when listening to sales and marketing books. Stephan does a great job of motivating in a trustworthy manner.

Great sales book

This book is a great and quick to read sales book that will bring your sales profession to the next level. I highly recommend it!!

Solid Sales Book

In general, I enjoyed the fast pace and numerical format of the habits. I didn't feel like I learned as much as I have from other sales books but it reinforced a lot of strong principles. Definitely worth a listen for anyone trying to improve their sales skills.

Great book

Excellent helpful informative and presented! It was very enjoyable to listen to. Every business owner should read.

Title: Effortless Money Management

Format: Unabridged

Length: 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-14-14

Publisher: Good Living Publishing

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 48 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

The simplest, easiest to implement money management strategy that anyone can use Do you hate it when money management books simply tell you to stop spending money? They preach that the best way to save money is to cut back all spending, save every penny and effectively have no life! What these books don't understand is that a methodologies like that actually sets you up for failure. They ignore one key principle, the psychology of spending and saving. And ignoring that guarantees failure. Proper budgeting, money management and saving will allow you to have your cake and eat it too. The key to success is about using very specific strategies to effortlessly manage your money.

Instead of cutting back on lattes, nights out, and fun the key is to implement systems that compliment your lifestyle. Systems like this are easy to implement and allow you to save, pay off debt and escape the stresses of financial worry all without being a Scrooge. If you've fallen prey to poor financial advice before then let me guide you with proven, easy to implement strategies. These strategies, and the step-by-step program contained in this book is the exact way I escaped my own financial hell. A few years ago I was broke, paying off debt and, to be honest with you, in a pretty bleak mental state. The only way I managed to escape was that I decided to go against the conventional wisdom that had failed me so many times before. I studied everything I could from psychology to accountancy, with the aim of trying to decode the secret to money management. What I found allowed me to escape the clutches of debt, save for my future and returned me to my happy self. Everything I learned through my own trial and error is within this book and I've laid it out for you in an easy to implement step-by-step guide. Pick up this book, listen to it and implement my system and I guarantee that you will begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Members Reviews:

excellent 4 those newly managing their money!

beginners will benefit from this! I highly recommend this for those desiring to experience financial management bliss.

EASY LISTEN, NOT TECHNICAL, EASY TO IMPLEMENT

A great book to recap and revise over your financial management. Makes money management more appealing and less painstaking. Well written and narrated.

Short, helpful book to help you manage your money.

This is a helpful and detailed look at how best to manage the money that you have, but I was somewhat disappointed to find that it was for the most part about dealing with debt. As someone who has no debt, but wants to move towards living on very little money, I was hoping that this would help me to find my own path forward, but no, not really. That said, I haven't marked it down too much because I can see its usefulness if you did have various streams of debt and wanted good advice to help you to become debt free and begin saving.

Members Reviews:

An interesting book about using business for good!

The book goes over the benefits of becoming B-Corp certified with many examples of successful companies. Ryan Honeyman wrote and reads the book well in the Audible version.

very useful for future business leaders.

Very useful and imporant to learn about for aspiring business leader. businesses of future need to focus on this concept to become successful.

this book is an advertisement

I'm disappointed to say that this book is largely an advertisement for VA benefits Corporation Foundation and offers very little in the way of actual information about good being done for community and individuals by benefit Corporation more practical advice about how to become a benefit Corporation

very helpful

this was a great book to help understand what b Corp certification is and how it's different than benefit corporation status.

not very informative

What would have made The B Corp Handbook better?

serve as a guide to start the process of a b corp; the title is deceiving

What could Ryan Honeyman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

stop providing repetitive feelings about how wonderful a b corp is and instead provide information that is useful

What aspect of Ryan Honeymans performance would you have changed?

nothing

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The B Corp Handbook?

cut OUT all of the repetitive opinions of CEO/COO/CFO/Etc...i felt like he was trying to sell/brainwash me on the idea. I was sold on the idea, prior to purchasing the book
