Publisher's Summary:

Be Obsessed or Be Average by Grant Cardone explains how to harness an obsessive or addictive personality for success in the business world. Cardone experienced loss in his family, first economically and then when his father died, and eventually became a struggling car salesman with a drug addiction problem. When he finished a short rehabilitation program, he decided to manage his tendency toward addiction by expending his energy on self-improvement in business and his personal life. He became one of the top automotive salespeople in the country, started investing in real estate, and now owns properties worth $400 million. He attributes this to his obsession with success, which he applies to his family life as well as his business.

The first step of obsession-powered success is to embrace an obsessive personality. A person's obsession should be focused on his or her purpose.

Please note: This is a summary, analysis & review of the book and not the original book.

Obsessing about obsession

This author is obsessed with obsession. Especially in audio, you hear the word "obsession" a lot. The author suffered from obsession with things like drugs early on in life, and then decided to obsess over what he was obsessing about and decided to obsess over being a successful salesman, and he succeeded.

The main point here are:

1. It's better to be obsessed (purposefully obsessed at least) than to be average.

2. The way to find what someone will be purposefully obsessed about is to find out what they would do if they had no responsibilities and could do anything. For me, right now, that's take a nap, but I don't think there's much call for that as a profession.

3. Obsessing doesn't mean obsessing to the exclusion of all else. It's important to have a healthy family life and connection to community.

4. Obsession must be supported. You have to feed the beast, focus on the future, and reinforce the obsession.

5. People should not worry about burnout or unfounded doubts, but should heed well-reasoned, well-founded doubt in a sensible manner.

6. People should obsess about self-control and self-discipline.

7. All reward requires risk, and obsession can manage the risk.

8. The best sales people are obsessed. This might explain the electricity guy who knocks on my door every single day with a new story.

9. Over-promise then obsess about over delivering.

10. Obsess about bringing together a team of obsessive people, then obsess about rewarding their obsession.

11. Obsessive people are control freaks.

12. Obsessive people don't give up, which is usually a downside of obsessing, but here it is used as a strength.

13. Obsessive people reach a goal then set a new, harder one.

The narrator is fantastic. I think this book in the original would drive me crazy (see the section on Author's Style for why). In summary it works very well. I thought the audio was good for listening to on the bus, but the information is dense enough it would be a problem with any but the most mindless of knitting. You can't drop out and in when it's this condensed.

I received an advanced readers copy of this book.

The power of obsession

"Be Obsessed or Be Average" is a book by Grant Cardone about his life, and learning to stop fighting his obsessions and just embrace them.

Title: Teach With Your Strengths

Subtitle: How Great Teachers Inspire Their Students

Publisher's Summary:

WHAT DO GREAT TEACHERS DO DIFFERENTLY?

As an educator, you may ask yourself this question all the time. Or you may know the answer but are struggling in an environment that just doesn't appreciate great teaching.

Whatever the case, educators - and American society in general - have long worried about the lack of great teaching. That is why, for decades, Gallup has directed the leading thinkers in education and psychology to uncover what makes a teacher truly great.

Mountains of research point to this remarkable fact: While their styles and approaches may differ, all great teachers make the most of their natural talents. Here's something else: Great teachers don't strive to be well-rounded. They know that "fixing their weaknesses" doesn't work - it only produces mediocrity. Worse, it diverts time and attention from what they naturally do well.

In Teach With Your Strengths, you'll hear from great teachers, many of whom reveal their unorthodox - and sure to be controversial - approaches. You'll gain key insights gleaned from 40 years of research into great teaching. And, you'll take an online assessment that reveals your Signature Themes of talent.

As you hear this groundbreaking book, you'll discover your own innate talents as a teacher. And you'll learn how to liberate those talents to inspire the next generation of students.

Please note: When you purchase this title, you will be emailed a unique ID that provides access to accompanying online material.

Members Reviews:

Don't buy this book USED because ...

While the first part of this book speaks generally about teaching, the second half addresses your individual strengths as found through the website Strengthsfinder.com and how they apply to teaching.

In order to access this information you go to their website and type in the access code on the inside of the dust jacket. The access code can only be used ONE time, and evidently the person I bought the used book from had used the access code, so I was not able to find out my personal strengths. Consequently the book was of little use.

This book is one of a series of books which use the Gallup Strengthsfinder website and happily I had purchased Strengths Finder 2.0 (by Tom Rath) new and the access code was sealed inside the book so I finally had access to the website.

Once enrolled I took a preference test (about 20 minutes) and received information on my 5 strengths. These correspond for the most part with those listed in Teach With Your Strengths. This information on my strengths is not earth-shaking but it does support Gallup's contention that we shouldn't waste time or energy trying to "fix" our lesser talents but instead develop what we do naturally (172).

As with anything it is not a magic wand, but instead an interesting way of thinking about maximizing our individual potential.

Four Stars

Good insight to teacher qualities

However. I ordered it new and the code in the back that I needed for a college course had been used, resulting in me having to buy another copy.

Great TeachersTeach from their Strengths

Teach with your Strengths is an inspiring, research-based guide to improve teaching and learning for teachers at all levels. It is very practical in that it helps teachers to identify their strengths and how to use them in a classroom.

Are you getting what you want today? Are you on track to creating the career and life of your dreams?

You are most certainly working hard, but is your career working hard for you?

The same challenges exist in every career and at every level. Whether you are Jeff Bezos contemplating leaving a comfortable job to build a world-changing company, or fresh out of college thinking about your career direction, you want a sophisticated approach.

Working hard is not enough, and to create the career you truly want you need a new system. You can keep slaving away for the next 40 years, or you can cast aside the ball and chain and take control of your career.

Members Reviews:

For the first time in years, I'm psyched to go to work so I can start implementing my new success plan!

I felt owned by my job and bosses, and I was getting more depressed every day because I couldn't see any way out. In a single weekend, this book gave me hope and purpose. I couldn't put it down because every line made perfect sense to me and I totally related to what he was saying. For the first time, I felt like someone really understood my predicament and I wasn't alone in how I felt.

That's great, but the real Value here is in Geoff's suggestions for what to do about it. Every situation that I felt trapped in, that I thought was so complex, he broke down into straightforward pieces, then showed exact processes to use it to my advantage. My situation really makes sense to me now and I'm psyched to start using these processes to get exactly what I want.

Thanks Geoff! I don't know how you came up with this stuff, but I'm sure glad you did and I'm sure glad I didn't pass on your book!

Loved the premise...Wanted a little more in terms of application.

3 Issues

1.) The author talks a big game right up front

His quote - "For doing what you want in your career, it is the only book you will ever need." He devalues the work of other self-help books in the very beginning yet the bulk of his meaty content throughout the rest of the book comes from all of the powerhouses that you've already read (Stephen Covey, Brian Tracey, Tim Ferris).

2.) Lack of concrete application or specificity

This book commits the same sin over and over again (worse than Maxwell). "Step 1...Create steps." or "You must be clear on what you want. Here's the golden secret...you don't have to know what you want."

It's almost comical in some points but it really lacks depth. You can really track 4 stick words the author uses (that have no follow up or application) yet are packaged as application: plan, process, execution, steps.

You read this swirling round and round hearing this words yet not walking away with any structure or plan or even ideas.

3.) The author's intent is confused

About half way through, the book makes a shift going from how to build a career you want to being a wall street sales shark. It almost seemed like his notes from perhaps another book were thrown into the mix here. It kind of seemed to get off track.

I have an online business, I have been doing drop shipping for almost 3 months now and to be honest, my sales increase more than I am expecting. I can just post product to my store and let the company ship the product when I made sales. This audio is a very helpful to someone who wanted to sell stuff but doesn't want to stock the product in your house. I was struggling before about how drop shipping works I wish I found this before then.

Simple yet helpful guide for beginners

Any additional comments?

Probably the biggest advantage to dropshipping is that it's possible to launch an ecommerce store without having to invest thousands of dollars in inventory up front. Traditionally, retailers have had to tie up huge amounts of capital purchasing inventory.

With the dropshipping model, you don't have to purchase a product unless you already made the sale and have been paid by the customer. Without major up-front inventory investments, it's possible to start a successful dropshipping business with very little money. And its easy to get started. Simple yet helpful guide for beginners like me!

Just the basic stuff

not really to in depth on how to start drop shipping. if you need an over all view of what drop shipping

Title: The Purpose Effect

Subtitle: Building Meaning in Yourself, Your Role and Your Organization

Author: Dan Pontefract

Narrator: Dan Pontefract

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-04-16

Publisher: Elevate Publishing

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Pontefract combines years of experience and research on employee engagement, behavior, and culture to create a work about the three crucial areas of purpose: personal, organizational and workplace role. If all three can come to fruition - if there is a positive interconnection between the three distinct definitions of purpose - the benefits should be felt by employees, teams, the organization, customers, and, perhaps most importantly, society as a whole. We can refer to this balanced state as the "sweet spot". When one area is lacking or ignored, the results range from disengagement and apathy to lack of growth and even bankruptcy.

The Purpose Effect is aimed at both leaders and employees who wish to achieve a purpose mind-set on a personal level for the organization where they are employed and in their role at work, too.

A business leader who is committed to purpose will create purpose for the organization. An employee who feels his/her personal sense of purpose is being fulfilled at work will be an invaluable asset to productivity and success. An organization centered on purpose will benefit every stakeholder, from employees to society in general. This sweet spot of purpose creates a reciprocal relationship between all three areas and sits at the center of Pontefract's work.

An Important Insight for Career & Work Fulfullment

Dan offers up some great insights, messages and stories to help us think about our purpose in the career we choose and the work we do to bring us a sense of joy and well being in our lives. I enjoyed Dans analogies and examples throughout this book in helping me reflect on my career that included a variety of different roles and jobs, my level of engagement in those jobs, my work relationships and alignment to the corporate culture, and dedication in ensuring my actions and results benefited our customers, our team and our shareholders. I think the guidance in this book for finding and discovering the sweet spot applies no matter where you are in your life journey whether you are new to the workforce, just out of school, college or university, seasoned in the work force and/or retired and seeking new opportunities that open up new doors of interest and purpose.

I like the list that Ethan provides on sourcing books. Some of these tips provide edge over competition. Barcode or bluetooth scanner is a must tool. It is useful to determine the book's worth.

Meh

Around 25% to 30% of the ideas begin with "I've never tried this myself, but..."

Good info

Simple, straight to the point information. Good use for beginners and intermediate seller.

Another good thing about this book is its length! You can finish it in 10 mins

Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Josh Kaufman's The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business.

Getting an MBA is an expensive choice - one almost impossible to justify, regardless of the state of the economy. Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business. You can get better results (and save hundreds of thousands of dollars) by skipping business school altogether. True leaders aren't made by business schools - they make themselves, seeking out the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to succeed.

Listen to this book, and you will learn the principles it takes most business professionals a lifetime of trial and error to master. This summary provides the essentials of entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, negotiation, operations, productivity, systems design, and much more in one comprehensive volume. The Personal MBA distills the most valuable business lessons into simple, memorable mental models that can be applied to real-world challenges.

This summary is aimed at those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the time to listen to the whole book. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer.

Horrible - the narration sounds like a computer talking - lack of organization.

Poor naration

Very poor narration, made me not to be interested in listening to it. Very disappointing
