Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-19-14

Publisher: Hannacroix Creek Books, inc.

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

A noted time management consultant shows how to identify goals, clarify priorities, and achieve an ideal balance among work, family, and play concerns.

An alternative selection of the Literary Guild and a dual main selection (with Business Protocol) of the Executive Book Club, Creative Time Management helps listeners to:

Members Reviews:

Well organized, direct, and easy to follow!

Without a doubt, this is the best book on time management I have read in a very long time. Dr. Yager's approach to the biggest challenge we all face each day is well organized, direct, and easy to follow.

The book's opening chapter has a self-evaluation test consisting of five questions that will stimulate your brain and open your mind to new ideas for change. You will learn her 7 Principles of Time Management, emotional blocks that keep us from managing our time wisely, a list of bad habits that affect not only you but those around you, and 4 Simple Organizational Guidlines. And that's just the beginning!

Dr. Jager not only identifies time wasters, but gives you the tools to eliminate them. Her techniques are so practical and hands-on that you'll immediately see ways to change your patterns. Her research documents organizational challenges, andshe clearly prescribes ways for you to overcome them.

While other self-improvement books list the ailments and suggest their way to fix the problem, Creative Time Management gives you the permission to help yourself. That's what growth is all about, now, isn't it?

Great time saver for the new millennium

As a working mother of a working mother, Creative Time Management for the New Millennium by Dr. Jan Yager is invaluable. The advice about "making productive use of your 'Hidden Time" is worth the price of the book. She writes: "For example, you may use the five minutes you usually spend waiting for the bus, or the half hour waiting in someone's office, to plan, dictate, read, work on your laptop computer, return or receive calls on your cell phone, or just relax and meditate. " She also admits that when her children were young, she forced herself to wake up by 4 am. so she could work uninterrupted until at least 7 am. She advises how to discover your energy highs and lows. There is little doubt that time will be even more difficult to find in the new millennium so this book will certainly help readers make the future less frantic while finding the time to be successful in parenting and in a career.

Great suggestions, easy to learn and apply in daily life!

Jan Yager's Creative Time Management doesn't talk in generalities. If you work or don't work,if you are young or old, you will find her suggestions practical and easy to apply in your daily life. The major bonus in her book is that she is willing to address the concept that our emotional state of being plays a major part in our ability to handle and manage our time appropriately. So few books include this component. I refer back to the book from time to time, (no pun intended), to specific sections to help me make changes in my own life that will benefit better use of my time.

Publisher: Alessandra & Associates, Inc.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

What is the cost of losing a customer? In today's competitive environment, it is a cost no business can afford. Do the math. It costs you up to 4 times more to get a new customer than it does to retain an existing one. However, that does not even take into account the fact that an unhappy customer will tell an average of 20 customers about their bad experiences, while a satisfied customer will only tell 10 people about their good experiences. This means you have to make twice as many customers happy as unhappy - just to break even!

Dr. Tony Alessandra teaches how employees in all areas of your business can easily and quickly increase their customer service skills - anyone from secretaries to managers to the CEO him/herself! Why not invest in a proven system today and learn skills that will secure committed and active customers for you and your business? How can you afford not to? I have laid it all out for you here - over 35 years of the customer service secrets that have helped me tremendously in my own business career and saved me from many ruined customer relationships along the way.

Title: Kindle Cash System

Subtitle: How to Publish Your Book on CreateSpace, Babelcube, Smashwords, Audible, Google Play, & Kobo

Author: Nick Vulich

Narrator: Paul Holbrook

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-26-14

Publisher: Nicholas L Vulich

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Do you want to know the secret to selling more books?

It's a no brainer. Make them available through more channels.

Too many authors look at Kindle as the final destination for their books. They're so caught up in optimizing their book for Amazon, running KDP Free Days, Countdown Deals, and cycling prices that they forget - millions of people have never bought a Kindle book, let alone any kind of eBook.

It's true - Amazon is the big kid on the block. The best estimates are they have 65% of the eBook market in the United States.

But if I understand math, that still leaves 35% of American book lovers who enjoy their eBooks served up in a different flavor.

Can you afford to pass that audience by?

Apple's iStore is the second-biggest eBook market in the world. Kobo is a major force in Canada, and many other countries. Barnes and Noble still holds over 15% of the eBook market.

And, before we forget - many people still like their books served up the old way - as paperbacks they can flip through, and fold the corners, and scribble notes all over.

There are millions of people who would rather listen to a book than read it. If you don't have your book listed with ACX, you're missing out on millions of possible listeners who shop on Audible, Amazon, and in the iStore.

Don't believe me? Consider this, my first month on ACX I sold over 200 audiobooks. That's with four titles available. Within the next month I expect to have 22 titles available as audio books, and close to 500 sales a month.

And, all it cost me was a simple fiver to create the cover for each audiobook.

Kindle Cash System walks you step-by-step through setting up and publishing your book on Create Space, SmashWords, Barnes and Noble, Audible (ACX), Babelcube, and Google Play and Google Books.

Description:

Reboot Your Career: 27 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in the Workplace... (If You Still Have a Job!) by Peter J. Fogel does just what it promises. It motivates the reader to try 27+ ways to make their job, as well as their life, more managed, meaningful, and exciting; not to mention less stressful. These steps include: finding out what you are passionate about/ what goals you have, making yourself into the person you want to be, managing your time and money, learning to network, and generally, reinventing yourself in order to get to where, and who, you want to be. Basically, it's an easy to understand self-help book for anyone, (employed or unemployed), that wants to make it further in, and be more happy with, their career.

Review:

After graduation, I myself am unemployed; so when I saw the chance to read and review 'Reboot Your Career...' I jumped at it! Peter Fogel's tips are very well organized, as well as helpful; written in a way that is simple for readers to understand and implement in their daily lives. The chapters are short and to the point, with a little humor to ease the way through more detail heavy material. The comics were a surprise, funny, but related to the sections they were in. I appreciated that the book's overall tone was that of motivation, optimism, and a do-it-yourself attitude; I dislike when other self-help books talk down to the reader. None of the tips are extreme, in contrast most of them are very simple, it's just about being able to stick with them. Overall, I liked Peter Fogel's approach to self-reinvention, and feel that it is a good book for anyone,with or without a job, to have on their desk.

Rating: On the Run (4/5)

*** I received this book from LibraryThing Member Giveaways (Frederick Fell Publishers) in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Publisher's Summary:

Members Reviews:

Pragmatic advice for the working psychic

Would you listen to The Ethics & Responsibilities of Being a Psychic again? Why?

Yes. There's a lot of wonderful, pragmatic advice and important information throughout this book. In order to get the full information, and to be able to think about all the different ways in which one can bring a code of ethics into one's fortunetelling or psychic our business, listening to this book more than once would be beneficial.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is "you" and "me" the audience and the practicing psychic. That's who the book speaks too.

What does Kay Nazarchyk bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Nazarchyk has a lovely voice. I felt that she did a very good job with delivering the content, offering interesting inflections, as well as a nonjudgmental reading of the text. Good work.

Whats an idea from the book that you will remember?

In order to defuse the negative stereotypes regarding the business of fortunetellers and the psychic arts, we must develop a code of ethics, one practice by our community, and one that upholds our wider community's business ethics as well.

Any additional comments?

"The Ethics and Responsibilities of Being a Psychic" by Alexandra Chauran was a good listen. This particular text poses a problem and a solution. The problem is this: unlike other businesses, the business world of the psychic is not necessarily bound under an umbrella of shared ethics (ethical code and agreed responsibility code) shared among those in the business of psychic arts. As such, negative consequences have emerged regarding the arts and business of psychic advice. Psychics are often seen as charlatans, con-artists that take your money and run. Further, a lack of ethics and a fear of the charlatan as psychic have encouraged many laws, throughout many states and countries, outlawing the business of psychic advice and fortunetelling. These realities are the consequences for not having a more unified code of ethic among responsible psychics.

Chauran proposes that we take a lesson from ethics and businesses, and that we start to structure the business of fortunetelling in such a way as to encourage a collective code of ethic and business sensibility. This will allow the business of psychic arts to better serve the communities we live in, and to finally break down the negative stereotypes many psychics live with.

I am both a psychic and an ethics and communications college instructor. From this viewpoint, I would have to say that the advice offered by Chauran is strong, pragmatic, and helpful. Rooting her ethical code in the non-consequential reasoning behind the moral imperative of do no harm, Chauran also argues that we should use a type of consequential, rule-utilitarian, reasoning in order to achieve the do no harm philosophy. Although she promotes do no harm, a common ethical code for many practicing pagans, she does not root her code of ethics in paganism.

Title: CIO Communication Skills Secrets

Subtitle: Tips and Techniques for CIOs to Use in Order to Become Better Communicators

Author: Dr. Jim Anderson

Narrator: Dr. Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-18-13

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Isn't technology a wonderful thing? As CIO you are in charge of one of the most technologically sophisticated parts of the company. It's very easy to fill your days dealing with issues regarding servers, networks, routers, switches, firewalls, etc. However, it turns out that if you do this, then you'll be overlooking one of the most important tasks that a CIO needs to accomplish: communication.

What You'll Find Inside:

Keeping all of the moving parts that an IT department has in alignment is a challenging task. The good news is that you don't have to do it all - that's what the rest of the IT department is there for. However, you do need to clearly communicate to everyone both inside and outside of the IT department what you want to have done. This is going to require you to have good communication skills.

Communication skills include knowing how to ask good questions, understanding how to use social media tools like Twitter, and realizing how to apply ITIL to your IT department. All of this stuff takes time to both learn and do.

This book has been written in order to show you what you need to be doing in order to get your message out. In order to get the rest of the company to line up behind you and do what you need them to do, they first have to hear and understand your message. I'm going to show you many different ways that you can connect with the people who have to hear your message and how you can make your requests "stick" with them.

It is my hope that after having read this book you will be aware of how to clearly communicate with not only your IT department, but also with the rest of the company. Do this correctly and your CIO career will last a long time!
