A very long way from Instant Motivation

I really hated this audiobook. It reads like a research thesis, not an enjoyable and engaging book.

The author/reader drones on giving example after example of this and then that and then another example of this and then a reference to that and it goes on and on.

I really struggled to find anything worthwhile here, and what is there is so hidden by the junk and clutter its hard to find, especially in an audiobook.

This is a long way from instant motivation. It needs a good editor to trim it down and it really needs a new narrator. The narrator has some trouble reading the lengthy sentences often, forgetting they continue after the first example with another example or two and then even more unnecessary nonsense to read out.

If this wasnt part of a two-for-one, I would be getting my money back.

Avoid avoid avoid.

Amazing insights into what really drives the mind

Totally fresh perspectives from the usual self help nlp stuff out there .

Would highly recommend ! So many light bulb moments :)

Very insightful and valuable

I enjoyed this book, very much. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting - but it was better than, rather than the reverse.

Thank you

Great book, bad title

I really enjoyed this book even though I realised half way through it that it had very little to do with the subject of Instant Motivation. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to change their perspective and tackle unwanted anxiety that dominates their life, but if you want some Instant Motivation try something else.

Really enjoyed

This book approach to explaining how our mind works and how to better be in control of thoughts is great. It does it from a very factual and at the same time interesting point of view

Title: Dominate Upwork: Tips, Hacks and Strategies to Increase Your Monthly Income on the World's Biggest Freelancing Platform

Subtitle: Total Freelancing Domination, Book 1

Author: James Oliver

Narrator: Paul Gewuerz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr

Language: English

Release date: 10-13-17

Publisher: James Oliver

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Do you want to make more money on Upwork?

The world's biggest freelancing platform is full of opportunity to make thousands each month in a huge variety of fields....

So why do most Upworkers not make any money? Because they do it all wrong. I know this because I used to be one of them.

My profile was full of mistakes, I would bid on 30 jobs and win none of them, and I never received a single job invite in my first two years on the site.

Fast forward to now. I've bid and won countless jobs and have enough repeat business and private job invites where I rarely have to apply to public jobs anymore.

In this guide, I lay out the steps that I took to go from making $54 a month to making enough money to quit my corporate job and live full-time off my Upwork earnings.

Unlike other books which are full of outdated advice and still refer to Upwork as oDesk and eLance, this book is fully updated for 2017.

You'll learn:

If you want to uncover a smarter and more efficient way to become a highly paid Upwork freelancer, then this is the book for you.

Start making more money on Upwork today!

Members Reviews:

The Ultimate UpWork Strategy Guide

The tips and tricks in this book are immediately applicable to your profile and proposals. Already, I received my first âinvitation to interviewâ (!!!) and Iâve won more jobs this week than usual. The psychology behind UpWork is fascinating and involves elements that never would have crossed my mind otherwise. I recommend reading Dominate on UpWork to anyone that is serious about making UpWork their kickass career platform.

Useful, but somewhat problematic

Overall, this book has some great advice for freelancing on Upwork--I'll definitely be using some of the author's suggestions. In that sense, it's a very useful reference book that I'll keep around to come back to later.

That being said, I have two issues with it. First, this book is full of typos. I don't think it's great for a freelancing guide to have so many typos--it just doesn't seem as credible when wrong words are used or punctuation doesn't make sense. There are some VERY obvious mistakes throughout. If the author is a writer himself, he should be aware of how important this would be in a book about freelance writing!

In addition, there's a section that basically states you should never accept freelance offers from anyone in a certain country. I found that very offensive. Even if the author has had bad experiences with clients from this particular country, it's very judgmental for him to assume everyone there would be the same way. I don't think that is appropriate or politically correct...

Highly Recommended, Helped make crucial changes to my Upwork game

Having been using Upwork for some time with mild success on landing clients I gave this book a read. Upon finishing, I took the advice and changed my profile and approach to clients and immediately saw an increase in the number of clients, along with quality. If you are looking to be more successful and push your freelance work to the next level, I highly recommend this book

Highly Recommended for UpWork Success!

As someone who makes a living on UpWork, this book was of immediate interest to me.

Title: Mastering Business Negotiation

Subtitle: A Working Guide to Making Deals and Resolving Conflict

Author: Roy J. Lewicki, Alexander Hiam

Narrator: Tim Andres Pabon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-09-17

Publisher: Gildan Media LLC

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Mastering Business Negotiation is a great resource for any leader or manager who needs practical strategies and ideas when conducting business negotiations. Grounded in solid research, the authors - experts in the field of business negotiation - reduce the huge volume of available information into an important audio for busy executives who need to prepare for everyday negotiations as well as for more demanding and complex negotiation situations.

Mastering Business Negotiation offers down-to-earth advice for learning to play the negotiation game and shows how to:

No matter what you call negotiation - bargaining, haggling, horse trading, or managing differences - the basic skills and techniques of the master negotiator outlined in this book are essential for resolving conflicts, handling difficult conversations, protecting oneself against a competitive adversary, or negotiating a good business deal. The techniques and suggestions outlined can also be used for more informal day-to-day negotiations on the job such as selling, buying, and team building.

Members Reviews:

A great how-to-guide

With this book, intended as a `working guide' and a `how-to-guide', the authors have reduced the huge volume of available information on the art of negotiation into an easily accessible resource for busy executives who need to prepare for everyday negotiations. But this book will also be useful for any person wanting to learn the art of negotiating.

Negotiating is a bit like breathing. Everybody negotiates constantly -- all day long. You negotiate with your family, friends, shop owners, customers, colleagues...and even with yourself! In fact, we negotiate with ourselves all the time.

Self-negotiation is usually a conversation between our more rational self and our impulsive, subconscious self. These are the "should I or shouldn't I" discussions in our heads. According to the authors, the most important thing to understand in negotiating with yourself is to continue to pay attention to both sides of your brain. Learning to listen to your inner voice--your intuition or your gut--may be the best thing you can do to avoid a negotiating disaster (p. 46-47).

Fundamentally, negotiation is all about each party's efforts to influence the other. Social interactions are all about influence. No person is an island. Yet most people never study influence in depth, and so they go through life, and negotiations, in constant ignorance of the forces of influence at work around and on them.

This book offers down-to-earth advice for learning to play the negotiation game. The authors walk the reader through every negotiating pitfall and opportunity. In the preface the authors tell the readers "we don't make this stuff up." This book is grounded in lots of solid research. I really enjoyed reading it.

The following are some notes I took while reading this book that you might find helpful:

According to the authors, individuals who master negotiations are rated high in emotional intelligence by their peers, tend to be promoted more rapidly, are more productive and emerge as natural leaders. Whether it's sales, customer service, engineering, management or any other area of business, negotiation skills play a surprisingly large role in career success.

Wish I hadn't wasted my money

I first listened to the actual Good to Great book on CDs in my car and wanted a written summary to review some points -- but buying this one was a huge mistake. It appears this summary was written by a non-native English speaker, and not proofread. Even the name of the author is misspelled. On page three it says, "The trademarks are used without consent." No address or other contact information is provided for Elite Summaries, the summary's publisher. I've never before given such a low review (one star) but clearly this time it's in order. I let Amazon know my concerns and was pleased with their response (which was prompt and helpful).

Now I am implementing tips and tricks even in my everyday life and I am doing great. Isn't it just perfect when everything comes together ...

For me, this really hit the spot. I found myself lacking discipline and organizing. Now I am implementing tips and tricks even in my everyday life and I am doing great. Isn't it just perfect when everything comes together and you start feeling good about yourself? I can't hide my surprise that I could use some of this in my private life, implementing these in business sphere was expected. The best thing is I haven't finished improving, there are much more things to do.

That's what makes a great company, disciplined workers in every segment

We all need that self-discipline in achieving more. That's what makes a great company, disciplined workers in every segment. Right people with good amount of discipline are the best way to make a successful business. Collins gives some nice guidelines in this book, its nothing groundbreaking but it's helpful to see whats important. Good chance is most of us will miss on those important things.

... people had marked this book as one of the best business coaching books

A lot of people had marked this book as one of the best business coaching books, and I must agree on that. I really like that it has a lot of examples of successful companies and rather easy and simple pointers on how to grow your own business. I like that it's underlined how you should value people on their abilities and being positive.

syntax read out is not necessary. I was expecting

syntax read out is not necessary. I was expecting though high high g2g g2g tt

Very good content...

This book has very good content but is horrible as as audio book due to having to listen to five minute long code descriptions including curly braces and tabs.

I honestly could have gotten so much from just being able to listen to Java concepts over and over but the code description made it unbearable so I will have to go out and buy the book also even though I hate reading.

Meaty Java Book

I bought the first book in this series, so I knew what to expect. This book has a lot of detail. The author does a great job explaining the functions of Java and following up with examples. Listen with a pencil and notebook handy for the code!

Don't read the code

It was fine until the narrator started reading through each line of code...it should just refer people to the book of they need to see specific lines.

Super guide

It is an interesting book about Java Programming: Intermediate Concepts for the Fundamentals of Object Oriented Programming. Thanks to the author

Language: English

Release date: 08-14-17

Publisher: Sean McCabe

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Starting a business doesn't have to mean quitting your day job, risking it all, and hoping for the best.

Fortunately, there's a more practical way to freedom than taking a leap and putting your family at risk.

Overlap starts with the day job. You use the stability of your day job to provide a financial foundation for building your own business on the side.

When Sean McCabe started practicing hand lettering, he never dreamed he'd make over $500,000 from the craft. He always thought it'd be a hobby. But he learned that there are three specific ways to make money from any niche pursuit.

Sean codifies and breaks down these three methods of making money in what he calls the Trifecta:

1. Client Work 2. Products 3. Teaching

But where you'll get stuck is trying to find the time, motivation, and focus to do the work.

The results will not come overnight, but this book will help you get unstuck and give you a clear idea of exactly what to do next.

Great read and so informative!

Not only was this inspirational! I love Sean's laid back approach to narrating. Maybe it's because he has his own podcast as well, but his narration is on point! And his book made me feel more empowered and oriented to taking action. I especially like how he shows us his own life examples to give you actionable steps.
