130: Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

It’s time to stop procrastinating and get more of the important things done! After all, successful people don’t try to do everything. They focus on their most important tasks and get those done. They eat their frogs.
There’s an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re done with the worst thing you’ll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task—but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life.

129: In Praise of Wasting Time by Alan Lightman Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

We are all worried about wasting time. Especially in the West, we have created a frenzied lifestyle in which the twenty-four hours of each day are carved up, dissected, and reduced down to ten minute units of efficiency. We take our iPhones and laptops with us on vacation. We check email at restaurants or our brokerage accounts while walking in the park. When the school day ends, our children are overloaded with “extras.” Our university curricula are so crammed our young people don’t have time to reflect on the material they are supposed to be learning. Yet in the face of our time-driven existence, a great deal of evidence suggests there is great value in “wasting time,” of letting the mind lie fallow for some periods, of letting minutes and even hours go by without scheduled activities or intended tasks.

128: A Theory of Human Motivation by Abraham H. Maslow Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

US psychologist Abraham Maslow’s A Theory of Human Motivation is a classic of psychological research that helped change the field for good. Like many field-changing thinkers, Maslow was not just a talented researcher, he was also a creative thinker - able to see things from a new perspective and show them in a different light. He studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people.

126: The Dip by Seth Godin Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

In this iconic bestseller, popular business blogger and bestselling author Seth Godin proves that winners are really just the best quitters. Godin shows that winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt—until they commit to beating the right Dip.
Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out fun…then gets really hard, and not much fun at all. You might be in a Dip—a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it’s really a Cul-de-Sac—a total dead end. What really sets superstars apart is the ability to tell the two apart.
Winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can beat the Dip to be the best, you’ll earn profits, glory, and long-term security.
Whether you’re an intern or a CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you’re in a Dip that’s worthy of your time, effort, and talents. The old saying is wrong—winners do quit, and quitters do win.

125: The Power Of Your Spoken Word by Eddie Coronado Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

This book gets right to the point by presenting powerful information that will clearly explain how you can harness the tremendous power of your spoken word to get the money, opportunities, success, or anything you want to manifest with the Law of Attraction. I have been studying the Law of Attraction for over two decades, and throughout the years I have manifested a number of wonderful things, including lottery prizes, financial prosperity, business success, relationships and romance. One important truth I have learned after many years of study is that your destiny lies in your words and in the way you use them. You can literally transform a situation through the right use of words, and you can even change the course of your life through the dynamic power of your spoken word. Many people fail to get what they want from the Law of Attraction because they don’t have a clear understanding about affirmations and how to harness the power of the spoken word.

124: The Win Without Pitching Manifesto by Blair Enns Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

A manifesto of business practices for those who sell ideas and advice, The Win Without Pitching Manifesto lays out twelve steps--in the form of proclamations--that owners of creative businesses can take to distance themselves from their competition, regain the high ground in their client relationships and learn to win business without first parting with their thinking or writing lengthy proposals. The twelve proclamations were written to inspire owners of independent creative businesses (e.g.: design firms & advertising agencies) to rethink how their services are bought and sold. Anyone who sells ideas or advice will find relevance in their teachings.

123: How to Build Self-Discipline by Martin Meadows Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

If you want to make positive changes in your life and achieve your long-term goals, I can’t think of a better way to do it than to learn how to become more self-disciplined.
Science has figured out a lot of interesting aspects of self-discipline and willpower, but most of this knowledge is buried deep inside long and boring scientific papers.
If you’d like to benefit from these studies without actually reading them, this book is for you. I’ve done the job for you and researched the most useful and viable scientific findings that will help you improve your self-discipline.

122: Dark Persuasion by Steve Lear Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

Do you desire to have an idea of what dark persuasion means? Do you want to know who a dark persuader is?

Through the content of this book, you will understand that persuading someone simply means convincing someone to do or accept as true, using a variety of methods to give advice or discuss. The dissimilarity between belief and dark conviction is intention. A persuader could try to convince someone to do something without thinking about certain tactics or motives, or a real understanding of the person they are trying to persuade. A persuader could take care of doing the best for most people, such as a diplomat who he wants to avoid the war between two world powers by establishing political ties where none existed before. A persuasion artist may be frantically searching for straws and waiting for something to stick. Having a grasp of this book will give you more understanding.
