What's The Best Book You've Ever Read?

Someone asked me "What is the title of the best book you have ever read and why?" 


My "best book" shifts as I read more and more and develop more and more.  


Right now I am reading one of Joel Olsteins' books: Make Every Day a Friday...as well as Black Water, which is quite amazing.  


I also started "What Would Napoleon Hill do?"

What is the best book you've read?  



Let's post recommendations of all the best books for everyone!

Would You Take 1009 "No's" if it Meant Finding Your Next Ambassador?

You've probably heard the story about Colonel Harlan Sanders.

In Notes From a Friend, Tony Robbins shares the story of him, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken and in it are amazing lessons.

Here is one lesson worth revisiting for any one in the network marketing profession:

So many people have great ideas but Colonel Sanders was different.  He went and started knocking on doors to tell restaurant owners about his chicken recipe and told them if they use it they would increase sales and all he wanted in return was a % of that increase.

How many "No's" do you think he got?  He was actually refused 1009 times before he heard his first yes.  

Get this - he spent two years driving across America in his old, beat-up car, sleeping in the back seat, getting up each day eager to share his idea with someone new.  Often, the only food he had was a quick bite of the samples he was preparing for perspective buyers. 

How many people do you think would have gone for 1009 "No's"  - two years worth!...and kept going?  I would guess very few.  Most wouldn't get passed twenty "No's", much less a hundred or a thousand! 

Yet this is sometimes what it takes to succeed.

I simply suggest you think of this next time you get a single no and remember that you are simply looking for those looking ... period.  Never give up!  The rewards are awesome.

Who's on the Bus?

I love the book "Resolved" by Orrin Woodward and all it's Leadership lessons. 


I was flying home from Kayla's amazing National Championship and finished the book and, as is customary for me after finishing a great book, I went back through my markings to see what had gotten my attention the most.

There's a section in it titled Leadership Cultures and Freedom and it validated in a big way and put a big exclamation point on the move Kim and I recently made to another company inside the amazing profession of Network Marketing:

"Leadership cultures need freedom for leaders to blossom and grow.  Ironically...Most companies build their bureaucratic rules to manage the small percentage or wrong people on the bus, which in turn drives away the right people on the bus, which then increases the percentage of wrong people on the bus, which increases the need for more bureaucracy to compensate for the incompetence and lack of discipline, which then further drives the right people away, and so forth."

So obvious you would think!

Too many more lessons to mention here but grab the book regardless of your job, business or profession as it has amazing leadership lessons throughout.
