It goes on SALE today!

Today is the day that Bob Burg and John David Mann release their book to the market. What book am I talking about?

Today is the release of The Go-Giver.

A few days ago I interviewed Bob Burg, co-author of the book The Go-Giver. What a book!  And what an enjoyable interview! The book is based upon the concept that “the true secret to success is giving.” The book is an easy to read parable and is very touching. I cried in a couple of sections as the story touched my heart.

This engaging parable addresses the belief system that most people have. The belief system that says there are two kinds of people – those that are rich or those that do good – and these two traits – being rich and doing good are rarely in the same person. Read The Go-Giver and discover how you can be both rich in money and rich in good deeds.

Over a five day work week, Pindar (the Chairman) shares with Joe (an ambitious young man, hungry for success) the following Laws of Stratospheric Success. Each law is illustrated poignantly in the parable of “The Go-Giver”

1. The Law of Value: Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
2. The Law of Compensation: Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
3. The Law of Influence: Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interest first.
4. The Law of Authenticity: The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.
5. The Law of Receptivity: The Key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

If you want to read a great book to kick of the theme for your own personal and business growth for the new year, I would recommend “The Go-Giver”. Order this book now.

Listen to the interview podcast today when you have a chance at www.GetMoreBusinessPodcast.com. Psst, I’ll tell you a little secret. Bob Burg revealed to me that the character Pindar was modeled after my business mentor, Bob Proctor (of the Secret). Read the book and tell me what you think.

The Five Laws of the Go-Giver

Okay, so the summary that follows is NOT my review. This is the stock descripton of the book which can be found on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles website. So why am I not reviewing it yet?  Cuz I don’t have it yet. This book is scheduled to be released December 27, 2007 and in the stores by January. I am eagerly awaiting my review copy. I just wanted to give you something to put on your calendar for December 21st at 9am Pacific.

One of the authors, Bob Burg, will be on the Get More Business Podcast.

Bob Burg shares information on topics vital to the success of today’s business person. He speaks for corporations and associations internationally, including fortune 500 companies, franchises, and numerous direct sales organizations.

Bob has shared the platform with legends such as Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Denis Waitley,   Debbie Fields, CNN’s Larry King, Mary Lou Retton, the late Og Mandino and former U.S. President Gerald Ford, and countless others.

He is perhaps best-known for his book “Endless Referrals: Network Your Everyday Contacts Into Sales” which has thus far sold well over 175,000 copies and is still going strong.  His newest book, “The Go-Giver” is a business parable that will both touch hearts and build bigger bank accounts.

Bob is a staunch advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.

On Friday’s podcast (12/21) he’ll share with us the 5 Laws of “The Go-Giver”

Here’s the “stock” summary of the book. Watch for the “prime time” review from my own keyboard to your screen in a few days.

“The Go-Giver” tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day, desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman.

Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of “go-givers:” a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the “Connector,” who brought them all together. Pindar’s friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving.

Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving—putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives—ultimately leads to unexpected returns.

Imparted with wit and grace, “The Go-Giver” is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb “Give and you shall receive.”
