The Only Possible Way To Profit…

Blog, Influence, Politics, Success, The Go-GiverBy Bob Burg July 19, 2013 34 Comments

Recently, on my Facebook page, I posted: “Profit is a reward for satisfying the desire of someone else.” ~ Harry Browne, The Secret of Selling Anything* Sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? And, it is. But it’s something many don’t realize. Yet, in a free-market based economy, that’s what it all comes down to. If we…

Living in Joy

Blog, GeneralBy Bob Burg July 16, 2013 18 Comments

My friend, Michelle Stimpson sent me a little booklet entitled joy, which had the following quote: “There are souls in this world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere and leaving it behind them when they go.” ~ Frederick William Faber I think most of us know at least a few people like that.…

As popular as Twitter has become, it is still a mystery for many. Sure, one might know it has little to do with announcing what they had for lunch and that it can actually be a very valuable tool for building their business. But…how do you do it? What are the proper and most effective…

Tina Fey’s Bossypants – Hysterical… and More!

Blog, Book Reviews, SuccessBy Bob Burg July 9, 2013 44 Comments

I’ve never seen her show 30 Rock only because I don’t watch a whole lot of television. Other than assuming it had something to do with being about a TV show on NBC (hence the name 30 Rock…and I get to say “hence”) I knew little about it. I enjoyed her work immensely both as…

A Lesson in Excellence, Courtesy of Marriott

It’s where the event would be held, so it’s where I would be staying. And, I should have known from the start this was someplace special. Young Marguerita couldn’t have been more helpful in solving an issue. But, it was far from her simply providing great customer service. It was her attitude; her entire essence…

Avoiding Those Unnecessary “Headaches”

Blog, General, SuccessBy Bob Burg June 21, 2013 22 Comments

Aside from what is learned directly from reading an article, I find they often trigger ideas that can be applied in other, more specific areas. Not very surprising when realizing success principles are success principles and transfer across the board. Such was the case when reading investment authority Steve Sjuggerud’s guest post recently in the…

First things first: The book, CONSCIOUS CAPITALISM: Liberating The Heroic Spirit Of Business is outstanding. As a case study on why companies that honor all of their stakeholders and not just their shareholders actually do much better financially than those who don’t, it’s terrific! As a look at how companies can create an enthusiastic and happy…

Be The Best At What Matters Most – A Chat With Joe Calloway

Blog, Interviews, SuccessBy Bob Burg May 31, 2013 23 Comments

What really are the elements that lead toward and result in huge business success? Is it mainly – as we’re often told – about being different? Is it really the “WOW Factor” we hear so much about? Or, could it be that the winners constantly think “outside the box”? In a recent post with noted…

The beautiful doctor, Elizabeth “Doc” Clay offered to give Dalton a local anesthetic before stitching up the knife wound from his scuffle at the Double Deuce. He refused it. She asked, “Do you enjoy pain?” “Pain don’t hurt.” he replied. To which she responded, “Are you a freaking moron?!” Oh, wait, that’s what I shout…

Is Anything Ever Accomplished By A Pessimist?

Blog, SuccessBy Bob Burg May 21, 2013 74 Comments

A post on Twitter by the great speaker and author, Billy Cox, quoted former General Electric Chairman and CEO, Jack Welch as saying: “Nothing of any importance has ever been accomplished by a pessimist.” To me, this rings true.
