Readers of the Daily Big Idea regularly write to me to share their reactions, their ideas, and their questions. One of the more popular questions that comes in is regarding recommended readings on various topics. So beginning today I’m launching a new weekly entry called From the Guru;s Bookshelf. Here’s how it will work.
Each Wednesday I’ll post a book recommendation for entrepreneurs, CEOs, and growing business leaders, along with a link to order your copy. Readers are invited to submit suggestions and to share their reactions to the recommendations in the comments section.
My hope is that these books will add value to your life, expand your mind, and lead you to take action in the areas where you can have the greatest impact in growing your business.
This week’s recommendation is:

It’s Called Work for a Reason!
Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault
by Larry Winget, aka The Pitbull of Personal DevelopmentŪ
Simply put…I love this book. It is candid, in your face, and dead on target. If you are not ready for a serious slap to the side of the head to wake you up to the realities of what today’s workplaces are really like, the I don’t recommend that you read it…it will only make you mad! But then again, perhaps that is exactly why everyone should read it…to remind us of just how important it is to everyone’s personal and professional success that we take responsibility for our lives and the things that are happening in them.
It may be obvious that I am a fan of Winget’s work…I find the direct, blunt, in-your-face style refreshing and real in a way that few business books are today. He doesn’t waste time with nice anecdotes and he doesn’t suggest polite solutions. He simply tells it as he sees it, and within the message lie powerful gems that can be extracted and put to work right away.
Buy it, read it, share it, and do your best to live it…you AND your business will both grow through the experience!
