Products
This section contains products that I would personally recommend with regards to expanding your understanding and improving your ability to think. I spend most of my time researching material and learning about new concepts, both on-line, through books and through audio seminars. Some of the products in this section have completely altered my view on reality and given me a far richer understanding of the world.
Audio Programs
Audio programs are an excellent way to learn when you are on the move. You have the chance to put all your time to good use and broaden your understanding and expand your knowledge base. If you are into speaking, then audio programs are an excellent way to improve your speaking skills by learning from some of the best public speakers around. You will find a complete assortment of great audio programs at Your Success Store.
You might also want to have a look at the Nightingale Conant Store, which gives you an even greater assortment of personal development audio programs and other personal development material. For the sake of convenience I will review some of the best programs right here on this website.
Jim Rohn 2004 Leadership Event. This event covers everything from fundamental philosophy of good business to real estate investing. This was one of the better audio programs because of the breadth of the subjects covered. Because of the breadth of ideas covered and the condensed nature of the way in which this information is delivered, this recording will alter your way of thinking more than any other educational material around. All the general principles that you need to know about business are in here – in their condensed form.
Books
Why should you read non-fictional literature? Here are some of the reasons that you might want to consider:
- You will gain a far broader understanding of the world by teaching you patterns that you can apply to your reality.
- You will gain a better understanding of your problems and the challenges that you are facing in your life.
- You can become an expert in any field if you read at least on book every week on the subjects related to your field for the rest of your life.
You will find the latest library of books that I like within my Amazon Store. You can buy the books right away from that store and order them over the internet right into your mail box. Although I personally check out many of my books at the library, what’s great about buying books is that you can annotate them and mark out the sentences that have made the biggest impact on you. Additionally you can always go back to the books when you need them and use your own library as a database of knowledge that you can have easy access to whenever you need it.
There are certain non-fictional books that almost everyone should read. For the sake of convenience, I will do a quick review of these books right here on this page.
Maximum Achievement. A book by Brian Tracy about the development of your inner talents, a vision for the future and the intention manifestation model for goal achievement. What I like most about this book is the idea of intense concentration upon a goal, followed by releasing the goal from our minds and waiting for the proper opportunities and ideas to emerge. This is a very powerful way to goal achievement because most large scale goals take years, if not decades, to achieve. With constant refinement of ideas every goal is achievable.
The Magic Of Thinking BIG. What it basically means to think big is that you think in ideas that give birth to an great number of smaller ideas that may be implemented one by one in the real world. The building of Hewlett Packard was one such idea and the same applies to Apple Computers. This book teaches you the kind of thinking that enables you to think up big ideas on your own. Everyone has the capacity to develop big ideas and implement them, if only they put in the effort into refining these ideas over time. Ideas are like chickens – they need to be incubated. ;-)
How To Develop Self-Confidence Through Public Speaking. A book written by Dale Carnegie in the beginning of 20:th century on how to overcome the fear of public speaking. This book teaches you how to overcome fears of doing presentations in front of a group. You might also want to consider joining Toastmasters International to practice your skills. The fear of public speaking is indeed one of the greatest fears in our society and it is a problem because so many people have valuable experiences that they can share with others if only they have had the confidence to get up there on the stage and speak.
Think And Grow Rich. This is a distillation of all the ideas and strategies that some of the most successful people have applied in the western culture during 20:th century. This is a book of high level ideas that your mind will break down into smaller ideas over time. What’s powerful about high end ideas is that they tend to give birth to more and more smaller ideas that you actually can implement in the real world. Certainly a book that you should read if you are looking for success. In this case success is anything that you may want in life regardless of what other people around you want.
Site Build It: Internet Marketing
Today every small business should have a website. As a small business owner you want your customers to be able to find you on-line and the best way to make that happen is to have a quality website that enables your customers to get to know you and get in touch with you.
Most business owners have no idea how to set up and run a website that generates traffic and leads. In fact, most people are completely clueless in general on how to market themselves on-line. I have been in the same situation myself when I started this blog.
