I’ve found some amazing resources over the years that have dramatically accelerated my success. These are the top resources that have helped me reshape my life.
Don’t Miss These
Success Magazine – I first heard of Success Magazine in a Zig Ziglar talk. He just casually mentioned it and said, “you owe it to yourself to get this magazine.” I checked it out and was hooked. This is filled with great insights and techniques to help you achieve the highest levels of success. The best part is that each issue comes with a 60 minute audio CD of interviews. I cannot overstate how much I’ve learned from this single monthly resource!
Audible.com - I listen to audio books constantly. My commute is about 90 minutes a day which menas I can consume a lot of material. For $15 a month I can download one book a month. That’s 12 books a year just driving around! I’ve listend to books about everything from leadership to investing. The stuff I’ve learned by using the time I spend driving has really changed my life for the better. I’m hooked!
The Compound Effect - This is my new highest recommended book. It’s phenomenal! Darren Hardy, the author, is the publisher of Success Magazine and has spent countless hours learning from the best of the best in goal setting and achievement. From that experience he created The Compound Effect which gives you a pragmatic road map to your own success story. If you’ve read my blog or hung out with me you’ve probably seen me using these techniques. I can honestly say this book, if applied, will help you achieve your biggest goals!
Success Accelerators
Design Your Best Year Ever - This is my first year using this resource and it won’t be my last! Darren Hardy (yes, again) walks you through the process of setting and achieving your annual goals. I love this because it’s a workbook format which lays out the process very clearly. I carry my workbook with me daily and the level of progress I’ve had in 2011 has been astounding! My wife and I were just talking about how much has been accomplished and how stoked we are to see how far we get. Success is addicting and this book is a great recipe to get you going.
No More Mondays - Dan Miller’s book inspired me to take a hard look at the career path I was on. Within a year I had started my first business and was off on an amazing adventure! I’ve returned to Dan Miller’s work numerous times for inspiration and guidance to living out my passion. Warning: reading this book may upset your comfortable routine and make you think!
