Two things you need to survive in todays business world… Balls & Guts
These books are a definite asset to any business person, creative or not, who wants to score extreme success. These books are well written, extremely insightful, and fun to look at. I find these two books work well together, while GUT focuses on how to listen to and understand your gut instinct, BALLSY gives you the skills you need to act upon these instincts.
Ballsy: 99 Ways to Grow a Bigger Pair and Score Extreme Business Success
Starting with her theory that talent is on about 3% of the success pie, in BALLSY, she lets you know what skills make up the other 97% and how to use them. #1 More important that talent, have Balls! Along with the tips come detailed descriptions of how to use them and real world examples of where they have been used. Her unflinching advice and straightforward tactics can help you get the career you’ve always wanted. After all, your success is only as large as your determination.
Gut: How to Think from Your Middle to Get to the Top
In GUT you will learn that the key to making the correct business decision, the one that will work, does not come from crunching numbers and analyzing reports, but from listening to your gut instincts. Salmansohn’s basic philosophy here is that the smartest decisions are always based on being attracted to opportunity, priorities, and high values. She illustratesd these points through a series of short, useful and humorous tips on how to squelch the internal voice that until now has been hindering your ability to make the correct decision by learning to tap into your gut instinct. NO PAIN NO GAIN!
