Hello Everyone!

This week we’ve got 3 new book summaries for you that you can watch or listen to.

Questions That Sell by Paul Cherry (watch on Monday-Tuesday)

The path to developing true business relationships is to ask great sales questions.

In one of the greatest metaphors ever employed in a business book, author Paul Cherry calls great sales questions “truth-seeking missiles.”

Click here on Monday or Tuesday to watch this summary.

How the Mighty Fall by Jim Collins (watch on Wednesday-Thursday)

This book is a look into how this decline happens in 5 distinct stages, and how we can avoid a similar fate by taking active steps to rise again.

We’ll work through each of the 4 stages of decline (step 5 is death, so there’s no coming back from that), look at the markers for each stage so you can figure out where you are today, and look at concrete advice to climbing your way back out.

Principles by Ray Dalio (watch on Friday-Sunday)

The rise of Bridgewater from his apartment in Manhattan to a world power in the financial world is remarkable. What’s even more remarkable is the way he did it, and what he attributes his success to.

“Whatever success I’ve had in life has had more to do with my knowing how to deal with my not knowing than anything I know. The most important thing I learned is an approach to life based on principles that helps me find out what’s true and what to do about it.”
