Frank and humorous, here is his perspective on finding a Good Man...and avoiding the Losers! "This is the one book every mom should slip into her daughter's duffle bag before she leaves for college. It's the wisdom no one teaches in the classroom, but should: how to make smart dating choices that will lead to happiness. This is 'The Talk' every girl needs to hear, but won't listen to if it comes from her own parent!" - Rachel Greenwald, New York Times bestselling author & dating coach "Mark Berzins is one of the most refreshing and real guests I've ever interviewed on The Morning Blend. His book is also bold and insightful. How many guys will admit most guys are losers? Berzins' book is a road map to find the good guys; it's also a guide to avoiding the jerks. A must read for my two daughters, but, more importantly, for my son - because I want him to grow up to be one of the winners." - Molly Fay, host of "The Morning Blend" on Milwaukee NBC affiliate WTMJ-TV, TODAY'S TMJ4

Book excerpt: “Good Losers” takes us to a small Midwestern town called Coral. It has only had its own high school for five years and its football team has never won a single game, going 0-45. On top of that, their head football coach has just quit only a few weeks before the start of fall football practice to take a teaching job in another state. Enter Coach Henry Gayton, a highly successful but now retired Hall of Fame head college football coach who lives in Coral. Discouraged at first with the lack of talent, Coach is determined to make them into winners. The only really talented player, initially, is Dexter Middleton. But building a whole team around a lineman, even a great one, is very difficult. Along the way, Coach is able to add several players to the team and this is the story of how this group of “losers” came together to become not only a team but a family. This story has been floating around in the back of the author’s mind for over 40 years and now he would like to share it with you. There are sad parts, happy parts, and funny parts. Hopefully, you will have as much fun reading it as the author had writing it.

Download or read book How to Win in a Winner Take All World written by Neil Irwin and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author and senior economic correspondent at The New York Times, how to survive—and thrive—in this increasingly challenging economy. Every ambitious professional is trying to navigate a perilous global economy to do work that is lucrative and satisfying, but some find success while others struggle to get by. In an era of remarkable economic change, how should you navigate your career to increase your chances of landing not only on your feet, but ahead of those around you? In How to Win in a Winner-Take-All World, Neil Irwin, senior economic correspondent at the New York Times, delivers the essential guide to being successful in today’s economy when the very notion of the “job” is shifting and the corporate landscape has become dominated by global firms. He shows that the route to success lies in cultivating the ability to bring multiple specialties together—to become a “glue person” who can ensure people with radically different technical skills work together effectively—and how a winding career path makes you better prepared for today's fast-changing world. Through original data, close analysis, and case studies, Irwin deftly explains the 21st century economic landscape and its implications for ambitious people seeking a lifetime of professional success. Using insights from global giants like Microsoft, Walmart, and Goldman Sachs, and from smaller lesser known organizations like those that make cutting-edge digital effects in Planet of the Apes movies or Jim Beam bourbon, How to Win in a Winner-Take-All World illuminates what it really takes to be on top in this world of technological complexity and global competition.

Download or read book Play to Win written by Jerry Glover and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you begin reading this book, you can't put it down. It is easy reading. There are two kinds of people in this world; those that are saved and those that are unsaved. The book will be support to the saved and "door opening" for the unsaved. Christ and football are the common denominators that tie it together. I knew Coach Glover when I played against one of his Etowah County football teams in 1948 while I attended Woodlawn High School. I think they beat us 2-0 in a driving rain. Reading about Jim and Jerry's experiences, with being saved, and having Jerry find out what "grace " is all about is the way it happened in my life. I joined the church and was baptized when I was eleven years old. I was 23 years old before I understood that I was saved by "grace" and not by my works. After reading this book, I'm fired up and ready to go again. Bobby Bowden Head Football Coach Florida State University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do you hope to go with your life, your career, and your relationships? How will you muster the energy to keep on keeping on, in the good times and the bad? What skills do you have to learn—and then use—to make sure you get the payoffs you really want in your professional life and your personal life? The problem with so many positive-thinking books and self-help routines is that they don’t give you the whole formula. The Payoff Principle gives you that formula—Purpose + Passion + Process = Payoff—and then works as your guidebook, teaching you how to apply the formula to achieve success at work, at home, and everywhere you go. When you find purpose in what you do, exhibit passion for the outcome, and master the process to make it happen, you produce the payoffs you want, need, and deserve. Plenty of people have done exactly that, whether consciously and deliberately or accidently and luckily. But, you don’t have to depend on luck anymore. You have a formula for getting what you want. You have a practical set of strategies guaranteed to deliver greater happiness and success than you’ve ever experienced. All you have to do now is read The Payoff Principle to learn how to implement the formula to experience the new-and-complete you.

Download or read book Call from the Cave written by Jon Huer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the nature of power in persons, groups, and nations by asking a question that we can understand in contemporary terms: what would Bill Gates do if he had Hitler's absolute power? It is a sociological question that exposes power as a tool of control over the powerless, not as a psychological trait or manners of personal interactions. With Hitler's power, any individual, group, or nation could become as crazy as Hitler or as cruel as the Nazis. Call from the Cave argues that the savage struggle for power, exemplified in the free market system of America--history's first and purest "natural" society--is in our very human nature. In the footsteps of the ancient Romans and the recent Nazis, we push on in every waking moment of our lives to expand our power and to control the souls and minds of other human beings to do our bidding. The book concludes that this is the very destiny of humanity we cannot escape.

Download or read book Leaders Eat Last written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, based on Simon Sinek's viral video "Millenials in the workplace" (150+ million views). Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last," he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.
