Download or read book Love and Selling written by Dan Smaida and published by Beaver's Pond Press. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's face it: there's a lot of sucky selling going on in the world today. Sellers have been trained to use artificial tactics in pursuit of the sale. Like a woman in a bar bracing for another cheesy, tired pickup line, customers are now warier than ever. In ''Love and Selling,'' Dan Smaida uses the Lens of Love to call out all those cheesy, cringe-worthy 'tactics' and offer more authentic alternatives. The book uses the simple lessons we all understand about love and relationships to transform the way we think about selling. No 'sales processes,' no seller-centric models, just tried-and-true behaviors that work in business . . . and in love. When sellers ditch the tricks and focus on developing true relationships, they create real partnerships with customers, enjoy their jobs more, and see better results.

Download or read book It s Great to Suck at Something written by Karen Rinaldi and published by Atria Books. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how the freedom of sucking at something can help you build resilience, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the pursuit rather than the goal. What if the secret to resilience and joy is the one thing we’ve been taught to avoid? When was the last time you tried something new? Something that won’t make you more productive, make you more money, or check anything off your to-do list? Something you’re really, really bad at, but that brought you joy? Odds are, not recently. As a sh*tty surfer and all-around-imperfect human Karen Rinaldi explains in this eye-opening book, we live in a time of aspirational psychoses. We humblebrag about how hard we work and we prioritize productivity over play. Even kids don’t play for the sake of playing anymore: they’re building blocks to build the ideal college application. But we’re all being had. We’re told to be the best or nothing at all. We’re trapped in an epic and farcical quest for perfection. We judge others on stuff we can’t even begin to master, and it’s all making us more anxious and depressed than ever. Worse, we’re not improving on what really matters. This book provides the antidote. (It’s Great to) Suck at Something reveals that the key to a richer, more fulfilling life is finding something to suck at. Drawing on her personal experience sucking at surfing (a sport she’s dedicated nearly two decades of her life to doing without ever coming close to getting good at it) along with philosophy, literature, and the latest science, Rinaldi explores sucking as a lost art we must reclaim for our health and our sanity and helps us find the way to our own riotous suck-ability. She draws from sources as diverse as Anthony Bourdain and surfing luminary Jaimal Yogis, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Jean-Paul Sartre, among many others, and explains the marvelous things that happen to our mammalian brains when we try something new, all to discover what she’s learned firsthand: it is great to suck at something. Sucking at something rewires our brain in positive ways, helps us cultivate grit, and inspires us to find joy in the process, without obsessing about the destination. Ultimately, it gives you freedom: the freedom to suck without caring is revelatory. Coupling honest, hilarious storytelling with unexpected insights, (It’s Great to) Suck at Something is an invitation to embrace our shortcomings as the very best of who we are and to open ourselves up to adventure, where we may not find what we thought we were looking for, but something way more important.

Download or read book Things that Suck written by Jason Kaplan and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life and the problems that plague it are best viewed not in relation to what has gone wrong, but what could go wrong. After all, life is about perspective, right? So, when you can't seem to escape Murphy's law, take solace with a few passages from humorist Jason Kaplan's Things that Suck. From getting dumped and having no one to kiss on New Year's Eve, to the nightly news, frivolous lawsuits, Jar Jar Binks, and, yes, even mosquitoes, Things that Suck flows with all the unpleasantries that rank high and low on the Kaplan scale of suckage. Lauded by New York Magazine as "surprisingly perceptive," Things that Suck calls attention to examples of suckitude such as: * The morning commute * Your driver's license photo * Overly perky people * People who think they're great at British accents * The kid kicking the back of your seat * That kid's parents Think of this book as company for your misery, or as an intriguing way to understand the complicated world we've created and the complex variety with which it screws us over each and every day. Whether you've experienced schadenfreude (deriving pleasure from another's misfortune), or you've simply had a no-good, very bad, terrible day, take comfort with Kaplan's compendium, Things that Suck, and realize things aren't so dreadful after all.

No, forgiveness doesn't mean that you condone what they did to harm you. What it actually means is that you no longer have to be burdened by that hurt. Until you forgive them, they'll be occupying space in your mind period. Don't let them live in your head rent-free like that! They're taking up space that you could devote to something nourishing like your friendships or getting to know someone new.Let yourself have whatever feelings you do and try to let them move through you. It's normal to feel angry or depressed or hopeless at times. When the feelings come, see if you can feel them and move on. It's healthy and normal to have big feelings after a breakup.When you're ready, open yourself up to new relationships. It may take a bit of time or it may not. It can sometimes be a mistake to get into another relationship immediately following a breakup. But we won't judge! You shouldn't feel bad for looking for another partner right away nor should you feel pressured into entering another relationship before you're ready.

Download or read book The Suck Less Job Search written by Adam J. Reiter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regular job searches SUCK! They don't have to if you know what to do. Put yourself in the driver's seat of your job search and get amazing job offers from companies you're dying to work with. After years of coaching students to C-Suite executives at Fortune 500's I developed a custom-tailored job search strategy designed to keep the job seeker engaged in their search and drive the offers they really want, really quickly. About this project: I've spent my career helping senior executives, talented professionals and new graduates find their dream jobs. Their job searches were slow, stalled or even DOA before we met; after just a few weeks of working together, they landed jobs they wanted. And they loved the work we did together. I bottled up the best step-by-step advice from these one-on-one sessions into 120 action-packed pages, just for you. Take it and run. Who should read this book? If you want a new job right now, you need to read this book. If you want to be known in your industry, you need to read this book. If you want your dream employer to create a job for you, you need to read this book. What you'll learn: How to take back your search and get employers to chase YOU How to take HR/Corporate Recruiters out of the process and get offers directly from hiring managers How to create an undeniable value in the market that will generate offers for you and you alone For Job Seekers: You need a new job right now. I'll show you how to: Use proven strategies to beat out more qualified competition Reignite a dead search Move into a new field Win every interview using a simple, two-step process For Rock Stars: You like where you are, but you have one eye on the next big thing and you want to build your profile. I'll show you how to: Make companies fight over you when they hear your story Stand out to recruiters and executives running "secret searches" Make your current employer beg to give you promotions for fear of losing you to the competition For Students: You're graduating, your loan payments are due and you don't know where to start. I'll show you how to: Beat out your competition, including more seasoned job seekers Get the $$$'s you really deserve instead of taking a salary you can barely live off of Set yourself up for the best promotions and job offers for your entire career Why this book? Most job search advice is terrible. Job searches are miserable. And I could spend every hour of every day of my life advising job seekers and I wouldn't scratch the surface of the need in this area. I want to reach as many people as possible with this message. I want to help job seekers take back control of their search. Everyday people come to me that need my help to find great jobs but they simply can't afford my services. Even with the 10 hours a week that I set aside for pro bono work it doesn't scratch the surface of the demand for real help for job seekers that have been struggling for months and sometimes, years.

Download or read book Why We Don t Suck written by Denis Leary and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling Why We Suck comes a searing comic look at these divisive times, skewering liberals and conservatives alike with a signature dose of sarcasm and common sense. In an America so gluten-free that a box of jelly donuts is now a bigger threat than Vladimir Putin, where college kids are more afraid of Ann Coulter than HIV, it’s time for someone to stand up and make us all smell the covfefe. Dr. Denis Leary is that guy. With Why We DON’T Suck: And How All of Us Need to Stop Being Such Partisan Little Bitches, Denis is on a devoted mission to #MakeAmericaLaughAgain. Using the clamorous political atmosphere as a starting point, he takes a bipartisan look at the topics we all hold so dear to our patriotic hearts—including family, freedom, and the seemingly endless search for fame and diet vodka. Denis will answer important questions like: When will Hillary blame herself? Why does Beyoncé think he’s Bryan Adams? And why doesn’t he follow the millennial lead and post pictures of his food on social media? (Spoiler alert: He’s too busy actually eating it.) Not that Denis has anything against millennials: “When it comes to science, math, and technological advances, this generation has done more in three and a half decades than any other age group in history. What did my generation do? Cocaine and quaaludes mostly. With a side order of really stupid haircuts.” Dr. Leary is here to remind us of what truly makes America great, even though we’re #7 on the most recent list of Best Countries to Live In. Which may sound bad but means we still make the playoffs.

Download or read book Do What You Love written by Miya Tokumitsu and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American claim that we should love and be passionate about our job may sound uplifting, or at least, harmless, but Do What You Love exposes the tangible damages such rhetoric has leveled upon contemporary society. Virtue and capital have always been twins in the capitalist, industrialized West. Our ideas of what the “virtues” of pursuing success in capitalism have changed dramatically over time. In the past, we believed that work undertaken with an ethos of industriousness promised financial stability and basic comfort and security for our families. Now, our working life is conflated with the pursuit of pleasure. Fantastically successful—and popular—entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey command us. “You’ve got to love what you do,” Jobs tells an audience of college grads about to enter the workforce, while Winfrey exhorts her audience to “live your best life.” The promises made to today’s workers seem so much larger and nobler than those of previous generations. Why settle for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage and a perfectly functional eight-year-old car when you can get rich becoming your “best” self and have a blast along the way? But workers today are doing more and more for less and less. This reality is frighteningly palpable in eroding paychecks and benefits, the rapid concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny few, and workers’ loss of control over their labor conditions. But where is the protest and anger from workers against a system that tells them to love their work and asks them to do it for less? While winner-take-all capitalism grows ever more ruthless, the rhetoric of passion for labor proliferates. In Do What You Love, Tokumitsu articulates and examines the sacrifices people make for a chance at loveable, self-actualizing, and, of course, wealth-generating work and the conditions facilitated by this pursuit. This book continues the conversation sparked by the author’s earlier Slate article and provides a devastating look at the state of modern America’s labor and workforce.

Book excerpt: Members of America’s armed forces have their own distinctive language: milspeak. Especially since WWII, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines have invented and adapted their own slang vocabularies, creating a colorful insider’s lingo of bureaucratic buzzwords, acronyms, mock jargon, dark humor, and outright profanity.

This comprehensive field manual, complete with descriptive and humorous illustrations, includes more than 500 colorful entries including: Voluntold: Derisive slang for “I was ordered to volunteer.” Back to the taxpayers: Navy slang for where a wrecked aircraft gets sent. Dome of obedience: Slang for a military helmet. Also called a brain bucket or Skid Lid. Echelons above reality: Higher headquarters where no one has an idea about what is really happening. Embrace the suck: The situation is bad, deal with it. Embrace the Suck is the perfect gift for the soldier, sailor, marine, or airman in your life—or for the Beltway Clerk* who yearns to speak like one. *Derisive term for a Washington political operative or civilian political hatchet man.

Book excerpt: Written by a leading mental skills coach and contributing editor to Runner's World (US), this is a practical guide to building the psychological resilience that athletes need to recover from injury and rebound stronger. Injuries affect every athlete, from the elite Olympian to the weekend racer. In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger, and more confident than ever. The key to a swifter, stronger comeback is the use of mental skills: psychological tools that enable an athlete to take control of their recovery and ultimately use the experience to their advantage. Injury and other setbacks are inevitable – but with training, overcoming them skillfully and confidently is possible.
