    Talking Great books for inspiration

    Hey all... I just finished reading a few books by Ken Blanchard that, in my opinion are a MUST READ for anyone looking to go into the service industry, if not for any industry. Here are the ones I read, though I am sure there are other greats!

    Raving Fans

    If you've read em, let me know what you thought, if you haven't....what are ya waitin for?!

    its for all service industry... it introduces a revolutionary approach to customer service as well as techniques for building positive relationships, say with coworkers, customers, and bosses... but it can go as far as improving relations with family and friends as well... definitely worth the read...

    "Empire of Debt"

    It's not exactly a feel good book but makes you face the current economic situation in the US and really pushed me to think about the way that I had previously been using my money.

    Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
    It is a bit dated... but strong in principles. They do have versions available that pertain to a more contemporary setting. Napoleon explains in great detail on how to achieve a passionate desire for a life long success in entrepreneurship vs. seeing the money only.

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
    Good explanation and summary of the four sectors:
    S - Self Employed
    I - Investor
    B - Business Owner
    E - Employed

    Other topics: Real Estate Investing, Passive Income, Assets, Liabilities and Financial IQ to name a few. All these topics told in a story - it is a highly effective way to gain comprehension and change the mind set from wager earner to entrepreneur/investor.

    Good to Great - Jim Collins
    Focuses on public ran companies with empirical data to prove what companies did in order to maintain and grow investor interests.

    There are so many to list!
    Until thought is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment. -Robert Allen
