Thrivers Book Club

What We're reading in July

Gold Standard
business & Leadership development

This book almost didn’t make it to my list. You see I think Gary Vaynerchuk is an amazingly brilliant businessman, but every time I hear him speak my anxiety goes through the roof. He’s so animated and loud and although I appreciate his “I don’t give a f*ck about what anyone thinks of me and my ideas,” his delivery is tough for me and his never-ending hustle philosophy is one I don’t subscribe to.

So then along comes this book – well for one thing, it’s a book, no yelling here and the other thing, it’s about the critical need for story telling in marketing. Now this is something I think I and many can benefit from, so here it is for the month of July our book club read: Jab,Jab, Jab, Right Hook, by Gary Vaynerchuk.

I hope you’ll join me in reading this and maybe on the call this month, we can practice with each other. You in?

Customer Reviews

I wish I could have read this book years ago to avoid many of the mistakes I have made -- and thus not achieved my goals. This book is full of logical and practical tips for goal setting--and I definitely see how they could be actionable. - Dorene

The FlipSide of Failure had me continuously thinking
about many of the goals I had started, the ambitions I have had at various points of my life, and helped me understand why I may not have accomplished them. The format of the book felt like a supportive friend who truly believed in my ability to accomplish anything. The missions and assignments suggested are all relevant and truly fill the gaps where I may have lost steam in my goals previously. I would highly recommend the FlipSide of Failure for anyone who has hit a bump or stumpled in achieving their goals in the past and looking for a boost in the right direction. - Jessica
--------------------
A straightforward and concise recipe for creating a successful goal-setting - and achieving - system by an experienced mentor and coach. Elizabeth has created a very simple and actionable approach to what can be a daunting task. There are a myriad of goal-setting books and gurus out there that offer bloated and complicated systems, but the author here cuts through all the BS and not only breaks it down into doable steps, but also gives you hope that your goals are very much achievable with the right mindset and focus.
I particularly like how it isn't written as a lecture, but more like you're having a conversation with the author. A very no-nonsense approach in a very direct and friendly manner.
Even if you've read 100 goal-setting books before, add this one to your shelf. You'll be glad you did! - David

I have recently discovered Steven Kotler and I am so intrigued by his work with “flow states”. This book immediately jumped to the top of my reading list after hearing an interview where he spoke of the power of being in flow and how that impacts both productivity and creativity.
As he began discussing the factors of the state I could recognize times I have been “in flow” but had no idea this was a state or what it could mean.
Now, having some idea, I’ve got to know more and you’re in luck if you choose to take this ride along with me.
So let’s get into flow together with this month’s selection: The Rise of Superman, by Steven Kotler
