SUCCESS STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Nate Leber This is Nate Leber, at Leber Design and Print in sunny Columbus, Ohio; the Buckeye State. The best book I have read this year was a toss-up. But for me, probably, it's "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. I liked that book. Because, for me, I'm the type of person that always likes a kick in the pants rather than a pat on the back. So if you're that kind of mentality, you'll enjoy this book. It's great because it challenges you in every aspect of your life, to be better, to push things to be the best you can be, and not settle for mediocrity. But the best part about it as well is that it's not just a book about that it chronicles David Goggins' life and how he did those things in his life. But he also gives you challenges, and gives you different steps throughout the book to journal and figure out what those things are in your life and how to overcome those hurdles. So, for me, that's why it's so good because it's not only a great book and a great story, but also it's actionable and impactful, and anybody can apply it. So, it is a great book in that sense, but you know, a slight disclaimer would be that it can be a bit harsh if you want to call blunt honesty harsh, and so it may not be the right fit for everyone. But if you go into it with the right mindset, it's a great book for anyone and I would recommend it to anyone that can take it the proper way. So that's my book for 2020. David Goggins "Can't Hurt Me". Great book, definitely would recommend checking it out for anyone that hasn't. Shawn LaFave Hey, everybody. This is Shawn LaFave with North Georgia Promotions here in Alpharetta, Georgia. Marshall asked me to talk about my favorite book of all time. And I would have to say that is "The E Myth" by Michael Gerber. It hit home in a lot of different ways, talking about entrepreneur-minded people, your technicians, and then your managers. And it always, I go back to the premise of work on your business is not and not in your business. So, that's what I found to be the biggest help in my business life is that book and I think I read it... it'd be well over 20 years ago. So it's a good read still today. So thank you very much for asking Marshall and we'll talk to you later. Jay Busselle Hi, my name is Jay Busselle. And I am the Chief Taco Officer. That's kind of self-appointed. CTO: Chief Taco Officer. Anyway, you guys get it. I pretend to be the Marketing Director at Equipment Zone. And I live and work in Phoenix, Arizona. And Marshall challenged me to share some books or something from a book that had impacted me recently. And while I had some extra time on my hands a few months ago, I checked out some of the old books frommy library. I was surprised by how many books I had on sales and selling. The one that stood out the most was probably the oldest book on sales that I own. I'm pretty sure I've had this book for more than 20 years. And I know I've read it at least now I want to say three times. But I'll say it for sure twice. And I know I've read parts of it many, many times because I just go back to it. But this book has the most notes and the most underlines and the most highlighted sections for sure. And this book is “The Greatest Salesman in the World”. And it was written by Og Mandino and Og, by the way, short for Oggy or August. This anyway, was written as a guide. It's almost like a philosophy on sales, as a philosophy on success in sales. So before telling stories was all the rage, this book was written a long time ago 1968. And so does it still apply? Sure it does. This is a story of a boy -- this boy is younger, his name is Hafid. And he's a poor camel boy who eventually achieves a life of total abundance. At the core of this story is this philosophy that is centered on 10 scrolls. The primary message of this book is to do it now. And I think that's so important and I struggle with that, in one of
