Fantastic book about how to find hidden gems in people (including yourself!)

Revisado: 02-06-24

Loved this book. Grant mixes compelling stories and his own narrative to discuss the importance of trend over data point, and the path one takes to success is at least as important as the success itself. If you leverage the knowledge in here properly, it will give you a competitive advantage. It would make a great companion book with Angela Duckworth’s Grit.

Lots of good practical nuggets

Revisado: 01-16-24

I love the practical nature of the book. Rather than citing the odd academic study, the book is basically, “Here is what worked for me.” I’m a new Hormozi fan!

A good framework for figuring out what makes you different.

Revisado: 09-28-23

I recently finished this book as I’m taking a fresh look at my strengths, weaknesses and resources. I found the MILES framework strikes the right balance between simplicity and utility. I skipped the last two parts on entrepreneurship and fundraising as they didn’t apply to me and I’m not sure they belong in this book at all. But that’s far from a fatal flaw.

Seems like a worthwhile introduction to storytelling

Revisado: 09-09-23

This is a well written book that strikes a nice balance between technique and example. I’m looking to add storytelling to more of my communications and this will help.

A good story about the principally that is Russia

Revisado: 06-12-23

This was a fascinating story about governments manipulating interpol, some horrific judge decisions and a startlingly ability is the Russians to influence US policy. If you like current svents along with. Cloak and dagger stuff (and the occasional brazen KGB thuggery). You might enjoy this book.

Not sure you need to read if you read his other work.

I thought this work was OK but The Business of Expertise was much more impactful to me.

A high impact book

Revisado: 05-11-23

This book made a big impact on me. It’s chock full of good advice on knowledge based marketing and selling. I can’t think of anyone who shouldn’t read it. And the author did a nice job of narrating his own book.

A good read with some useful ideas but has its limitations

Revisado: 04-03-23

I like this book but don’t love it. The plus - it has some really good ideas and the arguments are laid out well. The minuses - there was some stumbling in the reading that should have been edited. Also I just don’t buy that every consultant can value price their services. The book could have used space to talk about how you get to the point where value pricing is realistic. The book wandered off topic for a large part, talking about collecting on late payments . It’s good content but didn’t belong in this book.

I didn’t think I’d like this book but I loved it.

Revisado: 01-28-23

Used properly this book makes you hold a mirror to yourself. It was at times uncomfortable and enlightening. I found it challenging to read in a productive way and identified 3 key areas where I need to improve myself.
