The Go-Giver. What can I say about that book?

As part of the Master Class (homework for the first week of the class) John Thornhill asked us to get and read the book “The Go-Giver“, preferably before the next class started. And he was very persistent in this request. Okay, so I order the book. Of course it didn’t even get here until after the second week of class! And by the time I got done reading it, we were already in the third week of the class. I am normally never that late with an assignment! But once I got started on the book, I finished it in one afternoon.

Joe, the “hero” of the book, is a hard-working ambitious young man, a “Go-Getter”. He has a deadline, needs to meet his quota for the quarter. But no matter how hard he tries, it doesn’t seem to be happening. Even trying to call in favors fails. So, desperate, he seeks the advise of the Pindar, an extremely successful consultant.

Instead of being intimidating, Pindar turns out to be very likable, and after Joe agrees to Pindar’s condition, Pindar decides to share with him the secret of his success. The book then takes you through the following week, where Pindar, together with some very successful “Go-Givers”,  teaches Joe the secret of his success. Joe learns about the “Five Laws of Stratospheric Success” which will change Joe’s life. That’s about all I can say about the book without giving everything away.

The Go-Giver is well written and will make you think twice about the way you’ve been doing business! Once you get started on it, you’ll have a hard time putting it down! Go check it out!
