89. Book Review | Be obsessed or be Average by Grant Cardone

Image
I picked this book randomly. I love the name of the book. The story of the author Grant Cardone is very interesting. He was a drug addict till he was 25 and then came his defining moment when he decided to change his life for good and what a comeback he has made. The best book about becoming a rich can come from a person who has done it all by himself. Grant Cardone is one such dude. I follow him on twitter now and I have read all the books written by him by. I wanted to review this book for a long time and finally, i have decided to review and post my opinions about it. The book has opened my minds to the powers of social media. I don't do much of twitter, facebook or Instagram and I never found the need for it. He showed me that one has to move with the speed of the world to become rich in the contemporary world. I have read a lot of books on becoming rich as my prime aim has changed recently to becoming rich from filmmaking. I can do filmmaking only when I can become rich ...

1.     Don’t think about publishing your book before finishing it. 2.     Write daily. No matter what. Make it a discipline to write something daily. Delete it the next day but write daily. 3.     First draft is not what you publish. So write whatever you want. It will get edited eventually.

Image
Do you know Adidas and Puma are owned by brothers who turned rivals in one part of their life and one of the brothers decided to quit and open his own company. The elder brother owns Adidas, and the younger brother owns Puma. It is a wonder that they started two companies separately and son both company turned to be one of the best brands of the world. Well, I started with the Tivia to build your interest into the article. I read this book few days back and i immediately wanted to write the review of this book but then procrastination took over and i didn't write any blog for few days. It was the the first thing that i wanted to put on my blog because i know many of you people don't even know about it. The journey of Phil Knight and is nothing less than amazing. Frankly, I used to think that NIKE was a very old brand and it's owner might have died till now leaving his abundance of wealth to his grand kids. I never tried to know about it but it came on a suggesti...

31. Delivering happiness - Zappos Story - A must read book.

Image
The best thing I liked about this biography which tells you about the birth of a Company i it's humorous writing. It is a very interesting read. It is more of a biography of Tony Hsieh and his life and unlike the last book that i read about Jia Jang, he doesn't mention his personal life too much. He only reveals as much personal life as is necessary, only those parts that are connected somewhere with the story and birth of Zappos.  Tony Hsieh started his humble journey, which is not so humble because he was a topper throughout and a Harvard graduate which means he already had his mind int he right place. The good thing about him was that he was ready to take risks, he would read a lot of books, he had a great set of people around and he was thoroughly a great optimistic person. He was charged for success. He writes this book like good things happen to hum and he wasn't expecting them. It was his positive nature.  Tony Hsieh didn't actually create Zappos, he was ...
