"The Go Giver" -Book Review

     "The Go Giver- A little story about a powerful business idea." A book by Bob Burg and David Mann.


A little story about a powerful business idea.

This is a story about a guy named Joe. Joe is a "go getter"! A salesman that, try as he might he can't fill his quota for the quarter. So in a last ditch effort he asks for help from the legendary "Pendar"- that's really his name- to obtain the secret of "stratospheric success". Pendar takes Joe, over the course of a few weeks, on a tour of the city, where he is introduced to some "go givers". People who are successful in their endeavors because they helped others to be successful. Over the course of the book Joe learns the five secrets to "stratospheric success":
    
     The Law of Value.
     The Law of Compensation.
     The Law of Influence.
     The Law of Authenticity.
     The Law of Receptivity.

     This is an engaging book that I picked up after it was recommended by a friend. The concept is straight forward and was plucked straight out of the Bible. "Give and you shall receive". A concept that is pretty much unheeded in the world today as it seems everyone is subscribing to the "It's all about me" philosophy. Zig Ziglar says, "You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want". Check it out. This book is worth a read but is a bit pricey. Perhaps the authors should read it. You might see if your local library has a copy.
