No purchase necessary and all you need to do is be an active subscriber on my eMail RSS powered by Feedburner.  You will get all of my posts sent directly to your email inbox whenever I post and will not share, lease, rent or have anyone peek at your email!  You will also be automatically subscribed to my monthly newsletter that is only sent once a month with the option to unsubscribe.  You only need to be an active RSS eMail subscriber to have a chance to win. A total of two winners will be randomly selected per month.  One for the book and one for the audio book.

Winners (2) will be selected each month and if you didn't win, you will automatically be entered in the next month's drawing and even if you win, you still have a chance to win again and again because I will literally throw your email back in the hat to select from for future monthly drawings.

August Picks: Richest Man in Babylon & Secrets of Great Rainmakers

August 12, 2010 By
richestmaninbabylon

For this month, I have selected, "The Richest Man In Babylon" by George S. Clason as my book choice for August 2010.  I have a full lineup scheduled with school as well as work so I had to select a slim book that I could finish.

It is important to make time for yourself and to give your mind a break and enjoyment by giving it some quality recreational reading.  I love reading and it is fun when I don't "have" to read but choose to read.

Many people have suggested this book to me many times and I have purchased it in the past, but will finish this book by end of month August 2010 and give my review on September 1st, 2010.

My audio book selection for this month is the, "Secrets of Great Rainmakers", by Jeffrey J. Fox.  I listened and also read his previous book, How to become a rainmaker and loved the quick nuggets of information that gives me reminders on how to be successful and provides me with best practices when I go about my day to day activities and how I interact with people.  I will give my review on this audiobook on September 1st, 2010 as well.  To learn more about each of these products check out the links below:

***I have been thinking about the books and audio books I have been buying for each month and would like to start giving them away to people who are subscribers on my rss feed.  This way, my bookshelf will not be overflowing with books and will maintain my organized uncluttered home.  I will post an update announcing this and will give away the products I read/listen to each month for free and select randomly from my list of subscribers.  If you have not subscribed to my blog yet, do so by signing up on the right sidebar.  Thank you.

Audiobook Review: Think Big & Kick Ass

August 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Last month I selected the audiobook, "Think Big & Kick Ass" by Donald Trump and Bill Zanker.  I listened to this audiobook as I was driving in traffic and during my commutes and I give this audiobook a solid 5 out of 5 stars!

I really enjoyed listening to the advice given by Mr. Trump and the topics were very thought provoking and gave me motivation as I applied them to my life.  The tips given in this audiobook can be applied to anything you are doing, whether you are in business, work for someone and even use it in your life to go for your dreams and think big. 

This audiobook served more as a motivational catalyst to have more confidence in yourself and your dreams and if you are to dream, you might as well dream big and go for what you want to accomplish in life.  The real life stories were really interesting to listen to as well and kept things upbeat.  I think I will listen to this audiobook again due to the volume of wisdom and depth of advice given.

My only complaint is the confusion of who is speaking, since Bill Zanker did the reading but it went between his thoughts and Donald Trumps so I had got lost a couple of time wondering whos experience it was and whos ideas was being presented.  Other than that I highly recommend you get yourself a copy and be prepared to be inspired and motivated.

Audiobook Selection for July 2010: Think Big & Kick Ass

June 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
think big

I am on the road quite a bit everyday so every month during my idle driving time, I try to make it more productive by selecting different audiobooks to listen to during my time in traffic and commuting to and from appointments.  I have devoured hundreds of different audiobooks throughout my life and have gained a wealth of knowledge in doing so. 

I usually select personal development titles, business, motivational, biographies and have never listened to a novel.  So every week, I will be making a selection of which audiobook I am reading and provide my review at the end of the month. 

My selection for July 2010 will be "Think Big and Kick Ass" by Donald Trump and Bill Zanker.  The title just caught me and I admire the success the Donald has achieved in his life and how he is able to not only be a real estate tycoon, but an entertainer and has in hands in numerous diferent business ventures.  Bill Zanker is the main author in this audiobook and he is the person behind bringing Donald Trump to different cities doing speaking engagements at a price no less than One million Dollars.  What I wanted to learn was how this guy was able to not only get some of the big name people to work with him and his keys to success.  Success leaves clues and by listening to those who have done it before, I will gain pearls of wisdom with each audiobook I devour.  Another reason why I chose this audiobook was the fact that it will provide real life stories of how thinking big has helped make people millions and billions of dollars.  I am looking forward to listening to the whole audiobook.

I have already started listening to the 1st CD and so far, it is GOOD!  I am actually gonna listen to it over again since the messages and lessons Bill spoke about were very powerful. 

My personal review of this product will be posted on August 1st, 2010 along with my new audiobook selection.
