It's Called Work for a Reason: Your Success is Your Own Damn Fault

Your success on the job is not up to your boss, your manager, your employees, or the economy. It's up to YOU.

It's Called Work for a Reason: Your Success is Your Own Damn Fault

This book gives the unvarnished truth about what it takes to be successful:

NOT business jargon (Forget branding! Forget thinking outside the box - you're not in a box!)
NOT parables (Who cares who moved your cheese - what cheese?)
NOT praise sandwiches (talk about cheese!)
Just the one key ingredient to success in business: Work!

Are you frustrated with a lack of results at work? Have you hit a wall? Are you uninspired, stuck in a rut, feeling underappreciated? Well, good news: your success is not up to your boss, your manager, your employees, or the economy. It's up to YOU.
Business is never bad, people are just bad at being in business. If that makes you mad, this book is for you. Larry Winget hacks through the bad advice given in most business books, explaining why:

Teamwork doesn't work
We are all stealing from our companies and ourselves
Success is simple
Results are everything
You don't have to love your job (but it helps)

You will be surprised, you will laugh, and you will discover motivation you never knew you had. Let this book shock you out of your comfort zone and into a whole new league! 240 pages. Hardcover. 2007.
