The little red book that changed my life. That's exactly what the Go Giver book did for me when I was a young and naive entrepreneur trying to figure things out. Ultimately, it is one I read countless times and was required reading to work for any of my businesses. Today's guest on the Academy is none other than the author of the book, Bob Burg.  Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing, and influence, with total book sales of well over a million copies. The American Management Association named Bob one of the 30 Most Influential Leaders and he was named one of the Top 200 Most Influential Authors in the World by Richtopia.  During this conversation, you're going to learn about the powerful business principle that will transform the way you connect, expand and live a purposeful life and business. You're also going to discover the true meaning of influence, persuasion and what separates you from your competition by doing business the right way. THE 1% RULE IS OUT! My latest book, The 1% Rule:

Reality is negotiable. That’s what I got after reading the book from my latest guest — Alex Banayan. Alex is an entrepreneur, speaker and author of The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched Their Careers. Here’s the premise of the book: There's the First Door: the main entrance, where 99 percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always . . . the Third Door. It's the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen--there's always a way. During this conversation, we explore his amazing quest to write the book, how anyone can live the philosophy, how to take bold action and some amazing lessons from the people he interviewed, including Bill Gates, Lady Gaga and more. We talk about being rejected, about the upside of being

On the latest Academy Quick Hit Episode, I deep dive into what I call the "Death Spiral Of Scarcity" we all experience from time to time. I'll argue this happens at least once a day — and how you and I can break this pattern with a simple shift of awareness and going within. The difference between those who create and produce, plus are fulfilled consistently is not about some massive superhuman talent or skill... It's the ability to recognize emotions and shift at a moment's notice from scarcity into abundance. THE 1% RULE IS NOW OUT!
