The ‘Fred Factor’ by Mark Sanborn.   With this book I realized, I enjoy the more personal self-improvement books and not really the ones pertaining to business.   This book definitely plays to both, but more so on the business side of things. In listening to various entrepreneurial podcasts, two of the bigger points echoed across the board, build relationships and  add value.   This book tells you point by point on how to do that.   These may seem like common sense, but I prefer it to be spelled out and these are my absolute biggest takeaways from reading the ‘Fred Factor’.  This was another book that was in Evan Carmicheal’s Youtube video 7 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read. Here are some golden nuggets from the book: ‘Fred is more likely living proof that there is another less observable competitor:  the job we could have done.   The truth is that we compete against our own potential every day.   And most of us fall short of what we are capable of doing or being.’ pg
