Story
Years ago, after suffering a humiliatingly large dumb tax, it dawned on me that I have a seemingly unlimited ability to hit unforced errors and sabotage my business and financial success. I suspect you do, too. It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. I don't need to do more smart things. I just need to make fewer dumb mistakes. The vast majority of our dumb tax is a direct result of emotional, overly optimistic, and poorly thought out decisions.

Most of us still live by the motto, “No pain, no gain.” But this approach to life is actually a prescription for fear, frustration, and self-doubt. Much of what we learn about success is based on the pain/gain idea: in essence, work harder, be more persistent, and develop greater willpower. The New Psycho-Cybernetics formula is anything but painful. It will allow you to achieve all your goals, faster, easier, and with less strain than you ever thought possible.

Publisher's Summary
What does it really take to get productivity from people and, by doing so, maximum profits for your business?
With a nod to Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, and other ruthless yet highly successful managers, Dan S. Kennedy delivers the answer. In this new edition, Kennedy expands on his proven (if radical) strategies to get accountability, profitability, and productivity from employees.
In his traditional "No B.S." style, Kennedy kicks traditional leadership and management ideas squarely in the teeth with a realistic, straightforward assessment of the real relationship between business owners and their employees. Uncompromising strategies help managers gain iron-fisted control and get the results they demand. This take-no-prisoners advice liberates entrepreneurs to act in their best interests and insist on implementation of their objectives. And it leads to a cooperative, high-performance team when traditional textbook methods fail.
Topics include learning how to hire profitable employees, taking home as much money as possible, making every employee's job a profit center, managing the powerful force of word of mouth, compressing the time between idea and action for maximum profits, and posing questions to individuals that force them to think and improve productivity.

Worth it for the gold you'll find
There's no getting around this is a long listen, you need to commit to finishing it. You probably won't agree with everything Dan discusses or his opinions. But you will definitely take away enough nuggets of gold to dedicate the time required to listen. I found his No BS approach refreshing and cuts through most of the prevailing 'wisdom' in management theory (and practice!) in the corporate world I personally see most days.

More of a sales funnel
I like Dan Kennedy, the guy is brilliant. However if you are looking for actual management solutions this is not the book to obtain them from directly, He has many authors who speak and set you up to visit their sites to get more info on their services to help put in systems or other things you need to scale and operate your business. They offer free books that after reading turn out to be almost exactly word for word what they spoke about in the audio book. Well played Mr. Kennedy you figured how to get us to all to pay full price for a free funnel book that otherwise we'd just have to pay 2.99 shipping.

Every business owner should read this
Wow, the book delivered on the no BS, no holds barred, kick butt, take no prisoners part. I was hoping for a bit more optimism about staff. But it is what it is. I appreciated the truth. I have read and listened to a lot of books and most are hyped up rubbish or look at large businesses that have little relevance to smaller businesses. This guy on the other hand shows some humanity and humour. Not only that, I have verified much of what he talks about in my 17 years of starting and running two businesses. If you don't agree with this book or it doesn't help you in your decision making towards profit making, then you're from another planet.
