Just finished reading “How successful people think” by John Maxwell. Great read and will be added to my list of “Food for Thought”.
The title says it all and Maxwell does a nice job presenting the concepts. Great business people continue to read and educate themselves so pick this one up and read it. Think big and think differently and you will uncover great ideas….don’t get stuck on the status quo.
Have a great day.

Jon-
What was the single most important thing you picked up from the book? An example would be helpful.

Sure, good question. I think the biggest take away was that simply put, successful people “think” and try and look at the world differently so they can come up with new and better ways of doing things. Thinking is hard and most people just don’t do it.
Would this be a specific example?
We often hear, “This is the way things are done in this industry?” Other words, there are rules of engagement, so follow them. So in your model, one should know the rules, but never forget to ask why? What if we did things differently? Not following the rules and norms exactly has its risks, but it could produce uncommon results?
brick thx for the recommendation just started reading this
