Save a Decade!

About the Book

Here are five reasons why you should read and practice what I tell you in this book: 1. Desire—you should want to save a decade (ten years) of your working life by believing what I tell you in this book about getting experience now and avoid the slow learning process of the past. 2. Value—you should want to receive the highest reward, however you measure it, for the remainder of your working life. 3. Audience—anyone (regardless of age, gender, or profession) can add the principles in this book to their current skill set. 4. Basis—I’ve seen a lot of good and bad work practices and worked in several industries in fifty-four countries, so have some faith and trust that I know what I’m talking about in this book. 5. Gender Neutral—I had to write this book from a male perspective, but if you can find a masculine pronoun in this book, other than in the context of an anecdote, I’ll send you a free copy of this book. Morals and ethics are the most important things you must possess. You must make the switch from competition to cooperation/collaboration when you leave school and start working. You must learn how to work and coexist with many different kinds of people. You must learn how to observe, listen, think, and ask questions. You must learn how to solve problems. You must learn why organizations have policies and procedures. You must learn why every company needs a Jesus. You must learn how to travel. You must learn how to talk in front of a group of people.
