BEYOND
BOOKED SOLID - BOOK REVIEW
A Must-Have Cornerstone Book
CARA'S
CORNER
I
have learned a lot from Michael Port over the past four years
and it has been my honor to be drawn into a small collaboration
with him in his latest book Beyond
Booked Solid. I've written a review below.
Writing is one of my major marketing strategies
and I have a new version of that to suggest - write book reviews
and post them. This review is going on Amazon.com and in Ezine-Articles.com
which has a book review section. What a great way to promote your
favorite authors while you continue to enhance your expert status.
Warmly,
BEYOND
BOOKED SOLID - BOOK REVIEW
A Must-Have Cornerstone Book
The times they are a' changing, and we have
to be prepared to rethink, reposition and restructure our business.
Michael Port's Beyond
Booked Solid not only shines light on the path ahead but it
offers us innovative "next steps" to stay ahead of the
game.
Michael knows we have to build our business
from the inside - from our passion, our beliefs, and our values.
As we get busy learning and applying new action steps to build
our business, it is easy for us to lose track of that core foundation
that contains the reason for all we do. Michael asks us to move
beyond our unconscious beliefs and perceived limitations and go
for the biggest, highest, most unbelievable vision we can conjure
up.
And then he shows us how to structure it.
A Cornerstone Business
Book
I've have already read Beyond
Booked Solid twice and I know it's going to stay handy on
my office bookshelf just like Michael's "Book Yourself Solid"
has done, because there are so many important ideas in it. This
is a cornerstone book, a book upon which to build a strong business
foundation even as it helps you turn the corner into a new vision
and version of your business.
As an invited early reader for Michael's manuscript,
I quickly realized he was asking us to move to a new vantage point,
to begin to see our business as a structure for which we are the
sole designer of its architecture.
When Michael asked me to create the BBS Toolkit
to accompany the book I got to read the manuscript again, this
time looking for ways to create questionnaires and exercises that
would help me (and therefore you) really apply this important
work.
The Beyond Booked Solid Toolkit that comes
as a free download with purchase contains 40 thought-provoking,
insight-revealing exercises that have been developed from the
content of this remarkable book. In fact, the realizations you
reach from moving through these exercises and studying the concepts
in this book are so revealing that I have added them to my own
personal Quarterly Business Review, a sort of Solstice, Equinox
ritual, during which I look to see if I'm truly going where I
want to be going.
It's all inside
In Beyond
Booked Solid we are asked to create an open space in our mind,
creatively articulate our vision, and define and design our business
architecture to bring that vision into its perfect form. We are
then guided to innovative action steps that help us maintain our
new structure and keep it aligned with our passion and values.
We are guided to build our business from the inside out so that
it is truly an expression of our uniqueness.
Michael Port is an explorer and a visionary
and Beyond Booked Solid is one of those exceptional books that
absolutely belongs on your business book shelf - one you will
pull out to refer to time and time again.
