I want more
money. I want a better relationship with my spouse.
I want good responsible kids. I want a promotion. I
want to be healthy. I want to be smarter. I want to
retire. I want, I want, I want…
But do you know
what people really want? They want what they’ve got. It’s a
simple formula: You have what you want because your actions
produced your results. Not your words and certainly not your
wants.
In his signature caustic, yet loveable style,
Larry dishes out straight talk on what he calls “life’s
messes” and offers up his advice topped with a dollop of
common sense. We all know that people do stupid things to
sabotage their success, and we can all think of areas in our
own lives where we are just plain being idiots! So here is
what Larry is proposing: Recognize where you are being an
idiot and then take action to stop being an idiot. He takes
on business, family, health, being fat, being stupid,
success, money, and more, and tells us step by step what we
need to change. He tells us to take responsibility for our
words and our wants and put them into action.
Why
Larry? We have seen him do it as an expert on TV, coaching
people on taking control of their money. We turn to him for
business advice and kick-in-the- pants motivation. But why
ask Larry for advice on things like relationships and
parenting? Larry says the answers to most problems, whether
personal or professional, go hand in hand. What it takes to
be a great leader is what it takes to be a great parent. The
principles it takes to be a good salesperson are the same
principles it takes to get along with others. The principles
of personal success are the same principles of business
success and financial success.
This book is a
little mirror you can hold up to your life to reflect back
to you your areas of stupidity. A mirror that has a little
action plan taped to the back of it. A little bit of
business. A little bit of personal development. A little
finance. A little parenting. A little health and wellness.
And a whopping dose of common sense!
