Erika Andersen: Being Strategic: Plan for Success; Out-think Your Competitors; Stay Ahead of Change
I use her phrase "reasonable aspirations" in nearly all of my blogtalk radio interviews. And I regularly turn to the insights and systematic approach to planning for your success she shares in this book. No. I haven't read it all. But, I will; I'm still savoring it. (*****)
Steve Farber: Greater Than Yourself: The Ultimate Lesson of True Leadership
This is a great book. Actually, it's another in a series from Steve Farber. Each of them I read from beginning to end. That may not sound like much, but it's a significant compliment from me as I rarely read a business book through to the end. This one I kept wanting to read more, read it faster. I'll revisit it again soon. You will, too. (*****)
Matthew E. May: In Pursuit of Elegance: Why the Best Ideas Have Something Missing
Matthew writes a compelling explanation of...why the best ideas have something missing. He weaves in quantum mechanics, general theory of relativity, case studies from current brands, brain physiology, and more. A fascinating delight to read. (*****)
Kerry Patterson: Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High
I came with low expectations. I was severely disappointed. It's a great book. This is a well-written, timely, book with tips and reminders and steps to take with each page you read. Real-world examples, real-world steps, to create real, meaningful conversations when the stakes are high. (*****)
Gregg Fraley: Jack's Notebook: A business novel about creative problem solving
I read this book completel, too. That should say enough. Even more, I plan to read it again this month. It's a great story whose purpose is to share useful, practical, tips and steps you can take to more effectively and more creatively solve challenges. (*****)
Evan Rosen: The Culture of Collaboration
This book is a doorway to one of the leading authors, experts, in the Culture of Collaboration we hear so much about. He understands the tools, their use and their impact in organizations big and small. (*****)

Heya Zane! Gorgeous and I have a term for that. We call it "Coopetition". A rising tide raises all ships in the harbor. :)

Chris, and David, are so on. I've found for years when you focus on relationships business becomes easier. Both in converting prospects and in working with peers. No competition here - there's enough work for everyone.

Thanks for the comment. You're pretty on yourself: "there's enough work for everyone."

Yet my experience is that there is. Everyday, "the market" is becoming more and more segmented. And now that people can actually find what they're looking for on the internet, we see ever more refined niches developing. I've seen this open almost limitless opportunities for small business owners to find customers.
