The Cheat Code

Going off Script to Get More, Go Faster, and Shortcut Your Way to Success

De: Brian Wong

Narrado por: Brian Wong

Have you ever noticed that there are certain people who seem to get ahead just a bit faster than everyone else? You know, the types who always seem to be a bit ahead of the curve, to get noticed a bit more, and to achieve their goals a bit more quickly than the rest of the pack? And have you ever noticed how much this small edge can matter and the outsized impact it can have on the trajectory of their careers?

Twenty-four-year-old entrepreneur Brian Wong is one of these people, having graduated from college by age 18, having raised $24 million in venture capital to start his own company before he turned 25, and having grown that company into a global mobile advertising giant in just four years. His secret? The Cheat Code.

Wong believes that most people - even creative people - have a tendency to follow a script, to do things the way others do them simply because that way works. But therein lies the secret at the heart of the Cheat Code: Anyone can easily shortcut his or her way to success simply by going slightly off script, by doing things just a little differently from everyone else. Here, Wong unlocks the power of the Cheat Code through 71 bite-size and virtually effortless shortcuts to get a leg up on the competition, garner attention for ourselves and our ideas, and accelerate our success. For example:

• Cheat #7: Don't Ask - Announce
• Cheat #16: Know Your Superpower!
• Cheat #32: Make Boldness Your Genius
• Cheat #47: Know Who's the Boss
• Cheat #49: Get a Trademark Haircut
• Cheat #51: Use Exclamation Points
• Cheat #55: Focus on What Won't Change
• Cheat #71: Imagine, What If?

No matter where you aspire to go in your life or career, The Cheat Code will help get you there - faster.

Well written. Inspiring!

This book was fantastic. No fluff, straight to the point. I will definitely listen to it again. A lot of REALLY great content!!

A surprisingly interesting and educational read

I was expecting not to learn anything from this 24 year old entrepreneur but I remain pleasantly surprised.. his book of Cheats has something for everyone even for an old businessman who's read it all...like me

great book, lots of story, narrator is great

great book, lots of story, narrator is great . he us bold, straight to the point

Jammed Packed with Practical

He’s young. He’s smart. He’s “done it”. And he didn’t just stumble into success, he figured it out. But most importantly, he knows how to actually explain his “cheats”, clearly and concisely. Lots of great nuggets to digest.

A disclaimer, I listen to all of these books at 1.25 speed. I judge listening quality at that speed. So “your mileage may vary”. If the readers voice holds my attention at that speed and isn’t annoying, then the read gets my thumbs up.

Light read, heavy impact.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to a friend so they can also be exposed to the authors points.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the authors delivery of the material.

Have you listened to any of Brian Wong’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Stay true.

This guy is annoying.

Wow, talk about a self serving project. This book provides no intelligent or worthwhile information. Seems like it's strictly a way for some former geek to tell you how great he is. His constant use of vulgarity is pointless and serves only to try and make himself sound tough. I can't believe I wasted my time, and money on this.

wasted a credit on this one

Would you try another book from Brian Wong and/or Brian Wong?

Never.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Thinking of cancelling my entire subscription.

What didn’t you like about Brian Wong’s performance?

Self centered and fouled mouthed. Could not honestly be considered a performance can it?

Any additional comments?

Heard this guy on Jane on Money podcast and I thought I would give his book a look. This guy is living in a different world than me and the other mortals so perhaps in that world he will be king. For me, it's trash.

A poor book about Balls

Don't read unless you want to hear a puff price about the authors balls. There are no tips here. Arrogance and ego is all you will find.
