Great nuggets of wisdom!

This book had some wonderful analogies about how to work your business. I had my highest sales month ever followed by my teams biggest recruiting month. It got a little dry, but I will be listening to it again!

Wish this had been done 15 years ago.

I am in the same company, for 18 years,as Brian and have watched him grow. I am on the team of the person who was the #1 money earner until his death a few years ago. I wasn’t much of a recruiter but am applying the skills taught here to recruit now. Even though I am 70 years young it is never too late to learn.

Very disappointed

Based on all the reviews the decision to buy this book was easy.
First 30% of book is all hype.
Look at me, I'm doing well, you can too etc etc
No real content and if you took out the fluff would be 20 mins long
Will be returning this book ASAP

Awesome & Awakening

I read this book as part of a reading group in about 2 weeks. I found so much valuable information, the knowledge and wisdom shared. The experiences and pitfalls, I know that I am going to succeed in my network marketing business because I'm willing to learn and apply the steps and processes taught inside to my business and ask for/seek out help when confused or challenge from my up line and beyond until I get the mentoring and coaching I need. thank you.

Not as advertised

It wasn’t truly clear that the book was entirely about “network marketing“. I would not of wasted a credit on this specific topic, overall slightly misleading.

Goes way beyond expectations

I have read and listened to a large number of books within the network marketing space. This book trumps them all. From start to finish Brian never disappoints. As someone who has been in the trenches for years he now imparts his wisdom and unlike others who give up their businesses to gteach Brian "teaches it as it is" in real time and without holding back. This book ranks up there with "The compound effect" " The slight edge" and "Go Pro". Hundreds of people join network marketing every day and I say to them this is the building block of what could be a successful business for weveryone who listens to it. If you are like me you need to listen to the audio and rteturn to the book or the Kindle editions so that the valuable information Brian reveals is available to you 24/7. Well done Brian. This book spoke to me and Im sure it will speak to others as well.

Couldn’t even finish

This book did the opposite of encouraging my belief in myself and network marketing. I wasn’t even able to finish it, and exchanged it for another book recommended by my up line. I found it so boring and hard to listen to. I had even messaged my upline to say I was going to quit network marketing after listening to some of this audio. I don’t recommend this book if you’re a bit more of an introvert, like me.
