Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault

For all those who are frustrated at work, who seem to have no luck in business, who are underappreciated at the office, who are uninspired by their daily tasks, who just aren’t finding the career success they desire, Larry Winget is ready to share his wisdom:

It’s called work for a reason.

It's time for a swift kick in the pants from The Pitbull of Personal Development®, Larry Winget. Studies say that we actually work only half the time we are on the job. So then whose fault is it when we don’t get the results we want? Stop making excuses for your lack of success and stop acting like someone owes you a living. Larry is here to ruffle your feathers and show you how to take responsibility for your results. Whether you punch a clock, own your own business, or manage other people, Larry's advice will work for you.

Find out why:

• Success is simple

• Our co-workers are really only "co-goers"
• Results are everything
• You don't have to love your job (but it helps!)

Remember the work ethic of your parents and grandparents and make yourself worth more than you cost. That's the way to get ahead, and there's no big secret that will get you there quicker.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Larry Winget simultaneously takes on everyone from smart-ass employees and motivational speakers to bad service, bad salespeople and bad bosses. It's not a fair fight. Winget has an unfair advantage - he tells the truth and doesn't give a damn if you like it or not. But like it or hate it, Larry will challenge you to be as amazing as you know you are.”
—Joe Calloway, author of Work Like You're Showing Off!

“Thin skinned? No sense of humor? Don't read this book! I warned you. On the other hand, if you want to read a book that cuts through the normal fluff and challenges you personally, then pay attention: Larry Winget will irritate you to be a better employee and a better person.”

—Mark Sanborn, CSP, CPAE, President, Sanborn & Associates, Inc., author of The Fred Factor

“Winget sets a high threshold for delivering a likeable, useful book that will educate and promote behavioral changes. He delivers…Winget’s advice is solid: delivering results is the most fulfilling career move one can make.”

—Publishers Weekly

mandatory reading!

This should be mandatory reading for any new employees and managers of ANY job! Larry is very entertaining and funny to listen to - and he gives it to you straight! This book made me look at my own behaviors at work and evaluate ways to improve myself. Definitely worth the money!

Mr Blunt

If you don't want the truth at its best, or can't handle anything straight on. Do Not Buy This Book!!!!

Real world life applications

loved it Larry delivers real world applications Andrew truths never get tired of listening to him

Just do the work GOOD STUFF

Chapter 11 How to absolutely destroy the competition - I read this chapter first, and you should to. Whether you are an owner, manager, executive, VP, salesperson, janitor or president of your company you will miss out by not reading this book

I have worked in major corporations and I've been self employed, this book applies to anyone who is business today.

No one delivers like Larry Winget.

I have listened to a lot of great speakers and read great authors, but none have got more results out of me than Larry.

Nobody but you is to blame but yourself for not buying "It's Called Work for a Reason."

Don't just buy it, read it and apply the principles. It really is that simple.

One more thing, get ready for Larry's sense of humor, it is entertaining.

Good Points, Annoying Narrator

I found the information in this book helpful and some good tips, but I almost couldn't make it through the book because of the narration. I felt like I was being yelled at... maybe that was the point.
