Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

Publisher's summary
In this sequel to The Icon Effect—one of Darren Sugiyama's best-selling books—Vincent finds himself in new unchartered waters after inheriting The Icon's financial advisory firm in New York and is faced with some extreme challenges that make him question everything. As he struggles to find his way after falling from grace, he meets a new mentor named Takeo Takashi—a Japanese billionaire—who teaches him how to apply the ways of the samurai to his new business challenges. Takeo's teachings are similar to The Icon's in some ways, but very different in others, as Vincent discovers a new perspective on success, loyalty, happiness, and his own identity. This is a story about the importance of family, true friendship, and redemption.

Best-selling author Iyanla Vanzant recounts the last decade of her life and the spiritual lessons learned—from the price of success during her meteoric rise as a TV celebrity on Oprah, the Iyanla TV show (produced by Barbara Walters), to the dissolution of her marriage and her daughter’s 15 months of illness and death on Christmas day. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Iyanla shares why everything we need to learn is reflected in our relationships and explains the strength and wisdom she has gained by supporting others.

His grandfather’s lynching in the deep South, the murders of his two older brothers, and his verbally harsh and absent father all worked together to form Jason Wilson’s childhood. But it was his decision to acknowledge his emotions and yield to God’s call on his life that made Wilson the man and leader he is today. As the founder of one of the country’s most esteemed youth organizations, Wilson explains the dangers men face in our culture’s definition of “masculinity” and gives listeners hope that healing is possible.

In his new audiobook, The Heart-Led Leader, Spaulding turns his focus to ourselves - to who we are. Authentic leaders, Spaulding says, live and lead from the heart. The values and principles that guide our lives and shape our ability to lead others is far more important than our titles or our ability to crunch numbers or the impressive degrees we display on our walls. To effect true transformational change, heart-led leaders draw on the qualities of humility, vulnerability, transparency, empathy, and love.

exactly what I needed
the universe is very mysterious in her ways. I been going through rough times mentally and spiritually. I dealt with struggles with people at work that caused me to feel horrible. when I listened to this audio book , I remembered that experiences are what build us better than what we were yesterday. I keep trying to fight through the struggles which this book shows by darren story about his own trails and tribulations. he reminded me of the bushido code, which, if you truly live it will guide you through all trails in your path and in the end make you a better person. I fully support darren book!
