Product Description
New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Larry Winget reveals the only thing you need to know to succeed in business: Your success is your own damn fault!
Are you frustrated by your lack of results at work? Have you hit a wall? Are you uninspired, stuck in a rut, feeling under-appreciated? Well, good news: Your success is not up to your boss, your manager, your employees, or the economy. It's up to YOU. Studies say that we actually work only half the time we are on the job. So think about it-- when you say "Bye, honey, I'm going to work!"-- what is it you're really heading off to do? And how is it contributing to your overall success? Business is never bad, people are just bad at being in business. If that makes you mad, this book is for you.
It's time for a swift kick in the pants from The Pitbull of Personal Development®, Larry Winget. Stop making excuses for your lack of success and stop acting like someone owes you a living! 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.
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
* Teamwork doesn't work
* Our co-workers are really only "co-goers"
* Results are everything
* You don't have to love your job (but it helps!)

Larry is like a recording of me!!!, 2008-09-03
I have three of Larry's books. This guy is telling folks the very same things I have said all my life. I later went out and bought 40 copies of the three books I have read so when my friends start their whining I just hand them a copy and tell them to go read it. Maybe they have short term memory issues when I tell them so here is a copy of the same stuff I have preached about for years. GREAT STUFF!!!! Just a lot of the truth that people should take to heart. Grow up and start taking responsibility and STOP EITHER BLAMING THE WORLD OR LOOKING FOR A HAND OUT!!!!!!!!

 Good solid advice, 2008-08-18
The book is clear and direct, which is consistent with the advice given about how to be successful in business. Larry's style is entertaining, and all of his recommendations are grounded in his personal business experience. I found the book useful.

Contains some important nuggets of advice, 2008-08-17
This is my favorite of Larry's because it gives me a need attitude adjustment whenever I read it.
He is very big on taking responsibility for your situation and remembering that you are employed to make your company profitable, not to be fulfilled or happy or challenged, even though it is good if those happen also, we cannot expect them.
Yes, he is a little harsh on some topics, and I would take some of it with a grain of salt, but he is like a coach that pushes you to do better.
The truth might hurt sometimes, but you are better off seeing the situation in full daylight instead of complaining and playing the victim.
I have also read his Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life: A Kick-Butt Approach to a Better Life which shares some of the attitude, but veers off onto his opinions which I just don't care to listen to.

Know your priorities, 2008-08-07
Larry is very specific in his book about knowing your priorities. People are becoming more and more spectators instead of doing. People prefer looking busy instead of getting things done. It is a true reorientation of focus when he said: "It's not how many hours you put into the work, but how much work you put into the hours".
