10 Ways to Make it Great - Book Review

I've read 10 Ways to Make it Great by Phil Gerbyshak THREE times. As the cover pictorially demonstrates, say no to "Have a Nice Day."

His basic premise is don't settle for good, or you'll never get great.

Clearly that's a huge oversimplification, and Phil certainly offers plenty of practical advice in what I'll call a part book/part work book.

I don't read many books of this type, but this one is a winner! It's either a quick and insightful read, or a book you can spent a lot of time with, working on the exercises and thinking. Highly recommended for everyone!

You can visit his blog too.

I haven't read Phil's book yet, but it will be interesting to see how it compares to Jim Collins' "Good to Great", which is a worthwhile exploration of why some companies have been able to make the leap and others have failed. A strong corporate culture that inspires people to behave in certain consistent ways seems to be a big part of the equation. I'll have to see if Phil's book reaches similar conclusions.

Most Internet users have been targeted by criminal phishing emails, yet less than one third have any idea what phishing is, and only 3.5% have changed their habits due to the threat of phishing!

Risks include Identity Theft, Credit Card fraud, and more.
