About this listen

Are you frustrated with a lack of results at work? Have you hit a wall? Are you uninspired, stuck in a rut, feeling underappreciated? Well, good news: your success is not up to your boss, your manager, your employees, or the economy. It's up to YOU. Business is never bad, people are just bad at being in business. If that makes you mad, this book is for you. Larry Winget hacks through the bad advice given in most business books, explaining why:

  • Teamwork doesn't work
  • We reward the wrong behaviors and focus on the wrong things
  • Expectations are low, standards are even lower
  • We are all stealing from our companies and ourselves
  • Our co-workers are really only "co-goers"

    Winget shows you how to take responsibility for your own success and get excited about your possibilities once again. 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
  • Results are everything
  • You don't have to love your job (but it helps!)
  • You gotta serve somebody
  • Nothing happens until something is sold

    You will be surprised, you will laugh, and you will discover motivation you never knew you had. Let Larry Winget shock you out of your comfort zone and into a whole new league.

    Critic reviews

    "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)
