Review
"[A] stimulating and enlightening exercise in comparing the skills and characteristics required to succeed in a game of chance with those needed for success in the games of life and business…Reading No Limit could confer a double-barreled benefit. There is a high probability that it will improve one’s luck in business, and the odds are even greater that it will make one a better poker player.” Cecil Johnson, nationally syndicated reviewer

This review is from: No Limit: The Texas Hold'Em Guide to Winning in Business (Hardcover)
Once you pick up No Limit and start turning the pages, it will not be easy to put down. This book is extremely easy to read and more importantly, apply. Krause and Carter's clever use of acronyms and overall structure make the content very easy to pick up and maintain. After reading this book, I've been able to increase my level of performance at work through applying the No Limit strategies.
Poker, business, and life require a strategic decision making approach that positions you for the best possible chance for success. This book will help you enhance, transport and modify your Friday night poker methodology into your professional & personal relationships creating a competitive advantage over your competitors.

This review is from: No Limit: The Texas Hold'Em Guide to Winning in Business (Hardcover)
Everyone wants to be a winner but not all possess and nurture the skills necessary to win. This book is not about a one time, quick fix for success or the bluff that gets you the promotion or project you've had your eye on. It is about applying the skills addressed by Donald Krause and Jeff Carter to your everyday life in order to know yourself, know and understand the players in the game you play and increase your odds. It is about striving to be the winner, cultivating the attributes of greatness from within, and learning from failure-yours and those of others- to not just win the big pot but all those little ones that make us get up everyday and pursue our aspirations.
