This review is from: If Nobody Loves You Create the Demand: A Powerful Jolt of Entrepreneurial Energy and Wisdom (Paperback)

As someone in the business of helping others and teaching how to survive life and business, after reading the book I realize maybe I do not follow directions as well as I should. I consider this an instruction book for other consultants and coaches to help balance their life and business. This book was packed with excellent information and was a "one plane trip read". Those that travel know what I mean.
Highly recommended read for anyone that has the energy, passion and commitment to reach their own level of success. Also a must for storing on your desk for easy reference..

The book takes a relatively hard topic to write about and makes it enjoyable. Joel uses his own experiences to help guide you to where you want to be. Whether you are a successful business person or someone just starting out, the lessons in this book are applicable to all. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.
