Book Review: Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire by Dan Martell
My wife and I have been running our businesses for the past 19 years as business owners (TELLUS International and TELLUS Travels) and as employees for other organizations before our entrepreneurship. There is a stark difference between running your business, profitability, and cash flow and being an employee where all those hard topics such as…
Book Review: Character Limit – How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter
I have always been fascinated by the software industry and its players. I love reviewing books from the technology industry. One of the reviews was of Kara Swisher’s book Burn Book-A Tech Love Story, which portrayed her journey and some very visible tech characters throughout her career journey. Besides business modeling/strategy books and anything related…
Book Review: Super Thinking – 300 Mental Models You Should Know About
We all get drawn into situations in our lives where we feel that “we have seen this thing before” but can’t put a finger on it where we have seen it before. We make decisions daily that might have a long-lasting impact, so we want to ensure we have the right decision frameworks from which…
Are you pursuing a meaningful life, and are you avoiding distractions?
It is good for all of us to stop and think about what we want from our lives, including careers. Self-reflection is a good thing, as we are busy with the increasingly “noisy”information flow we get from different channels. This time, I wanted to continue my book review journey, allowing you to reflect on your…
Are you a victim of multitasking, and do you understand what it truly means?
How often have you heard someone say I am fantastic at “multitasking”? Have you always thought that was a good thing? I have never thought about the entire topic, but I have now read Devora Zach’s book “Singletasing: Get More Done-One Thing at a Time.” and it did open my eyes and gave some valuable…
Book Review: The Partner Operating Model – A Guide to Predictable Ecosystem Revenue
I live and breathe channels and have been doing that for 30+ years. I would only write this article here in Trophy Club, Texas (Dallas Fort Worth area) if I had been in channel business my entire career. In the first part of my career, I was the channel partner, then evolved to leading a…
The healing power of writing – reflections on being an author
Not all the books I read and want to review are about AI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, or business models. I also like books that help me evolve as a person and steer me in the direction I should take with my life and career. I mentioned way back that immigration to the United States came…
Are you a Giver or a Taker in life?
We all run into situations in our lives where we meet people with different motivations and behaviors. For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate…
Easy Introduction Book to the World of AI
I like the books from DK Publisher. They are very different from many potentially “dry” books on AI, which include only lots of text but no illustrations. The AI field is moving so fast that, at least, what concerns me is that there are so many things one must remember that some of the previous…
Do you have the grit to succeed in your objectives and goals?
I aim to bring attention to interesting books that I recommend and find interesting. Even if many of you know I am a technologist at heart, many of my book recommendations have to do with life, career, and how to have a life that you won’t regret. I get to select the areas I want…
