Patterned after Excellence
by
Knowing what really matters at work and in life and acting on what you know are two very different things. Unless you practice what you know, applying what matters most in a consistent pattern, you’ll always find yourself coming up short. Though your own human tendencies undermine your ability to live at your best, universal truths can help you stay focused on what is most

I received this book as part of a giveaway, and while i appreciate the free book, i simply could not get into the writing style. The author seems to be just throwing words together without meaning in a majority of the book. It's unfortunate because in the handful of places he tells an actual story, the story seems interesting. It's just that the story blurs into platitudes and keyspeak and never really goes anywhere. I'd love to see a rewrite with an editor that keeps the author a little more on

DISCLAIMER: I was given a free copy of this book in anticipation of me reviewing it.
Sorry, but for me this book was a big "meh." While it had some good points, they seemed very disjointed. This review may seem harsh, but it is with the intent of giving the author some honest feedback.
There were several admonitions to do something, but with no guidance or suggestions on how to do it realistically - such as: "...learn to do right independently of how you feel. Just learn to cognitively push aside ...more

(Won this book on Goodreads). Good motivating book to get you thinking about how to work to get where you want to be. I feel it provided a great way to look at ourselves in a mirror to breakdown how to become better. To clear our minds from negatives and start looking at what we bring to the table. We are just as good as the next person in the office and we should live up to all our abilities without shame and negativity to bring us down.
Expected more. I wanted to learn more instead of the whole think outside the box.
This an inspiring book about staying positive, truthful, persistent, diligent, and ethical, which will lead to many of life’s rewards. There were useful and pertinent anecdotes from the author’s experiences. I was fortunate to receive a copy from a Goodreads giveaway.
Advice in life and business
Thanks to Goodreads for the review copy. All comments and opinions are my own.
In work and life, there are certain ways to live that are in service to others and instructive, promoting growth in self and business. Based on experience, both good and bad, the author relates his principles of work ethic. I found many thoughts and ideas that made me review my own journey.
