Will You Add? - Never Wrestle with a PIG
For many years I felt that if you scratched any American you were scratching an entrepreneur. This is the country where entrepreneurial activity is most possible and seemingly every citizen has an idea with commercial potential. Sadly, over time, I realized I was wrong. If you scratch most Americans you are most likely scratching a dreamer.The difference between a dreamer and a doer is profound. Successful entrepreneurs might have initially dreamt of success, but they will not stop ther
Though Mark’s principles are powerful, he's a humble teacher for someone at his level. His delivery is so understated you will discover the value of his ideas naturally rather than having to work around an overzealous sales pitch. Listening to Mark’s unassuming voice, with no airs, is like having an understanding business partner in the seat next to you as you drive down the road.

Often, what makes difficult customers difficult is the fact that they are intensely emotional. They are upset, angry, irate, or ballistic. It is impossible to address the real issues the customer has experienced until we first address the emotion of anger.When it comes to dealing with angry customers, there are four things you must be crystal clear on. These four critical ideas make up what I call the Psychology of Anger. 1. Anger precludes rationality Angry cus
Mark McCormack is the founder of the International Management Group (IMG) and was the guy who became Arnold Palmer’s agent in 1959. At the time, although enormously successful and popular, Palmer had only one endorsement deal - with Heinz for $500 a year (and as much ketchup as he wanted).
Mark and Arnie’s simple handshake agreement changed the world of sports forever. Stick with me, this is NOT about sports.
It wasn’t long before McCormack had signed two other rising stars Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus. McCormack didn’t limit himself to golf. In 1968, he signed his first tennis player, Australia’s Rod Laver as well as representing athletes from football, rugby, cricket, motor racing and a host of other sports.
McCormack’s company, International Management Group or IMG, became the biggest name in corporate sport and moved beyond sports, managing former Presidents and Prime Ministers, Pope John Paul II and even represented the Nobel Peace Prize.
There is more to the sports business than knowing how to swing a golf club or how tight to string a tennis racket. Mark McCormack began sharing his common sense approach to business in 1984, when he wrote "What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School" a book that spent twenty-one weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list.
He followed it with "What They STILL Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School" and recorded both of them on audio cassette.
These are not sports books but essential, down to earth, common sense, get-a-grip business advice books. Reading them is great, but listening to them on audio cassette, read by Mark himself is an even bigger treat. McCormack is one of the most plain-speaking and credible business teachers we have, and he comes across especially well in this relaxed studio recording.

Discounted conference calling rates are easy to find by just searching on the Internet. Many resources are available for companies looking to conference calling rates. Once a discounted conference calling service has been found, it is important to check all of the rate information to make sure that the conference calls being held qualify for the discount. The rate that is stated in most cases on a web site home page is usually already a discounted calling rate.In most cases though,

Job growth--or lack of it--and the levels of unemployment continue to confuse obtuse government analysts and the Wall Street crowd.Why? They are ignoring the dramatic effect of rapidly-increasing self-employment.Recently, the weekly number of unemployed declined, but the number of newly-created jobs was very small. How could that happen when there were not enough new jobs created that week?Simple. More and more people are becoming self-employed, no longer

Performance review time – potentially one of the least desired events of the work year. Your experiences could range from receiving seemingly arbitrary comments, vacuous praise, a sense that your manager hates this more than you do, to comments on a job well done and even the (occasional) useful comment.Can you make this a better experience for yourself and your manager? Can you prepare? Yes to the latter, you can certainly prepare, and even better develop your review throughout the yea

Mark died in May of 2003 but his words and ideas will help generations to come. You can find his stuff in almost any library and many libraries have the audio books, too. A quick look at Half.com will find most of his audios in like new condition for a fraction of the cost.
Many times you will be given a choice of Mark’s audio books, abridged or unabridged. For years I didn’t much care one way or another until I listened to Stephen King on CD telling me why I should only choose unabridged. Sure it takes longer, but you get the drift of the author’s thoughts entirely, not just some of them chosen by an unseen editor. Chose unabridged and go the extra mile is possible.
Here is a partial list of audio books and CD’s by Mark McCormack that I highly recommend
