Customer Reviews

I've already read it 3 times

I don't read many books of this type, but this one is a winner! It's either a quick and insightful read, or a book you can spent a lot of time with, working on the exercises and thinking. Highly recommended for everyone!

A Message for Everyone!

Phil's book is not only an easy read, but it contains simple, yet actionable steps that everyone can take to be more successful in their lives. Phil's philosophy on life and work is amazing and if you just use even a few tips from this book, you will see a world of difference in your life!

Focused, Faithful, and Fun

Phil Gerbyshak's "10 Ways to Make It Great" is an excellent addition to anybody's business library. He's taken the best of human nature and condensed it into an easy-to-use handbook of knowledge, anecdotes, and thought-provoking exercises which can be digested over an airplane ride or over months of self-assessment, whichever the reader chooses. Gerbyshak's humble approach to life partnered with his energized quest to make things constantly better pours over into his writing. The reader cannot help but come away with a great sense of self and a renewed purpose for what to do next. This book is the cross-section of Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Warren's Purpose-Driven Life, condensed to fit into today's schedules, yet powerful enough to pack the punch of a message that people still need to hear. Well Done!!!

A GREAT call to action

You know Phil Gerbyshak is a GREAT guy as soon as you open this book. His enthusiasm and positive attitude shine throughout this work. Phil doesn't offer easy answers, but it does ask some great questions for taking charge of your own life wherever you see the opportunity to get beyond your own status quo. Through short examples and new frameworks, readers are given an action plan which, if followed, can't help but lead to new outcomes. If you're looking for results for a work team, a sports team, or just yourself, 10 Ways to Make It Great gives you new ideas and resources to do just that. Those who follow Phil's action plans can't help but shift their lives from "good enough" to GREAT!

You can make it happen!

I have the privilege of working with Phil, and I can tell you firsthand that he is exactly as he portrays himself in this book. My suggestion would be to read the entire book first and then go back to work on the action steps. Keep in mind that this is not a book; it is a workbook. Reading Phil's insights serve as a springboard for your own ideas. I am normally a skeptic about books of this type. However, Phil writes in a manner that captures the essence of concepts that are so simple, we often overlook them. I have not changed my mind in general about these books, but this one stands out from the rest. Take the challenge and read the book. I then encourage you to e-mail Phil and tell him what you think. Ask him for a suggestion. Ask him for a resource. He is very approachable and genuinely interesting in helping all of us reach greatness. Life throws us all curve balls. Phil gives you a unique and insightful perspective on how to deal with this. One of the most valuable things I learned was to stop making excuses for why I cannot do things. I have the power to be proactive and make things happen, or, as Phil would say, Make it Great!
