Customer Reviews

I don't usually argue with reviews but...

I don't usually start a review by arguing with other reviewers, but I feel so compelled here! Marsha has written a tremendous and practical guide to gaining power and control in your life. The CEO of YOU is full of practical techniques for taking charge of your own destiny; just as a CEO has to take charge of the destiny of a company. The scathing review by Wanderer left me puzzled, and compelled to offer a dissenting opinion. After checking on some of Wanderer's other reviews, I can see why he would feel the way he does. He or she (My apologies, its hard to tell when someone uses Avatars and Nicknames) loved "Modelling Binary Data, Reading External Data Files Using SAS and the Heroscape Expansion Set: Agents and Gladiators action figures. I'm sure these are fine books and products, but most of us have to deal with real life challenges in real time including creating some measure of personal success and happiness. Most of us who work in or operate small businesses are up to our eyeballs in the daily grind of trying to stay positive in the face of taking care of ourselves, our employees and our communities. Most of us don't have time to play with Agents and Gladiators action figures! Obviously, Marsha's biggest mistake was giving Wanderer a free copy of her book, a book in which she shares advice and experience obviously paid for with blood, sweat and tears. I'm sure if Wanderer reviews my book, his (or her) review will be just as negative; like Martha I do teach simple, sometimes even obvious life lessons which do bear repeating from time to time. Of course, no book or seminar has the power to change your life; that work is left to you! Books and seminars can educate, validate, and motivate; if you want to change your life you've got to get you butt off the couch and do the work. I've spent most of my adult life studying personal power. My models are people like Marsha, who have done the work and created success in their lives. Their advice usually contains simple, common sense advice and time-tested techniques. Why don't more people follow this advice? Because while success is simple; it is not easy. Marsha clearly outlines steps you can take today to truly become the "CEO" of your own life. She pulls no punches and tells you that you're responsible for doing the work; if that message is repetitive, in this age of entitlement and lack of self-reliance it is is also necessary! If you want a shining beacon of hope and practical advice for taking charge of your life in the face of real-life adversity, this book is for you! For what it's worth... Wanderer, if you want to write a review of my book it's called Dynamic Components of Personal Power. To save you some time, I do present some painfully obvious themes such as taking personal responsibility for your own success. You may also find that I'll promise you can do anything you want with your life; but it is ultimately up to you to get there. For those of you willing to do the work,

I Now See the CEO in ME

The little book pacts a real powerful punch ... I loved it! Ms. Sue does a dynamite job of grabbing you over and over and over throughout the pages of this practical and motivating treatise on leadership and taking responsibility for one's success. As an avid reader on the subject I liked this book for it's straight-forward views on moving forward in life with purpose and power. I loved the numerous quotes and the to-the-point approach to the subject. The gems I learned in Chapter Three are worth the price of this book many times over ... things like the steps to move from anger to calm; taking responsibility for how I react to changes and the growth resulting therein; and of course, reminders of the power of proper goal setting in one's successful journey in life. Thanks Marsha for this real practical and powerful addtion to my library!

"Great 1/2 book"

This is a wonderful book, chock full of good advise on anything, and everything one needs to succeed in life. My one, and only gripe is that the left page throughout the book is nothing but a quote. It seems like kind of a waste of time and money. I love little quotes in books, but rather in a small highlighted box, or as a footnote. Sorry for griping, since this is a great little book.

Full of Practical Suggestions!

The theme of _The CEO of You_ is take responsibility for your own life. While not a new thought, this book expresses it well, and gives some practical suggestions for carrying that out.With motivational quotations on almost all of the left hand pages, this will give you an enjoyable read, and the inspiration to get going on fulfilling your dreams!
