  The co-founder of the Stanford d.School introduces the power of design thinking to help you achieve goals you never thought possible. 
  Achievement can be learned. It’s a muscle, and once you learn how to flex it, you’ll be able to meet life’s challenges and fulfill your goals, Bernard Roth, Academic Director at the Stanford d.school contends. 
  In The Achievement Habit, Roth applies the remarkable insights that stem from design thinking—previously used to solve large scale projects—to help us realize the power for positive change we all have within us. Roth leads us through a series of discussions, stories, recommendations, and exercises designed to help us create a different experience in our lives. He shares invaluable insights we can use to gain confidence to do what we’ve always wanted and overcome obstacles that hamper us from reaching our potential, including:  Don’t try—DO;  Excuses are self-defeating;  Believe you are a doer and achiever and you’ll become one;  Build resiliency by reinforcing what you do rather than what you accomplish;  Learn to ignore distractions that prevent you from achieving your goals;  Become open to learning from your own experience and from those around you;  And more. 
  The brain is complex and is always working with our egos to sabotage our best intentions. But we can be mindful; we can create habits that make our lives better. Thoughtful and powerful The Achievement Habit shows you how.

  Make It Rain

  Due to the changing winds of fate, my sister Marty needed to take a job selling vacation timeshares in Las Vegas. Many, if not most, take the tour just for the offered goodies; it was an awfully harsh environment to learn in. We talked about relationship-based selling, how to do trial closes, and how to ask closing questions, all of which are written down here in Make. It. Rain. I recommended she get a few books on the subject. About a week later, we talked again, she said she had bought and read some books about selling but that she would rather eat dirt than have to read any more bullet points.Since I started my love affair with selling at the early age of 15, I had a fondness for the subject that was easy for me to talk about, to tell stories about. She planted the seed for this book a great many years ago now. In my time working for Dale Carnegie Training, I came to deeply understand that telling and listening to stories is where real learning takes place. So, I set about writing a story-form sales training book that was built on the values learned working in a family business in a very small town. I have always enjoyed the art of selling, the people I have met, and the lives I have enriched by making damn sure the people got what they need, not what I needed them to have!
