There is something special about reading a great fiction book! While about 90% of my reading is geared towards non-fiction, I like to mix things up from time to time by diving into a compelling novel. So, I thought it would be fun to share my top 5 fiction books of all time, along with some bonus recommendations at the end of the list.

The 10,000-hour rule was made famous by author Malcolm Gladwell in his best-selling book Outliers (2008). In it, Gladwell suggests that the key to becoming world-class at something is to spend 10,000 hours engaging in the activity. Unfortunately, it isnβt true.
The 10,000 hour rule gives the impression that any time spent engaging in a goal activity would lead to further improvement. However, Anders Ericsson, the Swedish psychologist responsible for the research on which the 10,000-hour rule was based suggests that to improve your skill at any goal activity, the method of practice is what matters, not the time spent.
This episode covers those 3 methods of practice, proven effective in the growth and development of any new skill you are striving to achieve.

Success in life comes down to a combination of luck and hard work. However, luck is often seen as a blind and uncontrollable factor in our lives. We either have, or we donβt. As a result, it can be tempting to wait for luck to strike or to assume it never will.
The Serendipity Mindset by Christian Bush is about the art and science of creating good luck. Itβs a practical guide to setting up the right conditions for serendipity to occur and being ready to capitalize on it when it does. While you cannot control the results or the specific outcomes, you can increase the odds of luck occurring in your life.
So, letβs explore some of my favorite insights from The Serendipity Mindset.

In this episode, I thought it would be fun to quickly share 10 books that Iβm most excited to read in 2022. Not every book is directly related to business, however, each book has the potential to provide valuable insights or lessons that can be applied to business or personal growth.
This list includes books on product development, science, improvisation, human history, health, and more. I hope these books will inspire you to either pick up a copy yourself or choose another book that excites you to get started reading in 2022.

We often set artificial limitations on our abilities in life. For example, we may believe that weβll never be good at creative writing, public speaking, or other valuable skills. In some cases, we reach these conclusions based on a few early attempts that either didnβt go well or ended with a negative experience.
Mindset by Carol S. Dweck is about unlocking our full potential by maintaining a growth mindset. Rather than assuming our abilities are static or fixed, this mindset recognizes that we can develop new skills over time. So, by switching from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, we can unlock new options for ourselves and others.
With that in mind, letβs explore my three favorite insights from the book.

Choosing the right metrics is critical in gathering accurate data on whether or not you are moving in the right direction.

So, letβs look at a powerful framework that will help you determine the metrics that will ultimately matter in the success of your business.

We all have an inner voice that we can use to evaluate our actions, learn from past mistakes, and better prepare for the future. Unfortunately, all too often, this voice turns into a stream of negative thoughts and emotions. And, rather than help us improve, it can hold us back by causing rumination, anxiety, and even self-sabotage.
Chatter by Ethan Kross is about how to tame and properly harness your inner voice. It covers practical tips for enjoying the many benefits of self-reflection and introspection while greatly reducing unproductive and negative self-talk. So, if you have a harsh inner critic that is stifling your growth or holding you back in life, this book can help.
Letβs explore three of my favorite insights from the book.

Most nonfiction books either fail to attract an audience or achieve only short-term success. The few that manage to generate a high volume of sales often do so through expensive marketing campaigns, temporary media buzz, or author popularity. As a result, itβs rare for new authors to break through and create a lasting impact.
Write Useful Books by Rob Fitzpatrick provides an alternative path. It explains how to plan, write, test, and refine engaging nonfiction books using proven strategies from the world of entrepreneurship. The approach can help a new author create a truly useful book that automatically attracts new readers through word-of-mouth referrals.
Letβs explore three of my favorite insights from the book.

Personal growth involves more than just consuming books, articles, or podcasts. Our brains are not very good at storing and retaining information. As a result, we often forget valuable insights and life lessons long before having a chance to make full use of them.
How To Take Smart Notes by SΓΆnke Ahrens is about how to better understand, retain, and benefit from great insights. The book exposes the flaws in common note-taking practices and presents a simple yet powerful way to capture insights and convert them into a growing web of knowledge. I highly recommend it if youβre a content creator, a researcher, or simply passionate about learning.

It can be challenging to identify the best opportunities to pursue in business. Some can unlock incredible growth, while others may lead to mediocre results or worse. So, letβs explore how βThe Hedgehog Conceptβ can help you choose better opportunities.
The Hedgehog Concept was first introduced in Good To Great by Jim Collins. While the book covers six key insights, The Hedgehog Concept is one of the most popular because itβs linked with achieving breakthrough results. Itβs based on developing a deep understanding of three circles for identifying your own simple, crystalline concept. So, letβs take a look at all three.

How can a good leader become a great leader? What traits do the most impactful leaders have that others are missing? To answer these questions, letβs explore Level 5 Leadership.
The concept of Level 5 Leadership was defined in Good To Great by Jim Collins. It was created based on identifying leadership traits during a five-year study of publicly-traded companies. Level 5 Leadership was impactful because all identified good-to-great companies began their transformation under a level 5 leaderβs guidance.

Two common questions among new entrepreneurs are:
1. "What are the top priorities in a startup business?"
2. "How should you be spending your time as an entrepreneur in the early days?"
In this episode of the Community Q&A series, I address a great question posted by ALEKSA in the YouTube comment section. The question was "how to best invest their time, resources, and money in business.β So, let's discuss how by identifying core assumptions and testing them as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. You can maximize your time, efforts, and results, in business.

Good is often the enemy of great in business. The vast majority of companies never become great because they end up satisfied with good results. So, Good To Great aims to address the question, βHow can a good company become a great company?β
This book summary of Good To Great by Jim Collins explores the entire good-to-great framework, including all three stages: disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action. Each stage includes two key concepts and the entire model is surrounded by 'the flywheel'. You can learn more by checking out the full written summary linked below.

Startups tend to unfold in a predictable pattern. The more aware you are of this pattern, the better youβll be able to capitalize on it. And, instead of feeling lost when you suffer inevitable setbacks, youβll be able to put these problems in context.
This book summary of The Start-Up J Curve explores the six predictable phases of the startup journey, including Create, Release, Morph, Model, Scale, and Harvest. Knowing these phases and how to traverse them in the right way is critical for startup success.

Let's explore three key insights from MARKETING MADE SIMPLE by Donald Miller. This book is important because a business can fail even if it offers a truly great product. Itβs not enough just to build something that people want. You must also have an effective way to attract and convert customers.
Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs assume their product is an exception. They mistakenly believe that their idea is so good that it will just sell itself. So theyβre caught off guard when their product later fails to attract meaningful attention. And, in some cases, this can result in the collapse of the business.
Marketing Made Simple explains how to create an effective sales funnel. It addresses the three stages for building customer relationships. And it provides actionable advice on how to produce the five marketing components needed to convert customers.

Let's explore ten of the best management books. The concept of management is often misunderstood. Some people think that being a manager just means not having to do the real work. And others believe that becoming a manager is just an opportunity for a pay raise.
The truth is that great managers are highly skilled at what they do. They play a critical role in their organization. And that's because they multiply the performance of everyone else around them. So, if youβre an aspiring manager, a new manager, or even an experienced manager - these books can help you upgrade your skills and become more effective at managing people.

Let's explore three key insights from INFLUENCE: The Psychology of Persuasion by Dr. Robert Cialdini. This is an interesting book because its original intent was to help people avoid being persuaded by the various techniques covered in it. And yet, despite that goal, itβs become a popular manual for salespeople, marketers, and leaders that want to be more influential or persuasive.
Iβm always hesitant to recommend a book like this, because some readers may be tempted to abuse the techniques in order to manipulate other people. So in this episode, Iβm going to provide examples of both the right way and the wrong way to apply three of the six principles. That way you can get a taste of what to expect from the book, and a sense of how to use these ideas in an ethical way.

Let's explore ten of the best social media marketing books. Each of these books provides a unique and valuable perspective. And, rather than focusing on any one social network, most of the books here address the high level skills that apply to ANY platform.
Topics include: how to create viral content, how to attract loyal followers, how to influence people, how to build trust and authority, and perhaps most important how to build initial momentum when first getting started. So if you're interested in learning more about social media marketing, I recommend that you review the books in this list.

Let's explore three key insights from CROSSING THE CHASM by Geoffrey A. Moore. This book is about how to market and sell disruptive products to mainstream customers.

With the recent announcement of Apple's iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro phones, let's talk about the iPhone's dominant position in the US smartphone market. How has it managed to stay at the top for so long?
Want to leave a COMMENT or watch the VIDEO edition?
βΊ https://youtu.be/pF68o9SPhA0
Tech enthusiasts come up with all kinds of explanations for why the iPhone remains at the top. And their reasons tend to change over time. Historically, they have included things like: better cameras, faster processors, iMessage lock-in, App Store exclusives, ecosystem lock-in, and most popular of all - Apple's impressive marketing.
But while some of those things may play a role, they do not explain Apple's consistent dominance in the US market. So in this episode, we're going to look at this from a business perspective... Why is the iPhone so dominant? Why is Samsung the only brand to put up a decent fight? And perhaps most interesting of all, why isn't the iPhone as dominant in international markets?
To answer these questions, we're going to explore three powerful insights from The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing by Al Ries and Jack Trout.

Discover why great businesses often fail in the face of disruptive technology. The Innovator's Dilemma is NOT about bureaucracy, arrogance, poor planning, short-term investments, or any of the common things we may associate with business failure. Instead, it's about why the strengths of well-managed, customer-driven businesses often cause them to fail - when it comes to adopting disruptive technologies.
This message is important for both emerging businesses looking to disrupt existing industries AND for established leaders seeking to avoid disruption. So, if you're an entrepreneur, founder, CEO, or anyone else interested in business strategy - I recommend that you pick up a copy of this popular and influential book.

Let's talk about Uber and their remarkable success. They took on the well entrenched taxi industry and, while much of the narrative today focuses on their aggressive tactics, reckless culture, and pursuit of growth at all costs, those things alone don't explain their incredible results.
So in this episode, we're going to focus on how they created value, how they won customers over, and the practical business lessons that we can extract from their success.Β We're going to cover three valuable insights so that, by the end of this episode, you'll have some new tools to add to your business strategy toolbox.

Let's talk about Apple and their focus on PRIVACY.Β Over the last few years they've stood up to the FBI regarding encryption, they've made it harder for ad companies to track user behavior, and they've taken a leadership role in the industry when it comes to personal privacy.
And, while all of this has been great for consumers, what we want to focus on here is the business impact.Β Specifically, WHY this move is brilliant for Apple's long-term strategy and how we can develop a similar game plan for our own businesses.

Whether youβre starting a new business or just looking to track the overall health and growth of an established brand, itβs important to understand the business metrics that are most important for growth. In this video, weβll cover the top 5 best marketing metrics for tracking business growth.
These metrics are often referred to as pirate metrics, because of the AARRR acronym. They were established by Dave McClure and stand for: acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and revenue.
They can be used as a basic marketing funnel, but are best used to measure the overall health and growth of your business over time. Be sure to identify and measure these marketing metrics within your own business.
