Revealing the Secrets of the Game: Exposing the Most Closely Guarded System of Self-Empowerment Ever Designed

EMPOWER YOURSELF THROUGH THE HIDDEN SYSTEM THAT KEEPS OTHERS POWERLESS! The only book of its kind to have ever been written. What is the “Game” and how do you learn to play? Take a journey through the hidden knowledge and wisdom that many consider priceless. The Game is an anomaly; it is often spoken about but never defined. It has been that way for centuries, and for a good reason. I talk a lot about the Game and I realize that the majority of people have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s time to change that. This is what I call the, “Little Black Book.” This book breaks down in detail what the Game is, how it works and how you can use it to improve every area of your life. To be honest, this book may not be for you and I was very hesitant on releasing it. The reason is because when the Game is used unethically it can cause people to do things that are not in their best interest. But when I look at the general state of the Game and the World, I knew releasing this book was necessary. The Game itself is a system of knowledge, changing your perspective on situations and altering your standards. The foundation of the Game is empowerment through brutal honesty and self-reflection. These principles, if you honestly apply them, will change your life. Trivial matters which worried you before will no longer be of consequence. This is a Playbook – Packed with simple real-life principles that will enable you to excel in the real world. If it is your “time” for this information, you will know it. • Conquer fear, doubt and worry • Learn seven key principles that will make you a force to be reckoned with • Understand the hidden Structure of the Game and why it’s never taught to you • Discover why you hardly ever succeed at achieving your goals and how to change that • Understand how you’ve been programmed for failure (and why) • Understand one of the biggest “secrets” of the mind and how to use it to your advantage • Discover how to boost your self-confidence and develop unshakable integrity • Learn to increase personal value, influence people around you and rise to the top of your social circle • Acquire the ability to make less destructive decisions • Achieve the powerful ability to see through manipulations and lies • And this only scratches the surface… This information will change your life, just like it changed mine. Just one honest and open-minded reading from cover to cover, will have you looking at yourself and life like never before!

Invent, Reinvent, Thrive: The Keys to Success for Any Start-Up, Entrepreneur, or Family Business

In today’s uncertain world of business, one rule stands above the rest: If you want to survive–let alone thrive–you must embrace change. Everything else comes after.

In Invent Reinvent Thrive Kellogg School of Management Professor Lloyd Shefsky provides the inspiration and insight any entrepreneur or family business needs for long-term success–and he backs it all up with proven models of what works and what doesn’t.

Shefsky reveals the common thread of all business success stories: reinvention. He explains not just how to reinvent concepts and ideas from the start, but ways to continuously innovate and reinvent your business to meet today’s constantly changing marketplace conditions. In addition to his own expert insight, Shefsky provides firsthand advice through case studies derived from dozens of original interviews with entrepreneurs and family business giants, consisting of the leaders of some of today’s most successful companies, including: Howard Schultz (founder, Chairman, and CEO of Starbucks) Jim Sinegal (founder of Costco) Chuck Schwab (founder of Charles Schwab & Co.) Tom Stemberg (founder of Staples)

The author also gives special attention to family businesses (which account for over half the U.S. GDP) and how to address vexing family disparities, enabling family businesses to last more than two generations.

Invent Reinvent Thrive offers all the answers you need to get your business where you want it to be. You’ll learn exactly where new and multi-generational business owners fall short and miss incredible opportunities, why they fail to take the plunge or innovate–and how you can rework, revitalize, and reinvent your business not just to avoid the most common perils but to lead your business to the apex of your industry.

“Entrepreneurship is not a cataclysmic event,” Shefsky writes. “It is a constant process.” Follow his advice through every step of the process and you will successfully invent, reinvent–and thrive.

Robinett has based her methods on solid research proving that social groups begin to break up when they become larger than 150 people, and that 50 members is the optimal size for group communication.
