What is the crowd's opinion of Never Eat Alone, Expanded and Updated: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time?

From 3.5 billion comments

Je vote bullshit, c'est souvent basé sur des impressions, des "coachs en [Amour;Sexe;Relations]" qui ne se basent sur rien, sinon d'autres livres de coachs et de pseudo-sciences. Les livres de management sont un peu pareil, basés sur rien de concret sinon l'expérience de l'auteur ou l'autrice.

ça veut pas dire que tout est à jeter dedans, ou que ce sera inutile pour toi, mais juste que ça se base pas sur des études statistiques, et est donc très sujet aux biais des auteurs.

Par exemple Never Eat Alone, ça pue du cul à max. Parce que la carrière de l'auteur marche bien, et qu'il a l'habitude de manger avec des gens à midi, alors il établit un lien de causalité direct. Si tu manges avec des gens à midi, t'auras une carrière à succès. Et pas, par exemple parce que t'es fils de banquier ou de professeur d'université, ou que tes parents t'on grassement payé des études à Harvard.

Every great job I've ever gotten was a result of knowing someone. So my advice to anyone looking to increase their income is to increase their social network.

Good book with suggestions for doing this ...

Money doesn't buy happiness; it buys freedom. If freedom doesn't make you happy, then you have deeper issues than anyone here can help with.

Talk to a therapist. Make friends. Do a lot of different things so you can (hopefully) find something you love and find fulfilling.

I can't agree enough with people who say that you should volunteer. It's been the key to much of what's brought me happiness (and I'm not even FIRE-d yet).

I also recommend a book called Never Eat Alone. It's a guide to succeeding in business (which you don't need). But more than that, it's a guide to building and maintaining personal relationships by helping people. It's imperfect, but full of a lot of ideas that have helped me find happiness.

Good luck.

If 10% of your leads are qualified, that doesn't sound too bad. But, you could also generate or purchase your own leads. Probably the most effective way to generate leads is through networking. Never Eat Alone is a good general book on networking though there are likely better resources for more advice specific to insurance sales.

If you think your prices are too high, find other ways to differentiate--such as the quality of service and attention you provide to your clients.

>Q: What are common mistakes? >>A: There are a lot. Too many to cover in this small post.

LMAO.

Grade-A Bullshit.

One letter in Never eat alone is better than this entire post.

Hi 42life, you need to read this book by Keith Ferrazzi http://www.amazon.com/Never-Eat-Alone-Expanded-Updated/dp/0385346654 - lays out the many ways to reach to other people and nurture your network. Lots of easy to implement tips for 'networking newbies'.

First get this book.

You know what functions you want your job to have, reading, research, and writing. First translate these into concrete functions that use your degree to demonstrate you have them. This will form the backbone of your resume.

If you want to do an MA without the debt, investigate scholarships. There may be one available that will let you do that.

If you have no connections, don't worry. We all got to start somewhere. And social media presence, in my opinion, is a bit over-hyped. It is a tool some people use well, but not necessary for all fields.

Instead, sit down and write a list of everyone you know. Family, friends, professors, etc. Put them on a piece of paper, and then consider who they may know. For example, many professors have industry contacts and may be willing to vouch for your to be considered for a position that hasn't been listed yet. If anything, just write them an e-mail saying hi, inquire on there well-fare, say a bit about yourself - just to reaffirm the connection.

Another way to create connections is volunteer work. Look for a few causes that you care about, and offer your services to an organization that advocates for that cause.

I went back to college at 26. If that's what you want to do.

Seems like the problem is you don't have a goal. Go read this: https://www.amazon.com/Never-Eat-Alone-Expanded-Updated/dp/0385346654

Oooops! I just realised that Keith has more than one book. And Sam has more than two!

The Books:

• Never Eat Alone

• Get It Done

• Start Right Where You Are

In my industry, this book is highly recommended. I am not cut out for my industry.
