This book review comes from Barry Davis, a man I met years ago at the Mid Atlantic Career Counseling Association conference and who has become a friend and inspiration to me to read more books.He is the reason I have a book section on my blog. Thank you Barry!
“Make A Name for Yourself” – Ginsberg, Scott
The third book from Scott (The Nametag Guy) and self-described as 55 Strategies to Fast-Track Your Professional Prowess, reads like a collection of blogs on a wide range of topics helping you to “make a name for yourself, because no one else will.” Replete with quotes from every imaginable source (and some unimaginable), his practical, in your face advice includes the following gems:
- Fans, not customers.
- Nobody notices normal.
- Opportunity knocks daily.
- Prepare for serendipity.
- Usefulness is worship.
- Don’t be friendly, be approachable.
- Don’t be different, be unique.
- Don’t be some guy, be That Guy.
As a result, you won’t just be memorable; you will be unforgettable. You will make a name for yourself.
“Don’t try to be different. In fact, don’t try to be anything. Just be. Be yourself. Be the same person no matter where you go. As a result, you WILL be unique. And people will notice. Because there’s nothing more approachable than authenticity.” – Scott Ginsberg
