Portfolio recommends: the valuable professional is a product

“A good executive education shouldn’t cost a fortune, and should focus on teaching practical skills that translate into business success.”
A new Donald Miller book is more valuable than any business school course.

Most people start their careers without understanding how to grow a business or company. It’s hard to be successful without a basic understanding of how business works.

This book includes sixty daily readings to take a leap in your career or business. Each of them will lead you to develop a skill that will allow you to practically and almost instantly improve the different aspects of your business.

Everything is there to learn management, marketing, sales, leadership and personal productivity. Donald Miller has learned how to get to the top using the principles he lays out in this book. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller How to Build a Storybrand?

In this book the author states that the secret to success is: “If you want to succeed at work, in love, in friendship, and in life, give the people around you a great return on whatever they invest in you. you”.

It is almost a lifestyle, as it points out that every morning when you get up you must give back to people the time, money and energy that they entrust to us for our activities.

The book presents the ten characteristics and the ten basic competencies of a valuable professional.

Written in a very simple way, it is at the same time forceful in its affirmations, for example a button: “No basic competence can overcome bad character”.

The author begins by saying that valuable professionals see themselves as a cheap commodity on the open market and as such are obsessed with getting people a strong return on their investment. In this way, they also attract more investments and manage to enjoy a greater personal economic value, and this is just the beginning of the adventure that is proposed for that 60-day trip in which reading this book can generate a valuable contribution for your professional accomplishment.

EFE. Far from the pomposity of the White House, when the Bushes stayed at their Crawford ranch and at Camp David, the menus of the US presidential couple (2001-2009) opted for homemade food, whose chef has now compiled in a book of prescriptions. It is both a cookbook and a memoir of Matthew Wendel’s time with George W. and Laura Bush.

In total, 14 years that gave him access to meetings with the main world leaders in a more relaxed atmosphere. On the menu, enchiladas, fried chicken, gazpacho or cheeseburger, a classic that all nationalities liked. George W. Bush’s favorite dish was dessert: “He used to go into the kitchen and say ‘What’s for dessert?’ He never asked about dinner.”
