Introducing the wildly popular Amazon Bestseller, Straight Talk for Success by Bud Bilanich, The Common Sense Guy...

Today I'm reccomending: the wildly popular Amazon Bestseller, Straight Talk for Success by Bud Bilanich, The Common Sense Guy...

Straight Talk for Success gives you so much advice, so much hard-earned wisdom, you’ll be hard pressed to put it down. And even when you do put it down, this is one of those books that you can open up, anywhere, any time, to any page, and get something useful and potentially life changing.

Here's what a few others have said about it:
Bud, your advice and "common sense" is a welcome change from the usual standard of today's thinking. I have been trying to implement as many things as possible that you regularly blog about because it just makes sense.


I can't tell you how glad I am that I have found this site and that I am able to tap into the insight that you hand out day after day.

You have helped inspire me to be great, in every aspect of my life. I know it won't come easy, I know it may not come quickly enough, but the journey is worth it.


Sincerely,
Steve Wagner

Dear Mr. Bilanich:



Thank you so much for the signed copy of your book Straight Talk for Success. I just completed reading it and found the points and ideas incredibly helpful and inspiring. Especially for a recent, naïve college graduate entering the business world like myself.


I am currently working for the Denver Nuggets where my daily duties consist of making over 100 calls to local businesses about the idea of purchasing season tickets. To say the least, it gets repetitive and frustrating – not just being told not, being told no in a crude and unfriendly way 98% of the day.

Your book taught me that staying optimistic and positive will eventually return greater results. And I have absolutely seen great evidence of this compare to my colleagues.


Thanks again, Mr. Bilanich. Your wisdom and common sense have paved the way for my success in the business world.
