...millionaire mindset club essential book summaries HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE by Dale Carnegie INTRODUCTION When Dale Carnegie first sat down to write How to Win Friends and Influence People he really didn’t realize exactly what a best seller it would be, nor did he realize that over 70 years later it would still be in print - and be acclaimed as ‘the best all time’ self-help book in the world. The book was first published in 1937 and was developed from the real life experiences of hundreds of people, rather than from just one person’s opinions. The idea for the book was brought about by the results of an investigation conducted by the Carnegie Foundation that was carried out to determine how people became financially successful. The investigation found that success took only fifteen percent of actual technical knowledge, and that the actual key to success rested on the other eighty five percent. This eighty five percent was identified as possessing skills in human engineering: the ability to get on with others well, your individual outlook and people skills. These results came as a shock to many at the time as these skills were not widely taught in courses or classes. A new concept had been discovered and a large hole emerged that needed to be filled by a new peopled-skilled class. This is how the Dale Carnegie Course In Effective Speaking and Human Relations was born – and the book a mere set of ideas on memo cards which were discussed and lectured on. These...

...use technology to communicate. Understanding what motivates people, how to foster teamwork and collaboration are fundamental needs of any organization. Do you know what "drives" employee engagement? Studies have shown that if an employee is dissatisfied with their immediate supervisor, there is an 80 percent chance that they are disengaged. This statistic reinforces the significance of building positive relationships in the workplace. Similarly, having a “caring” manager is one of the key elements to a positive and successful employee engagement strategy. Employees want to feel valued and have their manager take an interest in their personal lives, health and well-being.

...NASCAR: Lessons Learned About Safety By Kai McLemore Columbia Southern University MOS 5101 Abstract The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) seems to always be a few steps behind when it comes to initiating safety practices. They wait until there is a reason in implementing a change. This paper covers the changes that has been mandated over the past decade and why these changes have occurred. Changes ere not just to the car but includes the whole NASCAR package. Changes were made to the car, the track, the driver’s gear, and pit road. Unfortunately, these changes were too late for some of NASCAR’s most legendary drivers, to include Dale Earnhardt. However, NASCAR officials have attempted to rectify their wrongs by ensuring the safety of the driver over the past 10 years. One can hope that they do not stop there and continue to look towards the future and they can continue to improve with the increase of changes to machine and man. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has been an exhilarating sport since the mid 1940s, and has thousands of spectators at each race cheering for their favorite driver. But then again, what other sport can be as exciting as watching an extremely super fast car that weighs approximately 3,400 pounds (Online NASCAR, 2010) bulleting around a track at speeds ranging close to 200 mph and merely inches from each other. Unfortunately, there are downsides to this sport which keeps every fan, spouse...

... Franklin not only helped shaped the country but he also helped shape American literature with such writings such as The Way to Wealth, The Gospel Preacher a Book of Twenty Sermons, a number of different essays, and of course his Autobiography. His Autobiography was more of a self help book than writings about his life. He wanted to stress to his son and other people that what they were is not who they would always be, if they take the proper steps and kept an open mind they could achieve great things. In his Autobiography Franklin stresses the point of self-improvement through education, good health habits, good work ethics, not being argumentative, and practiced frugality among other things. Franklin’s writings influenced writers like Dale Carnegie, Stephen Covey, and Anthony Robbins. Some writers like Thoreau thought his writings focused only on achieving wealth and never really appreciating the simpler things in life. Though Franklin does stress on the more frivolous things in life at times, he really only wanted for people to learn how to become all around better people. Franklin believed that education was everything. In order for out country to grow everyone, especially the youth, needed to expand their minds. He stressed education so much to his fellow Americans that he started a learning academy that is now known as The University of...

...Case Synopsis 1: Robin Hood Robin Hood and his merry men are now in trouble because wealthy travelers (their source of revenue) are avoiding the forest. As is often common in an entrepreneurial organization, the Merry Men were highly motivated by Robin Hood’s leadership. Therefore, Robin had previously relied on informal communication to organize and implement operations. Robin is pleased with the growing size and influence of his organization. However, growth has meant that specialized duties have begun taking up most of the men’s time, leaving a command vacuum between Robin and the first line recruits. In addition, they are now all located in a large encampment that can be seen for miles. This creates the probability of a surprise attack on their position. Growth has also put great pressures on resources, so now they must harvest the forest more thoroughly. Rich travelers are avoiding the forest, so in desperation Robin is considering robbing the poorer travelers, which means his lieutenants must now tell their men to rob their brothers and fathers. What started as a rebellion has been routinized into banditry. Robin must therefore begin to question the Merry Men’s mission. Should it still be an extension of his private grudges and aspirations? Has the organization acquired a new mission, if so what is it? On whose behalf should the organization formulate its mission! Summary of Discussion Questions 1. What is strategy? 2. What strategic problems does Robin...

...ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS The Strengths and the Weaknesses of the situation are internal factors since they are within the band’s direct influence. STRENGTH Robin Hood’s supreme leadership and his group’s increasing size were to be considered as the major strength. Robin also has a strong team of lieutenants and each task was properly delegated to them. These three lieutenants are Will Scarlet who is in charge intelligence and scouting, Little John in charge of discipline and archery training, Scarlock who oversees the finances, and Much responsible for provisions. The brand recognition the Merry men posses has also been a strength. The group’s popularity among farmers and townspeople helped them to access resources of the surrounding towns and communities. WEAKNESS One of the problems faced by Robin Hood was the increasing size of the band he has made. At first, he believed that strength lay in numbers and that the more Merry men he had, the greater force it would be for him to fight the Sheriff. However, the increasing size of the organization resulted to a huge dilemma. As more men were recruited, Robin Hood’s organization experienced disarray as he was only supported by three people for the functions and was certainly under employed. Robin also lacked familiarity with his men which gave him a hard time on enforcing rules and regulations, and the decline of vigilance among his band. Due to the increasing size of the organization, other issues arise-- the food...

...POCAHONTAS John Rolfe letter to sir Thomas Dale on his decision to marry Pocahontas who is the daughter of the governor( Powhantan). The letter was written on 18 June 1614. I found the letter in the internet on a website written by Jamestown. Rolfe was a pious man who agonized for many weeks over the decision to marry a heathen. He composed a long, laborious letter to governor Dale asking for permission to marry Pocahontas. The letter reflected Rolfe dilemma. The tone suggested it was intended mainly for official records, but at some point Rolfe bared his true feelings. He wrote “It is Pocahontas to whom my heart and best thoughts are and have been a long time so entangled , and enthralled in so intricate a labyrinth I unwind myself there out, let therefore this my well advised protestation condemn me herein if my chiefest intent and purpose be not to strive with all my powers of body and mind but with the desire of affection” .John is also kind to the indian because he wrote, “Shall I be of so untoward disposition as to refuse to lead the blind into the right way?, or give bread to the hungry?, or uncharitable as not to cover the naked?”. In 1613 the Indian princess Pocahontas was kidnapped by the Jamestown settlers. The colonist wished to trade Pocahontas for Englishmen and weapons captured by the Indians but the trade never occurred. Thereafter Pocahontas learned English and she converted to Christianity. John Rolfe met the Pocahontas after her conversion and fell in love...

...Case Study "NASCAR" P. 429 NASCAR has grown to a predominant sports name in the past 60 years all built from a man passion named William Henry France. Since the first race in 1948 car racing has skyrocketed with fans traveling hundreds of miles to watch a race and sponsors jumping on board to share the success. The NASCAR industry has felt the sting of the 2008 recession with low attendance and criticism about their environmental awareness. Nevertheless, NASCAR has survived the financial worries with a creative mix of brand awareness, solid sponsorships from reputable name vendors, and vivid action-packed television coverage. NASCAR has created an intense network of friends that belong to a social group who all associate themselves as a need for speed and excitement. 1. Evaluate NASCAR’s branding strategy in relation to its overall marketing strategy. In the 1950’s NASCAR collaborated with Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler along with many other big name companies to boost their reputation and fan base. The alliances NASCAR collaborated and co-partnered with increased brand awareness thus increasing their audience by the millions. They have gained differentiation by promoting sponsors on driver’s jumpsuits and race cars stamped with various companies.

...place of business. You can tell who is bored, distracted or unhappy. And you can tell who is focused, invested and engaged. Most employers prefer the latter type of employees, of course, because they tend to work harder, be more productive, provide better customer service, and are often just more fun to work with. But determining how to engage employees is a major challenge. The business literature provides few sure-fire, easy-toimplement ways of increasing employee engagement. With this challenge in mind, the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) commissioned the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) to conduct a survey and develop a study on employee engagement. “Learning’s Role in Employee Engagement” was sponsored by Dale Carnegie Training. The goal was to gain an overview of engagement in today’s workplace and to find out how organizations can boost engagement levels, with a particular focus on learning’s role in the process. The final report is based on survey responses from 776 HR and learning executives and an extensive review of the workplace literature. The results were intriguing. The research team found that engagement truly is an issue of major significance to most organizations, which is probably related to the fact that the average organization has some serious engagement problems. Only about a third of the average respondent’s workforce is highly engaged, and nearly a quarter (23%) is disengaged or minimally engaged. It’s no wonder organizations...

...The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing Clover Park Technical Commnity College The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing NASCAR (national association for stock car auto racing) was founded by Bill France in Daytona Florida in 1949, in hopes to organize a stock car racing club bound by some simple traditions. Dating back to the prohibition days when moonshine runners would deliver alcohol, many would soup up their cars and give chase to the police and tax collectors. Today, NASCAR is a spectator sport and holds six of the top 20 Television ratings for most viewed sporting event next to American football. What started from a group of renegades and informal races became a multi-million dollar family owned sports division full of triumph and tragedy. The Beginning When moonshine runners would deliver their bootleg liquor, many would modify their cars to avoid the law, or to slip by the tax collectors. Soon the regular runners would heckle about who was better and faster, so to settle the score many runners gathered at Daytona Beach for informal races. In their plight to decipher the good drivers from the bad they would end-up setting world speed records for the day and time. Organizers would come in promising fortune and a future in racing, then would skip town leaving the drivers high and dry again. (Wikipedia) So in 1947, a service station owner and stock car driver Bill France saw the potential...

...unsuccessful if they, or someone they love, are not healthy. For instance, can father feel successful if his child is ill? This is why doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and hospitals are so important. Not only do they allow people to live longer, but they also allow people to feel successful in their life. Finally, success can mean overcoming hardships. No one likes hard and rough times with tears and pain. Someone who has come through the pain often feels like he or she has accomplished something. An individual that has overcome an obstacle achieves a measure of success. As David Brinkley has stated, a man can be proud if he has laid “a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” The most valuable lessons can come from failures. Like Dale Carnegie said, “Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” And who could understand the meaning of success if they did not experience disappointment? Light would not exist without darkness and...
