Why you should read Seize Tomorrow, Start Today

If you just couldn’t get enough of the "remake-your-business-from-its-own-ashes" wisdom in 1999’s Soaring with the Phoenix and the earlier Flight of the Buffalo, you’re in luck - the old bird is back. Authors James A. Belasco and Jerre Stead have updated their compilation of prepare-for-the-future and create-your-dream-career lessons. Jam-packed with common sense, insight, vision, and hundreds of examples and anecdotes, the book focuses on familiar themes. While it may not tell you much that you don’t already know (or should know), its strength lies in its ability to elbow you in the ribs and remind you. Written in a witty, breezy, sophisticated manner (although distractingly redundant), this pep talk rambles on but is still worth reading for its timely message. getAbstract.com recommends this book to businesspeople at all levels who are looking to understand and cope with change.
