Switzer Life: Weekend entertainment for inspiration

BOOK: SEE YOU AT THE TOP

If you read Peter Switzer’s Weekend Switzer article last week, you would have extracted some key lessons from the guy who wrote this book – Zig Ziglar.

Yes, it’s filled with some catchy lines written by a great salesman, but what he’s selling is the notion of people working on themselves to become inspiring leaders that can inspire more great people.

This novel cultivates inspired leaders with healthy self-image that isn’t driven by greed or personal gain, but to enrich the lives of those around you – which is much more motivating!

AUDIOBOOK: PURPLE COW

Another classic book recommended by Peter for modern inspiration is Purple Cow, written by one of the most followed marketing gurus in the Internet-age - Seth Godin.

The novel has the same premise and intention as Zig’s, and Peter Switzer’s, which is to view business, marketing and growth by reflecting internally and improving yourself first. Switzer recommends doing a SWOT analysis on yourself to identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Godin’s audiobook is currently included in a FREE 30-day trial with Amazon’s Audible.
