Product Description |
Praise for: Beyond Booked Solid
"If you want a four-hour work week, this book is required reading. Michael has automating business down to a science." - TIMOTHY FERRISS, bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek "If you liked The E-Myth, you'll love Beyond Booked Solid. Port's new book is required reading for all entrepreneurs."
--Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth
"Many business advice books are like certain kinds of Chinese food--you read them and an hour later you're hungry again. By contrast, Beyond Booked Solid is like soul food. You read it, you come back for seconds, and finish it satisfied and happy, looking forward to the day when Michael Port writes his next book."
--Ben Dattner, PhD, Adjunct Professor of Organizational Psychology, New York University
"In Beyond Booked Solid, Port offers you an opportunity to capitalize on one of the most underappreciated assets in business--leverage. And he shows you how to do it with authenticity."
--Keith Ferrazzi, bestselling coauthor of Never Eat Alone
"Michael Port has bridged the gap between professional and personal success. His book generously shares tips and techniques that will help you manage a successful life, much more difficult than it sounds. This is the perfect complement to Book Yourself Solid. If you wish you had more time and happiness in your business life, this book will make it come true."
--Tim Sanders, author of Love Is the Killer App
"Michael Port doesn't just talk about this stuff. He lives it!"
--Seth Godin, author of Meatball Sundae
"If you want bigger revenues and profits, then Beyond Booked Solid is the book to read when you're tired of thinking small. It's a masterpiece because you will never think about your business (or your life) in the same way again. I highly recommend it for those who want to understand how to go from doing it all themselves to running a highly successful enterprise with no limit on what is possible."
--Dr. Tony Alessandra, coauthor of The Platinum Rule
"Beyond Booked Solid takes you beyond perspiration to inspiration. It is an innovative guide to the power of leverage; the kind of leverage that will produce amazing results while providing you with more time for your life outside of work. Buy this book if you want to leave a financial and a personal legacy."
--Steve Lundin, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Fish!
"Whether you are just starting out in your business or you're already booked solid, Beyond Booked Solid offers the tools and the inspiration to significantly grow your business and maintain work-life balance. If you want to learn tried-and-true innovations that will catapult your business to the next level, turn the page."
--Brian Scudamore, founder and CEO, 1-800-Got-Junk?
"The ideas in Beyond Booked Solid show you how to create a sustainable, profitable business and live the life you want. Perhaps even more important, you develop a keen sense of mastery and self-actualization--showing yourself that you can continuously grow and innovate, and creating a true sense of personal success."
--Larina Kase, PsyD, MBA, business psychologist and New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Confident Speaker |

Higher Magnitudes |
|
Implementing strategies and concepts found in Michael's first book as well as my own book, "The Expert's Edge," readers will surely build their businesses to higher magnitudes. But what then? This new book guides the reader thru next steps, so that one's life, not mere career, can reach new heights as well! |

Fresh gasp of air |
This book was definitely worth "beyond" the money I paid for it. Important issue here, is that author concentrates a lot on... hmmm .... how to say - positive mindset issues, if you know what I mean. I would leave this to Pavlov dog researchers and Napoleon Hill book pages.
But that's my humble opinion, probably those mental training exercises will help.
What is MOST important here - author does not considers us as a bunch of creatures who eagerly want information, and so, he is honest enough to not stack every page with a details like "here is CRM program I use, and this one is a great e-mail marketing course, and hey, be sure to see on every page my coupon promotions". No. I felt through the pages that author values reader and honor him. In our days this is rare. (take any Joe Vitale book to know what I am talking about.).
More.
Unlike a some of books what in fact bunch of statistics, references and author comments to them this book is full of ORIGINAL thoughts, and so, it feel like a fresh apple instead of packed soda chemical mixed with water.
More important - by excluding examples and giving the IDEA, author does most important what such a book must do - sparks imagination and let's us think. Basically, it's a book of how to stop trade your time to dollars and create a business system - and yes, get out of rat races.
And written in inteligent, no abusive and kind way.
What a fresh gasp of air in 2008! |

Beyond Booked Solid |
M Port fills in the spaces from his first book "Book Yourself Solid" while adding numerous new comments and suggestions that really add value to the experience.
Although "Beyond Booked Solid" can be a stand-alone read, I suggest that to get the most from the experience you read both books.
Both books are part of my collection of business books that I refer to regularly.

A Book Within a Book |
Even though I don't have a copy of "Book Yourself Solid" I followed my intuition and decided to purchase "Beyond Booked Solid" about 10 days ago and so glad I did. One reason for my thinking was if I found some of your suggestions helpful in "Beyond Booked Solid," it would probably free me more to become booked solid.
What I want to pass on is:
1. I did buy your book and it's loaded with great suggestions and questions to help me (and other readers) take the actions I need to achieve better results and think bigger, without a doubt. I'm really enjoying and finding value from your content.
2. I love the workbook. It's very useful and a way to help me and other readers implement the ideas you present in a useful, reader-friendly format.
3. Here's the kicker Michael that you made this user-friendly workbook available to the reader for free and as an instant download. Michael this free workbook is truly a gift and tremendous added value to those who purchase your book. Thank you! It was such a pleasant surprise and I'm getting so much more from your book as a result of this workbook. This really was an unexpected gift, I had no idea about it when I purchased your book, only as I started to read through it.
Thanks for a great book.

Perfect for taking my business to the next level |
First, let me just say that I've implemented the information in Book Yourself Solid - Michael's first book - into my business over the past six months, and I'm still doing so everyday. The results have been phenomenal. So much so, that we're now much more selective with the types of clients we're working with and the type of work we're doing. That sort of focus and deliberateness just wasn't present in our business before discovering Michael's book and his coaching sessions.
Of course, I was wondering what to do as I started to get more work than I could handle. "Beyond Booked Solid" provides the answers. Continuing with the lessons from his first book, Michael teaches you in a well-written and easily accessible way how to build an architecture for your business and implement systems that truly do free you to think much bigger about your business. I can actually see - based on the work I'm doing from the exercises in the book - that it's OK to take me out of the equation of the day-to-day operations so that I can focus on the other aspects of my life that are important to me - most notably spending time with my wife and kids and doing the sort of things I love to do. In this day and age, there really is no excuse for an entrepreneur to spend 12 hours a day slaving away on jobs that others can do better and more efficiently. Michael teaches you to identify those areas, develop systems to handle those and encourages you to get a life.
In fact, I'm finding that while Booked Yourself Solid was sort of a nuts and bolts to marketing and growing your business in your own unique way, Beyond Booked Solid presents a more holistic approach to business as it relates to your life and quality of living. Now that you've got the thriving business, this book shows you how to create the systems and practices to make your entrepreneurial endeavor ever more viable and valuable while at the same time crafting the life you've always wanted.
I'd highly recommend both books. |
