Start showing off!

Joe Calloway wrote a no nonsense, in your face, honest, no frills book on how to become the best at what you do. Let go of yesterday, make the decision, get in action and just do it the best you can! Work like you're showing off is not a thought, it is a way of living. A short read, each chapter is three or four pages, and the way it was written is easy to read and enjoyable! Joe captured my attention with the crazy Chapter titles and keep my attention with the awesome content.

If you are looking for a book that will cost you lots of money...in that you will go buy cases of this book for all of your friends, co-worker, and family, go buy this book quickly! Awesome

Are You Ready to Get Your Life Working?

Joe Calloway has a knack for observation. He sees pragmatic lessons in ordinary events - like the World Poker Series. He explores what it means to go 'all in' in life. You have to ask yourself what you are waiting for if you aren't going all in. Though my favorite lesson from his book is to 'expect to connect.' If you expect to connect to what you need to get things working in your life, then you surely are halfway there. Maybe showing off is one way to get connected with the right people that share your enthusiasm for doing the kind of work you do.

If It Hits a Nerve You Must Read This Book

Joe Calloway is a consumate story teller. A master communicator that is able to paint and picture and velcro points that stick to your brain. As a business owner my best employees are the ones who get the concept "The more value I provide the better my position will be with the company."

If this book hits a nerve... that's a good sign that you can benefit from its contents.

Read, learn, take responsibility and show off (in healthy ways :-)

DO NOT BUY

Tripe. Do not waste money on this book. There is nothing in it that you can't learn from the Bible's "Don't hide your light under a bushel." That's all there is to it. It's fluff intended to help the author only (in one part, the author recounts the lyrics of a song by a relatively unknown artist, and states that the lyrics stir him, but may mean nothing to the reader. Really). Much of the book doesn't even apply -- much less appeal -- to anyone who isn't in marketing for a living (and I mean the kind of car-lot-triangle-flag-banner marketing). The author admits that he walked around a shopping mall to get chapter ideas for this book, and it's written in the same short-circuited attention span fashion of a teenager on a spree at Claire's. The author drops names of everyday people in the book -- perhaps to get them to buy the book -- such as "Leslie" at Kinko's, who has that certain twinkle (or is it a gleam? no it's a twinkle, etc.) in her eye. Meaning: the author cannot define any techniques that make everyday workers retain their enthusiasm; he can only say, hey, show off, folks! and, Look at Leslie at Kinko's! Over and over again. Gives absolutely no valuable advice. You'll find better stuff in the form of free pamphlets at any Department of Labor. Get Covey's 7 Habits if you want real, substantive techniques.
