Make sure to read every chapter before trying these techniques

There are a lot of books, websites, blogs, and suggestions out there for authors - I know - I've read many of them. This one came highly recommended by respected fellow authors so I eagerly snatched it up. I did not read to the end before trying the suggestions. Changed my description. I've done that before without a problem. Left my categories alone but changed my keywords. Big mistake to try out several changes at once. My books TANKED in the ratings. Spiraled out of control like a meteorite heading for Earth. Went into unheard of, miserable ratings like 800,000!!!! They were in the tens of thousands to 100,000 before I tried the techniques. All I'm advising is to read through to the end and make one teensy tiny change at a time. Otherwise, the killing that will be made is to YOUR books.

Just finished reading till the last chapter of the book, yes I read the section too where the author mentioned people leaving bad reviews just to discredit his publication without actually reading the book. So here goes...

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to becoming an elite trader in the long run, thats right, not in the coming week, not in the coming month, but if you're actually going to continue working on your skills to improve until you finally make it. The techniques mentioned in the book build upon the knowledge which the author introduced in the beginning chapters. The author goes in fantastic detail to build some solid foundation regarding how a "trader" psychology works and how that is translated into price action on the charts, he explains to you on how to gather clues regarding what the price action tries to explain to you as a trader and how that can help you make informed decisions for your trades once you learn to identity those clues.

To sum it all up, once you have gained a decent foundation in recognizing those clues as taught in chapters 1-7, the last two chapters would gather all those clues and walk you through the strategies to apply in order to trade pull backs. It really depends from one trader to another on which strategy suits the best for their trading style, but I think the author did a great job in laying the foundation for every type of trader looking to trade pullbacks. Again, as I mentioned before, you cannot expect yourself to start making money off your trades just by reading the book overnight, if you are willing to put in the time and effort to practice the strategies mentioned by the author and be able to see the "clues", then I can assure you that this book will benefit you a great deal in the long run.

Cheers!

This book as well as other books ( It is Done, Playing in Time and Space, Banned Manifestation Secrets and What to do when Stuck)  by Richard Dotts are what I called the Step by Step approach to the Law of Attraction.  This book is extremely useful to me since I have been a seeker since 2008 but I had patience and negative thoughts issues.  I over analyze stuff and need detail step by step approach.  I have read through LOA stuff by Neville Goddard, Esther Hicks, Wayne Dyer, David Che, Eddie Coronado, Seth Series, Anthony Robbins, Norman Vince Peale, Adam James and many more.  I believe that different people have different needs depending on their mental make up.  For me, due to my too logical brain (too much college MBA) and pseudo christian-Baptist Methodist /buddhist upbringing  - I needed detailed Plan of Action - short term , long term for the Law of Attraction - by reading all the authors above especially Richard Dotts, Neville Goddard, Eddie Coronado and Adam James - these authors give more specific Law of Attraction applications where Hicks,David Che and Dyers are really good by not as specific.  I believe that everybody should read as much as possible from all the authors above and see what works for them.  Then we got to really make the law of attraction work by not just thinking about it  - but LIVING it (that is the tough part) - we have to have intention (precise), our FEELINGS, thoughts , words and ACTIONS have to fully support our Law of Attraction (LOA) intent fully and congruently.  My problem - I will get very excited initially with my belief that I could create my our reality but I will be bogged down with my whining and complaining and negative bitching every day - I think I inherited the whining gene from my parents. We cannot have negative energy sabotaging our intent. Material by these authors above will help everyone apply the LOA asap - but we got to LIVE it and DO it - SUBCONSCIOSLY along with our conscious self - so that it is in sync - read it - use theta, alpha , gamma meditation or whatever positive techniques  if needed.  Phillipians 4 13 - "I can do all things through Christ (higher self, god) that live in us "  - so All of us could do all thing right now - the kingdom of god is within us - SO let us all do it now - in this journey of LIFE - to live, help our fellow man, experience LOVE, Compassion and CREATE OUR OWN REALITY NOW. God bless us all.

Great book! Chapters 1 and 4 are particularly important. And each step is vital. If you skip a step then you have poor results, but with each step clearly conceived and executed great results follow! Wow!

It would be very difficult to read more than a couple of pages without being challenged on your management approach or to be reminded of a proven solution to a problem.  Managers of sales and marketing operations will find creative ways to approach their craft as well as those devices and methods that have always worked (and always will).  Written in bite-sized chunks, you might find it helpful to simply meditate on one concept per day.  They all apply to the successful management of sales and marketing.  If you apply these principles, you will be successful.  It's as simple as that.

Read the book from cover to cover and work some examples. You should come away with a basic understanding of tolerance analysis and organizational skills to help your results make sense when you or your boss looks at it 2 weeks later. Don't give up read the whole book.

Bring your awareness and focus to a whole other level, by reading each chapter and doing the easy do-it-yourself experiment at the end of each chapter.  It's pretty amazing to witness how your energy and focus actually manifests what occurs in your life.  To quote page 125 ~ "Whatever you focus on in your life expands."  That's so true ~ prove it yourself.
My experience was with a group of about 25 people, all doing it at the same time.  We have shared so much together, that we have chosen to do Pam Grout's next book titled E-Cubed.

This book has some good tips which have enhanced my progress in the knowledge I already have.
Mary takes care in making in creating each chapter easy to follow and with step by step instructions to fully understand, just like she is there with you.
I would have liked to see some pictures to help with some of the techniques as with some I didn't fully get them.

I am stunned at how these techniques work. As one of the other reviewers have said, TRY IT with an open mind. I have gotten rid of even the minutest of anxieties bringing effectiveness and confidence to my life. You do not need to be someone who just believes something easily, but as a similar person,these techniques need to be tried - an they work. And they have worked on my family members.

As for the book itself, I guess Dr. Callahan had a challenge to make a book big enough to be called a real book and so he added some unnecessarily volume to it during the algorithms. The techniques are so incredibly simple that there is perhaps no so much to write. The reader can use his/her discretion to skip those over.

And to the non-believers : every time you get into a plane ( or a recommended restaurant) you go with a complete belief that it will work because its what everybody using it before you has done. Do the same with these techniques. You will be much happier for it.

Because it really works, if you truly believe. All of his principles work, if you apply them. You have to be extremely motivated to make the techniques in this book work for you.

I have recommended to all of my friends to read the following books in order to shortcut the process and learn what they need to know.  I told them this is what I would do if I did it over again.  (I have my CCIM, Masters of RE from CU, ULI Development Certificate, NAIOP courses) But in all those, this would be most beneficial and starting here would help in short-cutting the process:

1) What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow - Gallinelli

2) Insider Secrets to Financing Your Real Estate Investments: What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Finding and Financing Your Next Deal - Gallinelli

3) Professional Real Estate Development - 2nd Edition - Peiser

4) Principles of Real Estate Syndication - Friedman

5) Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur - Randel

I have read several other real estate books, but they tend to go way off course.  This one tells you practical knowledge shoring up the base/foundation in order to understand more complex issues, but at the end of the day, simplisity will win out.

I think I have probably told at least 10 friends to read these books and they should be part of their "Library" as this will get them where they need to go and understand without practical experience.

I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't think it wasn't great.

I have no relation or affiliation to Frank G, just have read so many books, would like to shortcut the process for other people eager to get there and I love to read other people's reviews on Amazon so I know which ones are useful.

Hope this helps

Dale Carnegie's book is really one for the ages. In it, he details concepts that seem so simple; concepts that most of us already know, though we never could have explained it with such coherency ourselves. Everyone knows it's a good idea to smile, or to remember someone's name, or be genuinely interested, but how many of us do so every day?

It's like someone explaining to you how to ride a bike: they can tell you every detail about it, but the only way to truly learn is try it for yourself. The explanation is only useful if the person is dedicated to listen carefully to the advice, and then apply it to the situation. Dale clearly understands this, and exhorts his readers to first truly take in each chapter by reading it twice, then challenges you to apply these techniques in your day-to-day life. It's unexpectedly hard at first, trying to follow his golden rules, but once they become a habit it really sets in. Dale is trying to instruct a completely different world view, not just a way to become likeable.

Dale's mastery of these skills is also surprisingly apparent, even in his writing. He gloats about the successes of his students, and time to time gives examples of his own mistakes. His writing style is direct, down to earth, and often a touch humorous. I couldn't help but feel some sort of connection to this fellow, even though he's long passed away.

The most glaring example of his skill in Charisma, however, is the very title of his book. When I first heard the name I thought it was somewhat off-putting. Now, after reading his text, I've realized he was practicing his own principles to the letter. For goodness sake, he was trying to sell a book during the great depression, and he made heaps of money off it!

If you're here reading this review, and are seriously interested in how to win friends and influence people, I suggest you buy this book ASAP. Best $10 you'll spend.

As for the E-book format: the only thing that bothered me was that the highlighting was a bit wonky. This might have been due to reading it on my galaxy note 2, but I might as well warn you. Otherwise, it worked like a dream.

First, let me admit that it took me a really long time to read this book. I'm not a slow reader . . . it's just that I decided to reread certain parts to make sure I fully understood Ron's ideas. This book is not full of fluff - it's hard hitting content right from the start. My advice? You don't want to try to read this book while trying to do three other things; find a quiet spot where you can pay attention to each word.

Ron Karr is clearly a successful sales person and the stories and examples he shares from his personal journey illustrate his instructions beautifully. But I didn't want to get lost in the stories, so I took time to create my own review before I put the book away on the shelf.

Here's what I did after completing the book:
1) Went back through each chapter and read the "Leader's Advantage" and "Leader's Wisdom" boxes again. (Took about 30 minutes.)
2) Got out pencil and paper and took a stab at completing the Chapter 1 through Chapter 10 Commitment assignments. (Took much longer than 30 minutes!)

I feel sure that even with the extra steps I took there is more to be learned from Ron Karr. If you are serious about improving your sales performance, buy the book and learn from a master. Money and time well spent.

Haven't yet read the complete book but I had a great experience until now. I have read quite a few chapters and I must say that it has definitely helped me incorporate some good habits. Highly recommend it and would also advise that one must consciously make an effort to improve their habits. It takes time to form good habits and as the old saying goes 'old habits die hard'. Be patient and try to work each day in improving your life.
