    Atlas Shrugged - Week 2: Chapters 3-4

    HOT! 
    Wow, thank you. I see I am missing out on a lot. This whole scene was cut down to like two paragraphs in my version. Guess I need to switch over to the real book. :rofl:

    Atlas Shrugged - Week 2: Chapters 3-4

    HOT! 
    Since my audiobook doesn't have page numbers, what is the context of these two quotes? My audiobook seems to be a horribly condensed version where I don't remember either of these quotes appearing, so the lack of context may be causing me to misinterpret something... but just on face value...

    Atlas Shrugged - Week 2: Chapters 3-4

    HOT! 
    The understanding they came to feels like a sinister plot to use Washington as the lever to take Rearden down. But Wesley Mouch!?!?! Is REARDEN'S Washington man!?!?! At that line, I was like, wait, whaaaat? So is he double crossing Rearden? Or is he spying on the competition? ~ The anti dog...

    Google gone too far?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think this is the most likely scenario. It reminds me of a thing I heard where Target started showing someone ads for baby diapers, car seats, strollers, and various other baby items. Shortly afterward, she found out she was pregnant. In other words, to her it felt like Target knew she was...

    Merging Into The Middle Lane: Best Industry For Sales Jobs?

    Tech company. Or Pharmaceutical sales. They have good margins and you can make a good living if you're hungry. I spent two years on the phone selling a saas product. Best decision of my career.

    Yeah, audiobooks will work great! And then if you find yourself wanting a physical copy of some of them later, you'll already know which ones you find especially informative and helpful.

    Oh wow! #applause You're getting started early! Way to go!!! Oh, another good book on this topic is "Thou Shall Prosper" by Daniel Lapin. It'll set you free from the suspicion that you're doing something wrong by charging money in business.

    A few of the top ones I've read: The Ultimate Sales Machine Influence by Robert Cialdini ETA: You probably won't get everything you need from just one or two books. Since sales doesn't come naturally to you, I'd soak in a number of sales books over the next year or so. You'll gradually absorb...

    This sounds like you are not quite sure that charging money is a legitimate thing to do. I'm not sure that you have justified it, even to yourself. If you're asking this question, you're looking at this more from a consumer mindset ("I would be horrified if someone charged ME that much!")...

    Atlas Shrugged Week 1: Ch 1-2

    HOT! 
    That's so sad. I guess I'm projecting too much from my own life experience and the role my mother played in my life. I was just saying to someone yesterday that I can't think of a single failure in my mother's life, from the beginning of my life until now. I can't think of a single instance...

    I found the audiobook on hoopla and listened to the first two chapters in a plane yesterday. I've never read it before and only had this thread to clue me in to what I might be in for. @Primeperiwinkle , your brilliant recap of chapters 1-2 was what convinced me to give it a try. Couple of...

    Here are a couple of my observations. It's good to take personal responsibility. However, this can easily slip into self shaming and self loathing. I see a lot of this in your post. Be careful of this. It is an unhealthy mindset that is ultimately unhelpful. It sounds like you might be trying...

    Blinkist?

    I don't have experience with that service, but I have found the YouTube channel "Productivity Game" to provide some great core takeaways for business books in 5-10 minutes per book (for free). Usually it just whets my appetite to read the actual book. Example: View: https://youtu.be/QIRk382yJm4

    Welcome to the forum, Sarah! If your circumstances cause you to feel that it's necessary for you to fly under the radar, I don't see anything wrong with that. Discretion is never out of place. Not everyone will feel threatened by sharing their fastlane plans with the people close to them...

    No, it seems he's dead. Crazy how the rented facebook accounts are probably still floating out there, ready to scam someone else, though.

    One sample from page 1: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Priceless. On the flip side, I once did an exercise where I built a spreadsheet that logged 25 or 30 of the common characteristics of the book covers on the top 50 bestsellers, like the placement of the title (top vs bottom)...
