In a radical departure for my blog, instead of helping you to succeed, today I want to help you learn "How To Be A Complete and Utter Failure in Life, Work & Everything"
So here is my tip - listen to Steve McDermott.
I was introduced to the ideas of Steve and "how to fail" by Peter Thomson's Achiever's Edge but I'll let you into a little secret.
Steve McDermott doesn't really want you to fail. It's reverse psychology.
He has written the book "How to Be a Complete and Utter Failure in Life, Work and Everything: 44 1/2 Steps to Lasting Underachievement" which I haven't read yet but I am excited by the live CD "How to Be a Complete and Utter Failure."
Two reasons:
- It is very funny
- The messages are powerful
The CD covers Six and a Half steps that have to be listened to very carefully in case you might do the opposite:
- Don't change your mood
- Don't change your beliefs
- Don't know what you value
- Don't do things on purpose
- Don't spend any time in the future
- Don't have goals
- Don't stop doing everything by halves
Steve McDermott has been voted European speaker of the year.
Should you wish to book Steve McDermott you can find out more details from his entry on Speakers for Business Steve McDermott and there are a few samples of his public speaking.
The CD is strongly recommended if you feel that you need to get yourself motivated, learn and have a laugh all at the same time. I am sure that this is one "change your life" CD that I will be listening to many times.
The CD is available from Amazon.co.uk
and his book on the same theme has great reviews which you can get from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
This is the problem with Peter Thomson's Achievers Edge, Peter does introduce you to so much good stuff that you will want to know more.
