Whether that success be personal orientated or business, this easy to read-grasp book can be used as a motivational tool for self-help or a great resource for those seeking to teach others how to succeed. The “real life” examples and scenarios given throughout the book are extremely relatable and easily understood. Peitzman’s emphasizes on listening to your own intuition or “gut feeling”. If the business situation or personal situation you are in feels bad to you, then correct it accordingly. If the situation is good, the jump on that good feeling bandwagon! I enjoyed how the concepts of this book can be used both in professional and personal situations in life. Most likely, if a person is not happy with their professional life, it will affect their personal life, and vice versa. Highly recommend reading, and sharing with others! read less

I know I have so I purchased this book in hopes of reigniting the drive I once had to better myself. This book absolutely delivers that! The author is very passionate about his content; thus making the reading inspirational. It was very easy to follow, well written, everyone and anyone can apply these simple principles to their lives. It is quick and stimulating reading, and I was completely amazed when the author encouraged the readers to keep in touch and provided his website in the event a reader needed guidance or had any questions!! You don’t see that everyday!! I will continue to read this book again and again I’m sure. Well worth the investment! read less

If you feel a situation is good or bad, he encourages to definitely listen to those internal instructions. I love how he goes back and constantly reinstills the lessons he taught in the previous chapters, that way they are always ingrained. If you are anxious to jump start your business, this book contains short chapters and with straight to the point advise. You can trust in Peitzman to give you the best first foot forward into your successful future business. read less

This book is great for managers who have hit a stagnant point or new managers who want to bring a new system of management into their organization. I think the system itself is a great bridge between traditional management and unique management skills that really would set you and your company apart from others.What really spoke to me was an instance where the author introduced the idea and people could identify that they were an individual part of the BUILD system. Even looking at my current and past roles, I could see in the past where I was focused on, or solely responsible for only certain parts of the BUILD system and how the missing steps were detrimental to the entire operation. In my instance I was missing the first step ‘B’. I can think of many roles that might only consist of one or two letters in the system, especially in companies with very specialized departments that are detached from the entire process. The point though, isn’t to identify with a singular piece of the system. Everyone should be using the whole BUILD system regardless of their role. The wholistic approach definitely seems like something that would benefit many companies.The author indicates your first read through should just be a quick pass and further read throughs are important and will yield more knowledge. I would agree strongly. In my first pass of the book the new material made me want to stop and write things down, but I only pondered how my past and present management experience compared. Looking forward to a second read through to build an actionable plan for my situation. read less

However, personally, I felt like it was written for a certain type of person despite the clearly applicable aspects that addressed things I would implement in my own life but besides that, I felt like I was reading about ways to help other people (which is also not a bad thing). Overall, I give it three stars, because it was pretty good, just less personally my speed. read less

The book is short, but packs a powerful punch with the five simple steps to help those in management or leadership positions to remember what is important. After reading the book I feel as though I have more insight on how to build better relationships, become a more strategic and effective leader. If you feel your life is out of whack or in dis array, if you are struggling this a great read for guidance to lift yourself from Struggleville.The author offers plenty of his own personnel stories to go along with his highly motivational principles and inspirational quotes. Although the book may be short, read it once and then again so you get the full context and understand the concepts of what the author is saying and portraying tot he reader. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to build a better self. read less
