Daniel Knows How to Get Results

Having been through three years of coaching with Daniel's company (Building Champions) I can say they know how to get results. While I didn't work with Daniel personally the coach I did work with taught based on the philosphy of this book. If you are looking for a way to move your business forward today, this is not the book for you. Daniel believes you have to have a road map to know where you are going before you start the actual business planning. This is about a balanced life while increasing your business success. You start with what you want from life? What do you envision as success in your life? That is your "Life Plan". Without that you don't know in what direction you have to take your business life to achieve your success. I can rave about the book and Daniel's philosophy of teaching but the best evidence is after following his program step by step I was able to reduce substantially the number of hours I work, enjoy life more, and at the same time increase my income by more than 80%. While someone else's results may not be the same this is a book you need to study. It will move you and your team, if you have one, to the next level and beyond. Knowing his philosphy as expressed in this book I had to share my success and hope other people will step up and achieve the same or greater results.

Awesome book

This is an awesome book on becoming a coaching leader. Daniel Harkavy lays it on the line when it comes to what it takes to become a successful coaching leader. I would highly recommend this book to any leader wanting to raise his / her ability to effectively lead people.

Great book!

The methodology in this book will change how you see your work and give you the tools to be a better and more purposeful leader. I'm coached by the author's firm, Building Champions, and their process allows you to take a step back and view your work (and life) in 4 step approach that is really wonderful. Check it out!
