Product Description

Learn the keys to Outstanding Success and reveal the millionaire in your mirror

Despite never being, as he admits, the best communicator, the most talented manager, or the smartest guy in the room, Gene Bedell quickly worked his way up the corporate ladder?accumulating career earnings that put him among the country's top one percent of earners while doing what he loved and always putting family first. By looking at his own career and the careers of others who have achieved Outstanding Success?people who all started with nothing?he found it was possible for those who put their minds to it to become wealthy while spending their careers doing work they love.

Now, in The Millionaire in the Mirror, Bedell reveals how you too can find career fulfillment while earning millions?without social connections, an Ivy League education, an MBA, or the kind of earth-shattering managerial talent that makes the world take notice?and how you can do it without destroying your personal life, resorting to hucksters' get-rich-quick schemes, or opting out of a traditional career path.

Inside you'll find the seven success strategies that will revitalize your days at work, helpful tips for getting "unstuck" at any age or phase of your career, and answers to the crucial career questions that are asked far too infrequently. Approachable but authoritative, this is the book for everyday people who have extraordinary potential. If you have the desire and drive to achieve truly Outstanding Success, you can turn the person you see in the mirror into the millionaire you're destined to become.

5 out of 5 stars This book completely changes your perspective.   September 26, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is fantastic. I recently graduated from college and reading Dr. Bedell's book has changed my perspective on what originally seemed like a good, competitive and prestigious consulting job. It is now clear to me that this position is an almost limbo like holding pattern where I personally will never be able to stand out. I think it is this complete change of perspective that makes Millionaire in the Mirror surpass other career management books. Gene doesn't waste time on concepts that a thousand books drone on about (pleasing your boss, salary negotiation, networking) he dives straight into a new philosophy for your life, and specifically your career.
I could continue to gush on about this book but I think my endorsement comes from the fact that I recently announced to my superiors that I will be leaving my position in a few months. I'm not doing this out of fear but out of the realization that I have a significantly better chance of maximizing my potential with a career that I love, where I am able to deliver exceptional results and can also lead to future opportunities to advance. It's easy to write bullet points like this, but after reading Millionaire in the Mirror, I am confident that I actually know how to do it.

There are very few books on career management, and I think this is the top of the bunch. The author Dr. Gene Bedell has created another great book, this time attacking the serious issue of career management in order to achieve outstanding success. During my Ph.D studies in business I had to evaluate many books, and I think this book has three main qualities which make it special: 1) it is easy to follow and understand, 2) it provides a logical approach to achieving outstanding career success, and 3) it will give one the self-confidence and understanding needed to achieve one's career goals. Let me talk about the first point.

Gene made this book with the reader in mind. The book uses many simple metaphors to explain complexes topic eloquently. This book also provides memorable stories which make his lessons so much more impactful. Finally, the book is written in common English not the language of MBAs or Lawyers.

Secondly, the book provides a logical approach to career management. Gene setup the chapters logically, and presents his career strategies simply. He uses categories and self-assessments in a step-wise process to help readers understand how to achieve their goals. Finally, much of the content is novel advice which is put so simply it is outright powerful.

Lastly, this book will provide the readers with a great self-confident in developing their own career. The stories, lessons, and advices help the readers develop a confidence and an understanding of careers management that even the best career coach would admire.
In all, this book and the concepts in it also apply perfectly to doctor (Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, and so on) seeking to be the best in their profession. Hence, if you have any ambitions in your career path, you stand to benefit from reading this book. I might be slightly bias because I am goal oriented and I love seeing people succeed, but I think making the time to read this book will be an investment which pays off for the rest of your working career. That is not a bad deal for a $20 investment.

Thanks

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book   September 14, 2008
For anyone who feels they are in mid career like myself, and beginning to drift, this is the book for you.The Millionaire in the Mirror: How to Find Your Passion and Make a Fortune Doing It--Without Quitting Your Day Job I am a life and business coach sceptic, and know several who cant run their own lives or business, but as I read the book it felt like it was written for me alone. Clearly the author is on top of his subject and has walked the walk himself. I could see my managers described exactly as the author outlines the pattern that leads to career drift.

I now know that I am one of the 'forlorn' whose carreer needs a shot in the arm to avoid a working life of aimless indifference, dreading the alarm each morning. It has given me the direction to place myself first and ensure I get the carreer success I desire. This book is BS free, no circles to fill in, no role playing, just accurate and insightful advice. It is also balanced advice, cautioning of the perils of entrepreneurial ventures, as weighed against the safer corporate life.

If your not fully satisfied with your carreer you need to buy this book, and it will give you the AHA moment you need.




5 out of 5 stars Completely Changed my Perspective   September 10, 2008
Mr. Bedell has written a terrifically valuable and entertaining book for everyone who wants to move their career forward, regardless of it's
current state. Bedell's advice is both actionable and inspiring and goes well beyond the "visualize and you can achieve it" mantra preached by other pop-career guides. It is similar in this regard to Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People and will retain its relevancy for ears to come.

I read the books two weeks ago, and when I was halfway through, I decided to try out some of the techniques described for a few days. Last week when I was having a drink with some co-workers a Senior VP of my company whom I had never met approached me and told me that he had been hearing a lot about me from my managers as a result of the work I had done in the previous week. True story.

After the above experience I can't help but wholeheartedly recommend the book. Even more valuable, perhaps, than the specific career management advice is the framework Bedell lays out for thinking about and making important career decisions. If you absorb the advice of the book, many seemingly difficult career choices will seem painfully obvious and that alone makes this worth a read.
