Summary

With the crisp style and provocative insights that have made him a leading syndicated columnist, Dale Dauten explores how the best bosses, employees and suppliers think, learn, and communicate differently. The title of his new book is taken from his conversation with the late Jean-Pierre Rampal, who reigned for decades as the world's leading flute player. When asked about his willingness to experiment with his technique, Rampal thought a long moment, then said, "Some nights I go out and play a piece perfectly. Then, the next night, I play it better." In his previous book, The Gifted Boss, Dauten detailed what he learned from his search for the country's best managers. Now with Better Than Perfect, he expands his research to include "best-ever" colleagues at every level.

    Financial Security Is Closer Than You Think 
     
    These days, between taxes and consumption, many people have nothing left to invest. Tom Curran will show you that it doesn't have to be that way, and he will advise you on how to change that. That means not just financial strategies but emotional intelligence because if spending and saving money were simply logical matters, most people would have plenty. Regardless of how smart or logical you are, when it comes to making decisions, emotion is the great neutralizer. 
     
    With Investing Ahead, Curran has spelled out the eight investment essentials that have made him—and his clients—wealthy. Tom's named these essentials "Curranisms," and you can start using these Curranisms now and watch your investment future change. He'll show you how to change the way you look at money—even a dollar bill—by looking at its future worth, not in terms of the value it currently holds. 
     
    Curran draws upon his vast personal resource of knowledge and experience that he has accumulated over more than fifty years advising clients and managing money. He will show you where Wall Street has gone wrong and how you can do right. Most of all, he will show you how, by using his eight essentials, you can start investing ahead for a secure financial future.

    What Are Story Grid Beats? 
    We think about the story creation process (writing) as one big “problem.”   
    You simply want to travel from where you are right now (without a story that works) to a place where your story takes on a life of its own. It works. 
    We submit to you that the practical way to unpack that very big problem is by breaking it into smaller, more easily solvable units.   
    Just as performers break down acting challenges into moment to moment micro-actions they call beats, so do Story Grid Beat books break your story problems into specific high-resolution mini-puzzles.  
    They’re like global positioning system reports for when you find yourself lost on your author’s journey. And once they clearly define the problem at hand, they offer procedural advice about how best to reframe your approach and solve it in your own unique way.  
    After all, you can’t begin to solve a problem until you clearly know what it is. You Are Not the Problem. The Problems are the Problem.
