The Common Sense Guy Shares Model for Success in Straightforward New Book
Bud Bilanich shows readers how to develop the five characteristics of a successful person in his practical new book "Straight Talk for Success."
Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- Bud Bilanich is a preeminent business consultant, executive coach and speaker whose advice has helped steer both ordinary individuals and Fortune 500 executives to success. Bilanich is known as The Common Sense Guy and his five-point model for success is now available to everyone through his new book "Straight Talk for Success" (ISBN 9780963828095, Front Row Press, 2008).
"Straight Talk for Success" is directed toward early and mid career professionals, but anyone in need of motivation can easily apply its advice to their personal or professional life. Bilanich developed his success model from his executive coaching work. The model identifies the five characteristics that successful people have in common: self confidence, positive personal impact, outstanding performance, communication skills and interpersonal competence.
Bilanich says one of the biggest mistakes people make regarding career and life success, is thinking that a good performance is enough to guarantee success. While outstanding performance is definitely necessary for success, Bilanich says successful people are more than just good performers. "Straight Talk for Success" teaches readers how to apply all five key success factors to their personal lives and careers.
The book is organized into five sections based on the model for success. Each section has three chapters that show readers how to develop one of the five characteristics of a successful person. "My success principles resonate with people because they make sense," Bilanich says. "They're just common sense. The hard part is putting them to work. You have to commit to doing the work necessary to reap the rewards that will come from applying them."
"Straight Talk for Success" is a reader-friendly guide to success that's peppered with illustrative stories from Bilanich's own experiences and filled with practical, no-nonsense advice, already proven to work for some of the top executives in the business world.
