Sweet Success
By David Sweet
Sweet Success
Galaxies away from today’s numerous clichéd self-help and sales-pitch formula books, #SweetSuccess delves into the complexities of arête—excellence—and how to achieve it in all areas of life.
The author intelligently and astutely explores myriad realms of topics that balance faiths, cultures, social mores, relational lifestyles, philosophies—the whole gamut of life—to expand and enhance readers’ perspectives and worldview.
For serious students of abundant life, the following are just a few of what readers will encounter: the wisdom of Socrates; genius of Hippocrates; talents of Mozart and da Vinci; creativity of The Beatles and Duke Ellington; beauty of poetry; courage of Captain James Cook; seriousness of the Sapri-Whorf hypothesis; imagination of Virginia Woolf and Stephen King; daring of Evel Knievel, and the humorous and intriguing life of the well-traveled, well-schooled, and well-read author himself.
Author David Sweet writes: We are born an animal, a homo sapien, and each of us needs to progress into being a human: moving from just an animal with opposable thumbs who collects the most sticks in the best cave or in our modern-day collection of money and the creature comforts of home and food and Netflix, into something greater that creates, develops, and helps the human race progress.
The 60 eclectic chapters will change every readers’ outlook on life; thought-provoking and rumination-prompting topics include the following and many more:
Earth and Space Science
Parenting and Politics
Fashion and Fitness
Cooking and Literature
Writing and Reading
Music and Feng Shui
World History and Warfare
Memory and Dreams
Childhood and Eulogies
Aesthetics and Angels
(And even) Dental Hygiene
Each chapter concludes with exercises designed for personal introspection and self-motivation, urging readers to dive into the next step of their journey toward #SweetSuccess with excellence as their core philosophy.
David Sweet
David started selling when he was 8 years old. At that time, he learned many of the lessons that he now passes along to sales professionals around the world. He has navigated the bureaucratic and political mazes of the U.S. Government and has spent two decades in Asia consulting for Top Tier companies. He also started the important mental disciplines of karate and marathon running. This combination has become a good defense mechanism in case of a poor sales call.
He has focused on selling in Tokyo for the past two decades and is the founder and CEO of the human capital consultancy, FocusCore Group. He is also a keynote speaker and seminar leader and author of Sweet Sales, Recruit!: Becoming the Top-Biller, as well as having published several articles and was most recently cited in Changing Jobs Without a Resume Using Social Media for his expertise in using social networking for recruitment in Japan. He holds a Ph.D. in Leadership Development and a M.A. in Communications from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. He is also a Certified Executive Coach for the Center for Executive Coaching in Sarasota, Florida, an ICF accredited organization.
And in sales calls, he seldom has the need to pull out his black belt or run out of sales meetings.
