Product Description

Product Description

Turning Passions Into Profits provides specific techniques for rapidly closing the gap between where you are today and where you′d like to be tomorrow. In this book, Christopher Howard teaches powerful, innovative tools for modeling and replicating the ultimate success of some of the world′s greatest leaders and billionaires. With the ability to select and incorporate some of the traits, strategies, thought patterns, and behaviors of those already achieving results, individuals can plot a course and arrive at a chosen destination quicker than they ever thought possible. It provides concrete tools and strategies to fully understand the governing principles outstanding achievers use to realize their vision.
In addition, Turning Passions Into Profits supplies exercises to apply these communication and leadership tools to master these skills–ultimately gaining career, financial, and personal success.

From the Inside Flap

What invisible boundaries come between people and their dreams?

Isn′t the playing field the same for everyone?

How can ordinary people break away from the pack?

Why do some people enjoy phenomenal success in everything they do?

In Turning Passions into Profits, Chris Howard, a leading authority on personal influence and effectiveness, helps readers break through boundaries to achieve wealth and power. He gives eye–opening insight into the playing field and the rules of the game of life, and provides innovative techniques and concrete tools for expanding the playing field, rewriting the rules, and winning the game.

Each individual′s personal rule book is based on learned behavior and personal experiences that shape his or her perspectives. Turning Passions into Profits helps readers recognize and overcome their stifling, self–imposed rules and limitations and move toward a more fulfilling and rewarding future.

"Change your focus and take charge of your life" is Howard′s mantra. He provides actionable techniques to get readers on the fast track from today′s frustrating status quo to tomorrow′s infinite possibilities. This inspiring, empowering book includes thought–provoking exercises to complete and strategies to incorporate into every facet of life, including Creation Technologies, modeling, Strategic Visioning, building teams and rapport, and communicating with power. Readers learn about six hallmarks of powerful communications that influence people and special techniques to inspire confidence.

For years, Howard has studied the lives and characteristics of a diverse group of people, some from quite ordinary backgrounds, who became extraordinarily successful, including Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Oprah Winfrey, and Nelson Mandela. He zeroes in on common characteristics and shares his insight to help readers learn from and emulate the strategies of the masters.

Turning Passions into Profits is part practical, part philosophical, and all–powerful. It′s not a one–time read; it′s a lifetime reference for those who want to quickly close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

As a coach who has been involved in the personal development industry for some time, what appeals to me very specifically in Chris' book, is his very specific step-by-step explanation on how to go about gathering information on individuals you want to model, and then his detailed explanation on how to integrate that knowledge so that you can utilise it.
I have personally used his approach to 'Genius Reading' titles on individuals I wished to model aspects of, and have guided many of my clients to taking the same approach. Most of them were so intrigued that they wanted to know a little more - and many now own the book themselves.
If you have read much on NLP, Rapport building, etc (by Tony Robbins or others for example), then some of the material will be re-enforcing. If however, you have never covered these topics, then this will be a good introduction.
One area that Chris could have been a little more explicit on is providing the reader with the specific questions they should be asking themselves when reading the material about the individuals they wish to model. He very clearly explains what you need to look for, yet there is still a subtle shift that the reader needs to make from knowing what to look for, to explicitly asking themselves the questions upfront to prime their subconscious mind for the exercises. (Chris could possibly have provided a list of questions for the reader to ask themselves).
eg Chris advises that we should look for the Individual's Meta-Programs (and gives a good explanation on what that is), however, what would really 'switch on' the sub-conscious is if the reader were to EXPLICITLY ask themselves up-front "What are [Warren Buffett's / Oprah's] Meta-Programs?" The mere act of asking the question outright, prepares the mind in advance for what to look for.
I DEFINITELY give this book the thumbs-up!

getting what you want 12 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is a great book as it goes in detail with certain nlp concepts such as modelling, rapport. The book guides you on how you can build good rapport how you can figure out a person's personality. This is not a typical think postive book it goes deeper than that, at times I found it a bit complicated but I have learnt stuff that I never knew of in the past, like how to model another person

Passionately written 5 April 2011
Format:Hardcover
I am beginning to become a fan of this guy's writings. Plenty to exercise the mind in this, and some mind exercises as well. So if you are a slouch and expecting a glide through this and on to your next book then forget it. Christopher gets you working to make those all important changes in yourself, and that is how you get to turn your passions into profits.
