From Ordinary to Extraordinary

When I first met Razi Imam several years ago, I was impressed with his sales savvy, business acumen and passion. As the founder of Landslide Technologies, he was clearly on a mission to increase salespeople's productivity and speed up the sales cycle.

At that time, I had no idea about his extraordinary journey from an immigrant dockworker in Kuwait to the CEO of a rapidly growing Sales 2.0 company. Nor did I know what was really bubbling under the surface.

That's what he's written about in his hot new book, Driven: A How-to Strategy to Unlock Your Greatest Potentials.

When he first showed me the manuscript this winter, I was totally taken in by "Junoon." This ancient Eastern concept deals with how ordinary people achieve extraordinary goals. Junoon keeps you moving forward, despite the obstacles, because you know that what you do matters.

So if you want your life to make a difference, you'll love Driven. It's a combination of Razi's personal story intermixed with a captivating story of Junoon.

The worse thing is, it's still haunting me days after I put it down.

You see, I've been swept up in Junoon several times in the past decade. It's an energizing force that enriches you personally at the same time it makes a big impact on others. Both SellingtoBigCompanies.com and GetBacktoWorkFaster.com are the direct results of my Junoons.

But I didn't realize that I could actively encourage more Junoons in my life. And, believe me, after you've experienced one, you definitely want to do it again.

So that's why I'm recommending this book. It's easy to read, but definitely impactful!
