I’ve been in love with business books since I was a child and I’m also a big fan of great story telling. I didn’t realize until recently that you can have both in one book! Discovering this genre of business books that inspire and delight while passing along new and useful insights was a wonderful surprise for me that I like to share with others. These gripping stories have opened up a whole new world for me and allowed me to learn and apply their lessons much more quickly. It’s simply more fun and easier to remember new wisdom when it’s carried forward in gripping stories.

Top of Heart: How a new approach to business saved my life, and could save yours too
Achievement almost killed him. Fulfillment saved him. Grant Muller was nearly killing himself – quite literally. A desperate quest to get rich had made him a millionaire before the age of 30 but then taken him to the brink: homeless, living on drugs, and hustle. If his lifestyle didn’t end him, one of the thugs he owed money to would surely do the job.
So when he finally got off the streets and got clean, he transformed his understanding of business. Today he earns his millions as a real estate agent, living and working with a ‘Top of Heart’ philosophy, the true source of authentic connection, fulfillment, and success. His remarkable story is a call to a new, more human approach to business that might just save your life, too.
As a young real estate agent, I had heard it a million times: “Real estate is a relationship business”.
I understood this in theory, but I had no idea how to put this wisdom into practice. Then I read The Go-Giver and everything changed for me. Through a truly compelling story about the protagonist Joe, I learned about the 5 laws of Stratospheric Success.
I couldn’t put this fascinating book down and I read the whole thing in an afternoon.
The 5 laws forever changed the way I see business, sales, and life. I’ve gone on to surpass my wildest dreams in business and I owe so much of my success (and joy) to this special little book!
