DISCOVER who you are. IMAGINE who you could be, and ACHIEVE all the potential within you.

We are all only as good as the thoughts we think. What are you thinking? If you want to change your life, you have to change the way you think. Your mind is a steering wheel, and you can move it in any direction you desire.

Personal mentor to entrepreneurs Mark Sephton challenges you to create the right environment and mental culture to tap into your creative genius.

Inside Job is built on your capability to work on the way you think, act and behave. Your beliefs about who you are determine your behaviour. The way we think, our attitude and mindset toward ourselves is an “inside job.” Discovering your own identity and purpose is paramount to achieving extraordinary shifts in the way you live, develop and advance. In this way, you can fully understand who you are and live out of your own identity.

As a society, we’re only one thought away from a cure for AIDS and cancer. We must create an environment where we each intentionally strengthen our ability to harvest the thoughts that could bring liberation, breakthrough and success— not just for ourselves but for our communities and our world.

Sephton share’s his personal story of struggle, setbacks and challenges that have shaped the successful man he is today. Often in life, others want what you have, but few are willing to go through what you did in order to get it. Mark shares his story to encourage and liberate and, in the process, reveals stories that created mindset shifts, character building and a mental culture that stimulated personal growth. Inside Job encourages people to have the audacity not just to think and dream, but to act.

Sephton shares countless groundbreaking methods and mindset shifts that have led to the turnaround of entrepreneurial businesses and their leaders through his professional life:

  • The ability to take a thought and put it into action
  • Be you everyone else is taken
  • Jump in the driver’s seat, and take the wheel
  • Life is a marathon not a sprint
  • Breaks lead to breakthroughs
  • Small victories today will change the course of tomorrow
  • Turn adversity into advantage

Here is the key…

You must learn to determine and distinguish the four major behavioral styles.

Part One “Understanding People Smarts” contains four powerful chapters that help you to identify and better deal with virtually everyone. The “The Platinum Rule®” chapter teaches you more about treating others the way they want to be treated, not the way you want to be treated -without being phony or underhanded. The “I Know Who You Are, But What Am I?” chapter describes each behavioral style and help you determine which one you are. Next, you learn how to identify other people’s natural styles. The “Adaptability” chapter includes both versatility and flexibility characteristics and helps you determine how adaptable you are in life’s varying situations.

Part Two of People Smart in Business deals with “Workplace Applications.” The three chapters here focus on getting along with everyone on the job, leadership styles, and how to sell and deliver quality service with style.

This is a reader-friendly book. You can use and re-use it as a constant companion to consult when dealing with difficult people and stressful situations.

People Smart in Business gives you the tools to get what you want in various work situations and equips you with the power and knowledge to cash in on these insights through more positive and productive exchanges with others.

Now you are a citizen in a connected world, this book gives you tools to become a digital leader, ready to tackle the new and sometimes troubling realities of a life in which all we are, all we do, and everything we own is expressed as ones and zeros – data that must be understood, managed, and safeguarded.

What happens if the grid goes down? And why does the sleeper threat of cyber terrorism represent the real apocalypse?

For hundreds of years, traditional business structures have put an organizational/legal boundary around an asset or a workforce and ‘sold’ access to that scarcity. However, just in the last few years, a new breed of organizational structure is emerging that is able to scale at unimaginable rates – we call these Exponential Organizations (ExOs). These new organization structures are leveraging a newly available set of externalities like big data, community, the crowd or accelerating technologies and by doing so, are performing 10x better than their peers in the same space. This book examines the attributes of an Exponential Organization and provides a how-to guide for building a startup with these principles, how the principles can be applied to a mid-market company and how to retrofit these ideas into large organizations.

Stephen Shapiro

In times of reduced funding, tighter deadlines, and fewer resources, a different approach to innovation is required.

Unfortunately, concepts such as “thinking outside the box” actually kill innovation.

It’s time to innovate the way you innovate.

Stephen Shapiro proves that innovation isn’t just about generating occasional new ideas; it’s about staying consistently one step ahead of the competition.

  • – Don’t innovate everywhere. To get the greatest return from your innovation efforts, you must “innovate where you differentiate.”
  • – Asking for ideas is a bad idea.Instead, ask for solutions to well-defined challenges. In other words, “find a better box.”
  • – Expertise is the enemy of innovation.The more you know about a problem, the more difficult it is to find breakthrough solutions.
  • – The brain kills innovation. The brain is wired for survival, not change.

Shapiro shows that nonstop innovation is attainable and vital to building a high-performing team, improving the bottom line, and staying ahead of the pack. In fact, his strategies have generated a tenfold improvement in innovation ROI.
