Work Less, Make More by Jennifer White.

This is decent self-help fair. Jennifer White's key insite is to do what you are brilliant at, delegate what you are not and do everything possible to grow.

The rest of the book covers many of the well known "effective" self-help strategies.
  • You are responbile for taking action, for leading yourself.
  • Have a plan. You will go no where if you don't.
  • Don't waste your time. Cut out TV if it is not renewing you.
  • Execute on the plan all the time. Always focusing on that which is most important.
  • Delegate the things you are weak at. You need to focus on your strengths. Make sure you train the persion you delegate to, to do the job twice as well as you do.
  • Automate as much as you can.
  • Duplicate your strengths. Find people who have the same strengths as you and grow those strengths.

White is also in favor of Scheduling to get things done.
