The Book that Connected Me to My Grandpa

<p>In this episode, we discuss Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. This is a book that I found in my Grandpa’s library after he died. For someone that was always an employee, 40 years with GM, my grandpa’s library had more to do with shaping my entrepreneurial process than anything else. The book is broken into several chapters with different sections. </p> <ol><li style="font-weight:400;">What I wish I would have known before my Grandpa died</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">What is in How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">How I intend to use the book</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">My challenge to the audience for 2022</li> </ol>Techniques in Handling People <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Give honest and sincere appreciation.</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Arouse in the other person an eager want.</li> </ul> Six ways to Make People Like You <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">Become genuinely interested in other people.</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Smile.</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Be a good listener.
