Ultimate Motivation
I finished your book this past weekend and found it an easy read, and enjoyable.  There were several nuggets that I saved and I hope to implement in the next level of my career, that I hope includes management.
 
The survey certainly framed why I am so dissatisfied in my present position, and what motivates me.  My personal issue at this time is finding my passion and pursuing it in a way that earns me living.  I look forward to applying what I learned from you at the earliest opportunity.

Feedback on Ultimate Productivity - Passing it on

"...The Ultimate Productivity test really showed my strengths and weaknesses. It confirmed to me why I recently quit my full-time job to stay at home as a freelance writer/editor.  I've given the book to my 22-year-old son.  He's struggling to know direction for his life right now.  I thought this would be an excellent tool for him."
~ Carol W.

Ultimate Productivity impacts Teen

I'm glad I had the opportunity to read your book, Ultimate Productivity, and take the Ultimate Productivity test.

I was in the library looking through the business books when I spotted Ultimate Productivity. It looked like quick read, so I picked it up. I read your book in about three days and I learned quite a few things. You might be surprised that I'm only 15 years old, but I love reading about business.  It's great to hear about people making loads of money, and how I can too. But what I love the most is the fact that business books contain more than just the knowledge essential to success in the business world, they contain the knowledge, values, and common sense attributed to success in life. I realized that success in business cannot be achieved without success in life.

~ Chris H.


Tribute to Paul HarveyPaul Harvey

This week I was preparing a tribute to Paul Harvey.  In the process of reviewing correspondence and tapes, I ran across the very first phone call I received from Paul Harvey. It was the basis of our friendship. His spirit of encouragement, giving, and enthusiasm should be a model for each of us as we seek Ultimate Productivity
~ Jim Stovall, March 4, 2009
 
 



"We are finishing up the book study...in a basic leadership meeting we are planning on working on a 'workflow' revamp and feel that the study in productivity will lead us directly into this new project."
 
~ Beverly R. at Tulsa Technology Center
 


Ultimate Productivity reaches all ages
"I'm disabled age 64 and no longer work.  I heard about the test while listening to the radio and took the test on a lark to see what my previous employers might have seen had they hired you to test me.  Its an excellent test, and it gave me pause for some introspection.  Thank you, and good luck from a long time admirer."
 
~ H. Perez
 
 
Ultimate Productivity makes inroads in higher education

"...I thoroughly enjoyed Ultimate Productivity and felt as though I learned a lot about myself. I think the best thing about it is that it is a highly personal book. Approaching success as a path, rather than a specialized process has become crucial to my understanding of productivity.  ...overall, I'd give your book an A..." 
~ C. Dowell, Baylor University

Ultimate Productivity spans cultures
 
"...Jim Stovall's latest book is excellent, and reading it has made me realise yet again how far I still am from being ultimately productive myself. My personal goal for next year is to reduce the time I spend "faffing" on admin and concentrate on the important stuff!"
~ E. Handover, Intrapersona KK, Japan

Ultimate Productivity Impacts Corporate America

“…I have just finished reading your new book for the second time and I have found it even more fascinating than I did the first read. I leave it lying here on my desk at work and it causes quite a stir.  People can’t seem to keep their hands off of it. What strikes me as most amazing is that I have caught several of them slipping in and reading a chapter from time to time. What is even more amazing it has remained on my desk and not disappeared, a testament to the character of the people I work with.

I would really appreciate it if you would allow me to order 10 autographed copies for some of my management coworkers here at QT.”

~ S. Finn, QuikTrip Corporation
