From the Introduction:
Speak with no fear.
Does that sound impossible?
You've heard the statistics that say people are more afraid of public speaking than death. That doesn't mean we'd choose a firing squad over a podium. It means our fear of death is less pressing than our fear of speaking. In other words, death seems a long way off, but that Zoom presentation is in five days, seven hours, and nineteen minutes.
But there are some people who don't mind public speaking. They actually enjoy it. I know because I'm one of them. No, I wasn't born without adrenal glands. Nor was I always this way. In the Speak With No Fear book (SWNF), I share stories of my early struggles with public speaking, including the time I literally gave myself a psychosomatic fever to avoid facing my audience.
Learning to speak without debilitating fear is a skill that can be learned by anyone.
Who is this for? In short, it's for anyone who doesn't want to be held back anymore. If you're ready to conquer your fears and reap all the benefits of being a confident public speaker, you need to get this workbook now!

Everyone wants to be successful, but few are willing to do the work and even fewer know how.
According to executive coach and best-selling author Mike Acker, there is no single secret to success but five non-negotiable drivers: knowledge, experience, communication, emotional intelligence, and drive.
What about talent?
Imagine a bucket punctured with five holes. Those holes, not the bucket's size, determines its capacity. In the same way, talent is meaningless if you are failing in one (or more) of the drivers. Your success cannot rise above your lowest hole.
In The Five Drivers of Success, you'll learn:
- Why boredom can be a greater obstacle than lack of talent or laziness.
- The difference between punching the clock and becoming a resident expert.
- How great communication overcomes weaknesses but bad communication neutralizes strengths.
- Why self-focus, properly understood, is the key to effectively dealing with conflict and criticism.
- How to develop the grit that gets you over the hump.
Are you tired of being passed up by less qualified coworkers? Worried that you've already peaked? Or just starting out and looking for a reliable roadmap to the top? Whatever your story, this is the book you need to identify, and eliminate, the limiters that are holding you back.
From the Introduction:
...there isn't just one Success Limiter nor one silver bullet that can fix anyone, let alone everyone. Instead, I've realized there are five core competencies which everyone must develop continually. These are the five drivers of success. None of them are revolutionary, but neither are any of them optional.
Here is the most important principle of this entire book: Your biggest limitation isn't your barrel's capacity, but the shortest Success Stave. That is what is preventing you from realizing your greatest possible success-not just in your career but also in relationships, finances, and personal growth.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that, unlike your total capacity, each of these five drivers of success can be fixed. Maybe you started strong but have stalled out. Maybe you've tried everything and don't know why you can't get ahead. Maybe you're just starting out and you want to chart the best path forward (great for you-that's smart thinking). Whatever the case, addressing these five Success Limiters will allow you to discover and attain your true potential. I promise you, your barrel is bigger than you think.
