'DON'T BE NEEDY BE SUCCEEDY'
The A to Zee of Motivitality©
A Book by L Vaughan Spencer
[as told to Neil Mullarkey]
This book is a hilarious satire on management and personal development with advice on Business Bling, Me-dership, the Alphabet Diet, how to Give Good Meeting and much else besides.
Quote: "I'm a Succeeder in a long line of Succeeders... Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, Tim Henman and Phil Collins - all undoubtedly used my methods." Quote from L Vaughan Spencer (L-Vo as he is known to the hip) Self-Help Guru and Gangsta Motivator
No longer will you be a Success-o-Phobe! 2004 Business Speaker of the Year for Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, L-Vo also came 12th in the Northern Hemisphere Motivator of the Year (Under-40 Middleweight Section). Yet not long ago he had just 19 pence to his name.
As he says, 'Somehow only when you're in the gutter can you really see where the pavement ends'. He turned his life around. So can you.
In "Don't Be Needy, Be Succeedy", The President of the Republic of Success explains the Alphabet Diet, how to rethink your buzzness card, how business can become Buzzness and how to embrace the New Virility - whether you're a man or a lady...
Have you ever been exhorted to 'live the brand'? Or sent to Dartmoor to bungee jump with your Head of IT - all in the cause of team-building?? Or made to parade with your workmates around a Holiday Inn car park singing "We Are The Champions"?
This book is the ultra-observant how-not-to guide, on everything from Rapture Capture (mission statements made hip-hop) to Me-dership and 720-degree feedback. It won't protect you from your boss's urge to make you firewalk or send you to art therapy but laughter is guaranteed. So buy him or her a copy...

'Impresario of many senarios'
We knew, from his earlier works such as What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Infants School, that L-Vo was a man to be reckoned with. But with this new book L-Vo inspires us to declare, loud and proud, "Yes, we can. We can succeed." This is, quite possibly, the only business book you should ever bother reading.".
