About the Book

Personal success feels good, yet wanting it is not enough. Why doesn't everyone achieve their goals? The people in your life and throughout the world who are successful have a secret advantage that is carefully explained in this book: Successful people consistently make good decisions. A lifetime of good decisions creates happiness, while bad decisions create broken hearts, dead-end careers, bad marriages, lower income, financial ruin, or worse. Many people spend years making bad choices without consciously knowing why or even when they made them. The results are often much less than we desire. It is time for a critical makeover. In The Decision Makeover, Mike Whitaker unlocks a new language of decision making, giving readers greater control over their lives. Readers learn concepts such as "Decision Zones," "Regret Inventory," "Failing Fast," "Goal Grooming," "Prime Goals," and the "Success Formula Waterfall." ?The Decision Makeover is an easily digestible text, with interactive exercises for readers to develop self-awareness for goal-oriented decision making. For young people just beginning to make important life decisions to those who have seen it all and are ready for a "reset," this timeless book is a must-have tool for anyone wanting to achieve the maximum success possible through purposeful decision making.

About the Author :
A lifelong and successful entrepreneur, Mike Whitaker is an expert on personal and professional decision-making, turnarounds, and strategic planning. He is a no-nonsense business coach as well as speaker on topics that involve critical thinking about the future, offering unique perspectives and world-class solutions to help people achieve their goals. Whitaker is the founder of Idea Gateway, a company that specializes in launching new businesses, providing expertise and capital for entrepreneurs. He is also a founder and board member for RevTech, a Dallas-based technology accelerator, and serves as Chairman of Lucas Color Card, a data product manufacturer he founded in 1995. These endeavors put Whitaker on the front lines of what is changing in business, technology, and for the American worker. As part of his desire to offer helpful tools for motivated people, he has launched two new platforms: The Idea Filter(R)--an online idea assessment to help entrepreneurs separate the worthy concepts from the rest--and The Institute for Self Reliance--an online source for American workers who want to take control of their futures and their careers in an uncertain economy. Whitaker received his bachelor's degree in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Kansas and earned his MBA from the Price College of Business at the University of Oklahoma. He is married and has three children who are also on the journey of discovering their passions, goals, and paths toward success. While his passions include family balance, entrepreneurship, and helping people achieve their dreams, Mike eagerly participates in competitive trapshooting as his sport of choice.

Review :
"According to Mike Whitaker, when evaluating where you are and where you want to be, you must realize that outcomes are the result of your choices. While there are many situations over which you have no direct control, there's one thing you can control - your what-do-I-do-now reaction. Here's some advice from Whitaker's "Toolkit" about making decisions: Tool 1. Define your primary goals for career, relationships, lifelong learning, bucket list and retirement. Recognizing that decisions in one area will have an impact on the others, choose "Five Prime Goals" from your list. Tool 2. "There's only one #1." Rank your five in order of importance. Make decisions that support achievement of #1. This will require some trade-offs with the other four. As you make progress, the trade-offs diminish and you'll find that there's a new #1. Tool 3. When it comes to trade-offs, the long-term trumps the short-term. Tool 4. Measure progress. At work, this can be easily achieved by crossing things of your prioritized to-do list. Look back at the end of the workday at all you've done to move you closer to your goal. Taking small steps toward a goal creates an 'I'm doing it' mindset." --Biz Books by Jim Pawlak, syndicated columnist and a member of The National Book Critic's Circle
