But do you know what people really want? They want what theyave
got. Itas a simple formula: You have what you want because your
actions produced your results. Not your words and certainly not
your wants.
In his signature caustic, yet loveable style, Larry dishes out
straight talk on what he calls alifeas messesa and offers up his
advice topped with a dollop of common sense. We all know that
people do stupid things to sabotage their success, and we can all
think of areas in our own lives where we are just plain being
idiots! So here is what Larry is proposing: Recognize where you are
being an idiot and then take action to stop being an idiot. He
takes on business, family, health, being fat, being stupid,
success, money, and more, and tells us step by step what we need to
change. He tells us to take responsibility for our words and our
wants and put them into action.
Why Larry? We have seen him do it as an expert on TV, coaching
people on taking control of their money. We turn to him for
business advice and kick-in-the- pants motivation. But why ask
Larry for advice on things like relationships and parenting? Larry
says the answers to most problems, whether personal or
professional, go hand in hand. What it takes to be a great leader
is what it takes to be a great parent. The principles it takes to
be a good salesperson are the same principles it takes to get along
with others. The principles of personalsuccess are the same
principles of business success and financial success.
This book is a little mirror you can hold up to your life to
reflect back to you your areas of stupidity. A mirror that has a
little action plan taped to the back of it. A little bit of
business. A little bit of personal development. A little finance. A
little parenting. A little health and wellness. And a whopping dose
of common sense!

your kids won't improve until you improve. Good parenting is about
beginning with the end in mind, but most people parent without a
plan. Winget offers step- by-step advice for instilling limits,

Kids Are Your Own Fault" is a rescue plan that spells hope for
raising a generation of productive adults we can feel proud to call
