Deliver The Unexpected – A Chat with Richard Robbins

February 12th, 2013 by Bob Burg

It’s always a joy to interview great leaders, exceptional business builders, and true thought leaders. And, my friend, Richard Robbins, one of North America’s foremost business coaches, qualifies as all three.

He’s just written (with Dan Clements) a great new business parable, Deliver The Unexpected: And 6 Other New Truths For Business Success.

While, of course, the truths themselves are not new, he expertly takes some myths that appear to be truths and adds that little tweak that — if followed — can turn a business from sick to healthy and from successful to stratospheric.

In this discussion, Richard takes us through…

1. The Future Myth
2. The Knowledge Myth
3. The Failure Myth
4. The Abundance Myth
5. The Value Myth
6. The Attraction Myth
7. The Happiness Myth

Enjoy our chat…and prosper!

Which of the myths did you most relate to? What do you see as a logical first step after listening to Richard’s wisdom?

Excellent – Mr. Robbins hit the nail on this one and you Sir, you brought us to the table.
Wisdom reminds us to start with who we are – the rest flows from that.
Thank you Bob – good work!

On Your Team,
