________________________________________________________

"Straight Talk for Success" is written by Bud Bilanich, who is also
known as "The Common Sense Guy." He definitely has been given the
correct title. I found "Straight Talk for Success" to be well-organized
and easy-to-understand. The book is arranged in five parts. Each
section has its own chapters that give you further advice on the topics
presented. All of the information provided is based upon common sense,
which makes it easier to apply. After reading the whole book, you will
see that the title is perfect.

About a week ago, a friend commented that most of my "gurus" just
provide me with information that should be common sense. I totally
agree with this, however, sometimes when life gets in the way, we need
to have other people lead us back to what makes sense. When events at
work become so convoluted it is easy to get lost and feel helpless.
Reading "Straight Talk for Success" helped me put a lot of things into
perspective. One of the biggest ways it will influence me is in how I
deal with situations with other people, especially co-workers; one in
particular. Bilanich reminded me to act assertively, keep my integrity,
and to learn from the situation.

The biggest feeling that I had when I finished reading "Straight Talk
for Success," was excitement. I am looking forward to applying the
principles that I learned to my career so that I can get myself out of
a slump that I feel myself falling into. I am looking forward to
putting these new tools to work, so that I can present myself with
confidence and integrity. It feels so good to be excited about doing
something well, especially when I know that my career helps others.

I highly recommend this book for people in the work world. It is
appropriate for those at every stage of their career. It would make a
wonderful gift for a college graduate who is just starting out. I wish
I had something like this way back when. It will also be good for
people who are in the middle of their career when they feel themselves
hitting rough patches. People nearing retirement can still benefit from
this book because it will help them finish strong. "Straight Talk for
Success" would also be the perfect text for a work retreat.

Bud is generous with his advice, sensitive to the reader's time and
highly entertaining. The writing is straightforward and especially
helpful for people entering the workforce. This is a must read. I'd
highly recommend this book.

Bud Bilanich has hit the nail on the head with his new book, Straight
Talk for Success - Common Sense Ideas That Won't Let You Down.

Bud has studied the successful for decades and learned firsthand the
characteristics they all have in common - and he presents them in this
book. And in his typical, easy to read, common sense style, he shows
you exactly how you can achieve success too.

Don't let the simplicity of the book fool you - the stories he tells
will draw you in, but every one of them present a powerful message. Bud
is transparent with his own stories of success and disappointment. This
book is 'real' and heart-felt - not to be missed.

Peggy Murrah

This book definitely over delivers on providing answers to all the
questions people are afraid or embarrassed to ask. Even for those of us
who have been in the business world for a while. As I was reading this
book, I recalled my first business dinner meeting and not knowing what
to do - this book would have been a tremendous aid. I wish this book
was a required reading for anyone entering the business world. Mr.
Bilanich does an excellent job of not only providing some great
business 101 success tips, but does it way that makes it an enjoyable
read by providing lots of great stories. The best way to describe this
book is the one and only resource for common sense answers to business
basics.

There are many books on the market dealing with how to have a
successful business or a successful career, and "Straight Talk for
Success" is one of them. HOWEVER, and I stress the "however," there
isn't a book as concise, captivating, and poignant as this one.

Bud Bilanich, also known as "The Common Sense Guy" comes from just that
- common sense. We often struggle using what if, I shouda, I coulda,
and so on. Bud Bilanich gets the reader unstuck in those struggles and
gives direction through instilling self-confidence using techniques
that work.

Although Bud's intent was to direct this book toward young and
mid-career professionals, I believe it covers us all - those just
starting out and those that have been in careers for decades. We all
will find no-nonsense ideas as well as strategies and techniques we can
use to enhance our chosen fields. Highly recommended.

First of all, I have to say that I am fortunate enough to be friends
with both Bud and Cathy Bilanich. They frequently dine at the
restaurant in which I am employed. When Bud told me that he was a
writer I asked him to bring me some of his work and within a few weeks
I had a signed copy of "Straight Talk For Success" fresh off the press!
In all honesty I was a little skeptical at first. I'm not big on
"self-help" books because to me they are all pretty much the same. If
you've read one you've read them all. I could not have been more wrong
about "Straight Talk For Success". It was an absolute pleasure to read
cover to cover. I like the fact that Bud focuses on "common sense" and
"hard work" as a framework for being successful not only in business
but also in life. His ideas on Self Confidence, Positive Personal
Impact, Outstanding Performance, Communication Skills, and
Interpersonal Competence are all great reads. Even better are his ideas
on how to be a good and successful person. Things like having empathy,
being punctual and just plain being nice are things that people seem to
be forgetting these days. Bud Bilanich hasn't. Great Book. I'd
recommend this to anyone!

When Bud Bilanich was growing up, he was always puzzled by the message
on the pencils his father brought home from U.S. Steel, "Knowing's Not
Enough." Years later, in a philosophy course, Bud read the quotation
from Goethe that not only solved the puzzle but has inspired his work
ever since, "Knowing is not enough, we must do. Willing is not enough,
we must apply." In Straight Talk for Success, Bud provides the
essential bridge between knowing and doing for everyone seeking career
success. Written in bite-sized pieces of practical advice, his guidance
is all the more valuable because it is actionable. Bud Bilanich shows
you how. The motivation is up to you. You can start by reading this
book!

I purchased this book since I already have all other books written by
Dr. Bud Bilanich. I had high expectations due to my perceived quality
of his previous publications - and was not disappointed.

The book offers solid and actionable advice on creating (yes, creating
- hard work is involved) your foundation for personal success.

I would recommend this book to anyone willing to put in an effort to
grow.

Per Wendelboe Nielson
________________________________________________________

"Straight Talk for Success" is a great item to hand to a newly minted
employee by his or her new boss or a human resources manager. Very
little of what it covers is taught by any school and it is a veritable
encyclopedia of things that every working professional should know.
Hats off to The Common Sense Guy for a resource that fills a gaping
hole.

What Bud's Coaching Clients Say

Bud Bilanich is a coach, role model, and mentor. When a person is able
to find a person like this man who really cares and can lead you right
where you want to be, it is amazing. He is so honest and caring that
creates almost an emotional experience. He is very genuine and can make
such a difference in your life, as he has in the lives of many already,
including mine.
-Carol Washington - Los Alamos, TX
________________________________________________________

It's too bad that everyone can not have a coach, role model, and mentor
like Bud Bilanich. Sure he has many worthy credentials but it is more
of his common sense approach that makes him so unique and truly
worldly. His upbringing likely played a huge role in the man that he
turned out to be. I think of all of the young people that have gone
adrift and wonder how a man of this magnitude could change their lives.
It is not very often in life that we run across someone as genuine and
so willing to go the extra mile like Bud Bilanich. He is a great coach,
mentor, role model, and a great person.
-Cheryl Hinneberg - Roseville, MI
________________________________________________________

I found Bud Bilanich to be a well-spoken, talented, and personal
individual. I learned a lot from his seminars and enjoyed his book
immensely. He believes that we all have what it takes to succeed and he
does whatever he needs to do to make us believe that as well.

At first, I was leery about building a business because I was unsure of
my sincerity and security. I questioned my knowledge, my reasoning, and
my temperament but since reading the works of Bilanich I now feel I am
able to face any challenge.

I look forward to attending other seminars hosted by Bud Bilanich and I
suggest you do the same. You will be surprised at how easy it is to
incorporate his suggestions in to your business plan.
-Deborah Greenough - Palm Bay, FL

coach and mentor he can possibly be.
-Faith Eversole - Richmond, IN

listened to my ideas and offered excellent advice putting my needs and
interests first. I was very pleased with the way Bud truly cared about
my success. He was available anytime I needed him. Bud Bilanich was

The ability Bud Bilanich has to inspire you both personally and
professionally is astonishing. He is probably one of the most positive,
upbeat individuals I have come across in all of the workshops and
seminars I have attended in my career. He has a way of making you feel
great about yourself. Everyone should attempt to attends one of his
workshops and if at the very least, read his book.

________________________________________________________

Bud Bilanich is a man who is very well respected by those who know
him. His common sense approach makes him easy to understand. He is
very easy to work with because of his sense of humor and good nature.
He will never talk down to you no matter how much knowledge he has; he
will never make you feel stupid. I really liked that about him. He
has the compassion to be truthful, not hurtful. It was amazing the way
he could zero in on exactly what I needed help the most. I was glad to
find out he was available when I needed him. When he started working
with me I could see he was going the extra mile. Going above and
beyond so to speak. After working with him he really made me feel I
could do it! Thank you so much!
-Laura Griffen - Orlando, Florida
________________________________________________________

If you have a problem that you need help addressing, then Bud Bilanich
is the man for you. I highly value common sense. If the words sound
good, and the idea is grand, but there is no *actual effect*, then
quite frankly, I have no use for it. I have found again and again that
Bud Bilanich is effective, helpful, relevant, and overflows with common
sense. He really cares about me as a client and is genuinely interested
in my success. He has a knack for telling the truth about a situation
without being painfully blunt. I would highly recommend him to anyone
needing a coach in their life.

-Laura Ann Ann Patrick - Statesboro, NC

If only Bud Bilanich could be cloned and sent out to every company in
the US. There is a reason why he is called "The Common Sense Guy". With
all of the "gurus" and books that rely on gimmicks or the newest fad to
increase personal and company growth, Bud uses his wits and his common
sense approach first of all to quickly recognize the problem. Next, he
can come up with a solution that will work best for you. He doesn't
stop there. He follows through with a step-by-step plan and checks back
with you to see how you are doing. He's like a Bulldog in that he
doesn't quit until you realize your potential. He makes the whole
experience enjoyable with his upbeat personality and his humor. It
doesn't take long to realize that his work is not just a paycheck to
him - he is genuinely interested in your success and it shows. If only
there were a thousand more just like him.
-Leigh Webster - Marana, AZ

from Point A to Point B with more confidence and speed, then read this
letter carefully...

An important announcement from Bud Bilanich, The Common Sense Guy

Dear Friend,

What is it about the mega-successful people in life? straight talk for
success
* Ever drive through one of those luxury neighborhoods and wonder to
yourself "what do they have that I don't have"?
* Ever stop at a traffic light next to a $100,000 sports car and
think, "what did that person do to be so successful"?
* Ever open up your morning paper and look at the articles about
people who got big promotions, or received prestigious awards and
are highly respected and celebrated by their peers?

What is it about these people who enjoy the kind of life success you're
looking for?

Did they merely "win life's lottery" or is there something more,
something they're doing or thinking on a daily basis? A mindset? A way
of living? What is it??!!!

And I'm not just talking about money, because there's so much more to
success than being wealthy.

I'm talking about joy. Personal and professional fulfillment. Peace of
mind. Inner happiness. Significant career success. And a conscience
that's as clear as your vision of the future.

Successful people, I mean truly successful people, have all these
things.

And the best news is that you can have the same kind of success!

With the right tools and resources, combined with the right spark and
that elusive "a-ha" moment, you can start down a path to life success
that's quicker, easier and with far less obstacles and detours than you
may be used to.

-

That's what my new book, Straight Talk for Success, is all about.

Straight Talk for Success gives you so much advice, so much hard-earned
wisdom, you'll be hard pressed to put it down.

And even when you do put it down, this is one of those books that you
can open up, anywhere, any time, to any page, and get something useful
and potentially life changing.


Bud, your advice and "common sense" is a welcome change from the usual
standard of today's thinking. I have been trying to implement as many
things as possible that you regularly blog about because it just makes
sense.

I can't tell you how glad I am that I have found this site and that I
am able to tap into the insight that you hand out day after day.

You have helped inspire me to be great, in every aspect of my life. I
know it won't come easy, I know it may not come quickly enough, but the
journey is worth it.

Sincerely,
Steve Wagner



Dear Mr. Bilanich:

Thank you so much for the signed copy of your book Straight Talk for
Success. I just completed reading it and found the points and ideas
incredibly helpful and inspiring. Especially for a recent, naïve
college graduate entering the business world like myself.

I am currently working for the Denver Nuggets where my daily duties
consist of making over 100 calls to local businesses about the idea of
purchasing season tickets. To say the least, it gets repetitive and
frustrating - not just being told not, being told no in a crude and
unfriendly way 98% of the day.

Your book taught me that staying optimistic and positive will
eventually return greater results. And I have absolutely seen great
evidence of this compare to my colleagues.

Thanks again, Mr. Bilanich. Your wisdom and common sense have paved
the way for my success in the business world.

Ryan Horsley


Imagine being in a room with someone who's learned how to be successful
the hard way, through trial and error, questionable choices and painful
experience. This person then tells you, step-by-step, how to become
successful without the pain that he endured.

That person is me. Bud Bilanich. The Common Sense Guy. I have a
unique outlook on business, life, and the business of life that has
brought me a great deal of praise, and business, from major companies
and famous personalities around the world.

I graduated from Harvard and have a refreshing, no-nonsense, common
sense approach to my life and my work.

My clients include Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, Abbott Laboratories,
PepsiCo, General Motors, Citicorp, JP Morgan Chase, UBS Financial
Services, AXA Advisors, AT&T, Pitney Bowes, and The Boys and Girls
Clubs of America.

I've learned the lessons, felt the pain and made the choices, but
through it all I was steadfast and determined to succeed, and succeed I
did.

In this book I open up, for the first time ever, about my many stories
of both success and disappointment. I also give you many stories of
inspiration and humorous anecdotes that will keep you laughing and
thinking as you see ways that each one can be applied to your own
situation.

But I don't just give you ideas. In Straight Talk for Success you'll
discover a link to a downloadable workbook that you can use to actually
apply what you learn!

So if you want to know what successful people have in common, here are
the 5 things that we cover in depth:
* Successful people are self confident.
* Successful people have powerful personal impact.
* Successful people are outstanding performers.
* Successful people have excellent communication skills.
* Successful people are interpersonally competent.

The way to really possess these 5 attributes to career and life success
is clear-cut, but still so elusive for millions of people.

Every day we're bombarded by negativity in the media and by the people
around us. It's no wonder there are so few truly successful people.

That's why I wanted to write this book. It's so comprehensive and
jam-packed with useful information on how to succeed in life and work,
and addresses these 5 traits of successful people, even providing you
with checklists and action items that you can take and run with before
you even finish the book.

talk!

"Bud also gives the "doers" among us advice in the form of bullet
points: eye-candy for those constantly wanting to improve but
starved for time. He covers practically any facet of success you'd

personal character traits - confidence building, serving others and
so much more.

become a career and life success; especially engineers. All too
often, we make the mistake of thinking that professional competence
and high performance are all it takes to succeed. Bud Bilanich's
book shows us that there's more to it than that. I'm going to buy a
copy for all of the young professionals in my office."

Cecil Windsor, Senior Vice President, Gamma Construction

"Bud Bilanich IS the Common Sense Guy! Reading Bud's work sparks

not so common. Bilanich provides a simple and sustainable roadmap
for building a successful career."
