Excellent, practical advice and wisdom-based counsel from someone who has been both in the trenches and at the peak. The perfect graduation and career kick-off gift. |

Bill White's book should be required reading for anyone starting a career, and a must-read for anyone after they have started their career. |

Benjamin Franklin, the patron saint of self-improvement books, coined the maxim 'doing well by doing good' in his Poor Richard's Almanack. Now, in this wonderfully readable book, Bill White shows, step by step, how you can indeed truly do well in your career by doing good in this world. |

From Day One is not a book of pie-in-the-sky platitudes. This is reality-based, advice-tested, tempered, and proven by life experience - a 'toolbox' that will provide young professionals with the fundamental habits for career success. It's must reading for anyone who aspires to career success in business, industry, education, or government. |

If you are a young person who believes in the future, who believes in personal growth, and who has the humility to learn, this book is for you. |

Fortunate is the young professional - or old professional, for that matter - who heeds this advice. From Day One defines success at a much higher level; it empowers and implores people to choose the natural high road and let success follow. It is also filled with practical tips, not an idealist or moralist dream but a meat and potatoes success story! |

Okay Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, aunts and uncles. If you have someone in college get them this book. Why, because it has everything they need to make it in the "real world."
This straightforward, tell it like it is, approach from someone who has been there and had a successful career, should not only be read but memorized. Since we are experiencing such a me-me-me corporate behavior, it is such a relief to hear someone say that one of the elements of success is to listen and to give without thinking of what you are getting in return. (I am sure this has Donald Trump's coif in a tizzy!) That it is about your contribution and not your salary that will develop your career and make you successful.
It's about time we listened to someone who knows the way to succeed that doesn't involve having bloody bodies littering their ladder to success!
This is a "get real" book and I for one, hope students, our leaders of tomorrow, read it--immediately. |

From Day One is a great read for those who are looking to learn the ropes of corporate life from a seasoned professional. I was a student of Prof. White at Northwestern. The tone of the book reads very much as he teaches his class: instructive, personable and populated with fascinating antidotes from his experiences.
The most important thing I learned from the book is to do as much for others as you can and build out your personal network. In the beginning stages of your career you will have much to learn and not much to offer. However, by spending the extra time to make the lives of those around you easier, you will be noticed and appreciated. The hard work that you do up front will pay dividends down the road.
Highly recommended!
