As summer comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on how I spent my time. Looking back, I realize that much of it wasn’t directed toward anything particularly productive. It reminded me of how focused I was in 2023, and of several books that played a key role in helping me maintain discipline and clarity during that time. Since then, I’ve discovered a few additional titles that I will be adding to the completed shelf! Some of my favorites: Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins Financially Empowered, Terrance Bacchus Whatever it Takes, Brandon Bornancin 👋 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John C. Maxwell

Aquí tienes 9 libros que te ayudarán a ser un mejor Relacionista Público 👇 (Leerlos te hará diferenciarte de los demás) 3. Cueste lo que cueste (Brandon Bornancin) Inspiración pura para desafiar las probabilidades y construir la vida (y la marca personal) que siempre soñaste.

I didn’t change my job. I changed my identity. A week ago, I never imagined I’d be building apps. Today, I’ve built two. Reading WHATEVER IT TAKES by Brandon Bornancin flipped a switch for me from thinking to executing. No waiting for confidence. No overplanning. Just doing the work. With the constant push and belief from my mentor Pankaj Shrestha, I shipped two ideas into reality using Replit: • Recco — built on the belief that recommendations should carry credibility, not noise • Stelle — designed around clarity, calm, and intention in a chaotic digital world This wasn’t about coding skills. It was about mindset, momentum, and mentorship. When you stop asking “Can I?” and start saying “I will,” things move fast. Grateful for the push. Energized by what’s possible. And just getting started. 🚀

📚 Books I want to read in 2026 Putting this here as a small commitment to myself for this year.. to read with intention and not just in between everything else. Leadership, culture, relationships, perspective, and a broader idea of what “wealth” actually means. Some practical. Some reflective. Some just to slow my brain down. On the list: • The Sheikh CEO - Rashid Al Maktoum • The Culture Code - Daniel Coyle • The Canticle - Janet Rich Edwards • The Secret of Secrets - Dan Brown • Whatever It Takes - Brandon Bornancin • Before the Coffee Gets Cold - Toshikazu Kawaguchi • The 5 Types of Wealth - Sahil Bloom • How to Be an Adult in Relationships - David Richo If you’ve read any of these, tell me which one stayed with you. And if there’s a book you keep coming back to, I’m always adding to the pile. #ReadingList #2026Goals #Leadership #Growth #BooksThatMatter

I picked up the Whatever It Takes Journal by Brandon Bornancin a few days ago—and honestly, I’ve been putting off writing in it. Not because I don’t want to use it… but because it’s that well done and I don't want to write in it and ruin it. Crazi I Know. Every day starts with two quotes—simple, timeless reminders like: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” — Steve Jobs What really impressed me is how practical it is. On one side: Daily goals, tasks, wins, gratitude, lessons learned, and what you’ll do tomorrow. On the other: Activity and discipline—workout, steps, water, sleep, nutrition, reading. Not just did you read, but how long, how many pages, and the takeaway. I read every day, but I’ve never tracked it that intentionally. I will now. You also rate the day (good, great, amazing) and note what to improve. I start using it tomorrow—and I can already tell it’s going to sharpen my focus. Highly recommend it.

Done! Amazing experience. It's been perspective changer. Thx for the recommendation

On a flight rn, been absorbing the hell out If it. Scarcity mindset is a big one for me, always scared of spending money. I'm forcing myself to invest every single month in my own knowledge to just overcome this limiting belief. Been loving it so far. Will lyk when i finish it w my final thoughts.

👀 I’ll be honest. I wasn’t looking for “just another book.” But the moment I opened Whatever It Takes by Brandon Bornancin 👋 I felt it. The energy. The honesty. The push. This isn’t theory. It’s not sugar-coated advice. It’s real stories. Real habits. Real results. Brandon went from broke… To building one of LinkedIn’s top startups. Not because it was easy. But because he decided to do whatever it takes. And that hit me. Because how often do we hold ourselves back… Waiting for perfect timing? Waiting for confidence? Waiting for permission? The truth is….waiting won’t change your life. Action will. 🚀 I’m only a few pages in, and I’m already inspired. I’ll be sharing more lessons as I go. 👉 But let’s start here: What’s ONE thing you’re willing to do “whatever it takes” to achieve this month? Drop it in the comments……I’d love to cheer you on. #WhateverItTakes #GrowthMindset #Books #Leadership

I wanted to personally reach out and say thank you. I've read Whatever It Takes multiple times over the last couple of years, and it's become one of my top go-to books. It's a constant reminder of what it really takes to win, and has made a huge difference in my life and business.

We train, mentor, and push each other to do things the right way, not just the fast way. I'm also still running my own real estate business, so I'm right there in the trenches with them.

HUGE shoutout to the big tech companies here in Raleigh who didn't think I had the right experience to join their team back in 2020. You allowed me to find Seamless.AI that valued what I did bring to the table and break into tech sales. Back to back President's Club years have proven that if I can do it anyone else out there can do it too. Brandon Bornancin's new book "The Ultimate Guide to Breaking Into Tech Sales" helps those that were like me 3 years ago. The link is in the comments for you to check out.

🔥 Brandon Bornancin 🔥 Absolutely well deserved no.1, It is one of the rarest gold mine for those who had already been through exceptional sales challenge's. Book is for knowledge seeker, it has infinite value. More you gauge through your personal experiences .. it returns more value everytime. #Fan

Have you ever read a book and thought - WOW I hope everyone knows about this book? Well I LOVE to read (Thank You Kindle Reader) and I want to share with you what I just finished. "CONFIDENTIAL: Sales Secrets" By 🔥 Brandon Bornancin 🔥 Now, I know what you're thinking - Ugh another book about sales... okay I'm with you. BUT I found this on a list about Sales and Service must reads, and it didn't break the bank on Amazon so I thought I give it a shot - and while I'll read all different styles of books this one lends it self to even those who only have a short attention span (you know who you are - you may not have even made it this far in the post). This book is like mini interview with some the best Sales Gurus out there. Each little chapter tells you about the Sales Superstar before it dives into them basically laying out what they think is the most important tip they can give you about Sales. WHAT??? It was eye opening, educational, and fun to read. Its the first time in a while I pulled out my notebook to TAKE NOTES on a leisure read. The advice was that good. Seriously. I even started creating little mini lessons for my team at work based on what I learned - whether or not they appreciated it - that's on them. But I was inspired by all these amazing viewpoints. Men, Women, some educated in colleges, some at just in the school of hard knocks. Rock stars of the sales industry just telling you all their best stuff - and it was advice that really improved my service, not just my sales! We so often forget that great sales comes from great service - okay maybe not in the case of the guy from Wolf of Wall Street - but most of the people. This got me excited to talk to my next member - to see how I could source out their needs, be a better listener, connect with them on a personal level and build trust - and how that's not always easy - but that I'm certainly not alone. I also love the common theme that failure doesn't mean the end. Sometimes you have to fail to find out what works. Failures are just an opportunities, they make up the tapestry of our own "sales story" - they help us learn, grow and change and sometimes they even help us close the deal. Thank you 🔥 Brandon Bornancin 🔥 You've inspired me in so many ways - I'm off to Amazon to buy another of your books! If you've got a great suggestion for a follow up book I should read - leave a comment - I'd love to hear about it! #learningcontinues #sales #customerservice #readbooks

This is a great, quick and easy read for anyone looking for a boost of motivation going into 2021. Could not recommend Whatever it Takes more. It helped open up new perspectives on relationships and how to win at life.

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021

Got for son & he loved.

Change comes by meeting new people and gaining access to new information. Whatever it takes is a mindset that will get you to the next goal, open more opportunities and build your perspective for this year and many more to come. Brandon is living this out and it's cool to have access to it in this book

I loved every part of this book the little message stop in the beginning to end ! I was hooked !

Fantastic book from start to finish. Life’s not about the ending, it’s about the journey which this book echos time and time again, personally, professionally, and spiritually

If you haven't read any of Brandon's other books - They come highly recommended by top sales professionals and mentors. His newest book, Whatever It Takes is easily my favorite of the bunch. Forget all the other "self-help" books out there - this is the one to have in your library. Read it. Learn it. Live it.

Brandon never disappoints. The 3rd book of his I have had the pleasure of purchasing. It's always good to grow in your role and look for sales tools that will help you consistently hit goals and exceed goals. If you are looking for a good book that will show you an immediate impact in your role...this is your book!!

This book grabbed my attention from the first page let alone the title. If you lack motivation or have self doubt! Read this book and this will be the fuel to get you back going! Great read!

One of the best books on personal development that I’ve ever read, and we’ll worth the investment of time and resources. I intend to re-read this one regularly as well. Two thumbs up, for sure.

I’m excited to see what this book can offer now that I finished it. I found a lot of passages resonated with me as I’m in the d2d industry.

Amazing book not just about business about personal , great book recommend everyone. I already gave my 17 yrs old daughter to read..

Such a great read! Brandon definitely challenges you to be better! It’s such a great push and reminder that you have to do whatever it takes!! No cutting corners, no special treatment, but genuine work! Perfect read post pandemic, it will jump start you back into purpose!

At first, I thought, "I’ve heard all this already," but he puts his personal tweak on what I knew already to both remind and to supercharge the idea. For example, how he handles vacations (I also start to fidget after 3 days) and extra money (he recommends having “No extra money) pages 206-208 were interesting and helpful to me.

Loved this book! I blew through it pretty quickly, motivates me as a salesperson. Brandon’s backstory was inspiring to read about how he became the man he is today. Never let your past define your future! Get this book!

If you work in sales or business development this is a must-have book to have in your tool belt.

This was a great read and motivating at the same time. It goes to show that those who are relentless and determined can reach their goals. Whatever It Takes can mean so many different things but at the end of the day you have to figure out Whatever It Takes for you to reach your goals. As a sales professional myself this gave me an extra kick in the shorts. #LFG

Brandon does an excellent job of providing an no frills guide to the basics of holistic success in a career of sales or entrepreneurship. Love how he paints the entire picture of how the combination of your life decisions dictates success and that it is a commitment to excellence that can be completely rewarding and full of joy. Took so much from this book that will be momentum for ‘21! Thanks, Brandon!

Brandon and his company provide exceptional content on a daily basis and as one of the early users of seamless.so I can say it has provided me with the speed to close large company deals by getting directly to the decision maker. In the book he covers many mindset and routine options that have helped shape his sales approach and he shares his insights on the journey that brought him to this point.

This piece by Brandon is great for many reasons. I'm an avid follower of his, and I respect his approach to sales immensely. It's clear that he takes his profession incredibly seriously (as do most), but the difference is the attitude. It's infectious. Whatever it takes is what he and his team live by, and it makes sense that his company is blowing up the way that it is. A real familial culture that isn't common in sales.

I have been applying many strategies in this book and found many of them helpful in my job as a manager. Definitely, the right option if you are looking for a motivational book to help you reach your goals.

This book had some great motivation to getting your mindset right. There were several successful tips that can be used to advance your sales career but also your life in general. A main takeaway was that you must invest in the people in your life that have been there before and are there for you.

If I was a writer this is the book I would have liked to write. It almost makes me want to become a salesman. Brandon has done such a great job capturing the skills necessary to succeed in life and organized them in an easy to follow recipe. The examples are well placed and if you have heard him speak, you can hear his voice in his words. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to take that next step in their progression in life.

This book is a must read for anyone who has decided and committed to go to the next level. Keep this book with you at all times and implement, implement, implement the habits, principles, and mindset to reach your GOLD. Yes, you will reach your goal but you'll also get your gold too! When you invest in yourself, you'll reap the benefits in all areas of your life. This is a new favorite book for sure.

This all makes sense. It’s a teaching and motivational book. Would recommend it for sure. Thanks for your time and effort to give us this book.

This book is written for others to reach their maximum potential no matter the obstacles life throws at them, and this book was written by someone who personally overcame these adversities, refused to give in or give up and turned problems into opportunities for solutions. Very positive outlook. Great read, 10/10 recommend to anyone that’s willing to push themselves to the next level.

Check this one out if you have some time to learn about habits that help you along the way of your journey to anything you are trying to achieve. It helped me organize my day step by step in my head the night before.

This book isn’t a tome or a boring read. It’s the truth that is needed to wake that couch potato planted in your personal space. GET UP Now! Or be fried and served with some poor fish. I highly recommend this “slap in the face” to anyone who wants to start living again. ED Griswold (aka Zedwaldo)

I think is the first author that I read who put all the messages in the shortest book posible. Very great job by publish this treasure. It really makes me wonder about my habits, discipline, job and life path. Hope this can be publish in Spanish soon to help Brandon spread the message!

Regardless if you’re in sales or not, read this book and it’ll change you for the better.
