New Book Shares Greatest Generation Career Advice

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Would you take advice from a guy who launched his own business with no money, little experience, and only a high school diploma? How about from a man who has closed thousands of deals during a 65-year business career? Meet Jack Nadel, who has made tens of millions of dollars by capitalizing on opportunities that he sees everywhere. As the founder and owner of Jack Nadel International, a premier sales and advertising promotions firm that specializes in premiums, he prides himself for being a deal-making, entrepreneurial opportunist.

His newest book, Use What You Have To Get What You Want; 100 Basic Ideas That Mean Business,. reveals:

• What the downsized, the entrepreneurs, and those in career transition can do to take control of their financial fate – and use what they have to get what they want.
• How to sell overseas, from a man who has done deals in over 50 countries, and was part of President Reagan's trade mission to Japan in the 1980s.
• How to negotiate the art of the deal.
• Key steps small businesses must take to grow.

"The biggest problem in the world today is that tens of millions of people are out of work, underemployed, and underpaid," notes Jack. "If you can absorb the ideas in my book and put them into operation, success is in your grasp. You now have the ability to retool your mind so that all the knowledge and skills residing in you can be put to work. The purpose of these 100 basic ideas that mean business is to achieve power from within that becomes a part of who we are. We can no longer depend on outside forces to give us a better standard of living. Regardless of the economic news, the action of government, or the natural forces that oppose us, we must build within ourselves the capability to survive, prosper, and feel good."

He believes that the rules keep changing and we must constantly reinvent ourselves. He highlights many wins, but also reveals setbacks, losses, and mistakes he has made. He instructively shares consolidated wisdom and does so with a witty tongue. For example, when discussing how to view opportunities and negotiations, he writes: "Deals are like buses. There is always one behind the one you just missed."
