FREE EBOOK + ENTER TO WIN A KINDLE FIRE!
WELCOME TO THE PARTY—TWO WEEKS OF FREE!
If you’ve found this site, that means you’ve received the link to an advanced copy of the ebook Resumes Are Dead and What to Do About It (RAD). If you haven’t receive your free copy of RAD, go here before “free” goes away.
Thanks to the thousands of people who previewed this material and to those who provided feedback about how it enriched your life and proved applicable in the real world. The verdict is this: the system works. Plain and simple.
Dubbed “sheer genius” by New York Times bestselling author, Stephen M.R. Covey, RESUMES ARE DEAD is not for the faint of heart. This ebook tackles one of life’s most compelling choices: money or meaning? The ebook and audio are relevant, timely and career-critical. Learn how to design a career that supports your quest for both money and meaning—providing you the freedom to pursue your dreams and live your ideal lifestyle.
This is career development reworked, unconventional and results-driven. Whether you’re retired, in the middle of your career, fresh out of college, or have been hit hard by economic crisis, RESUMES ARE DEAD is chock-full of powerful, raw principles that will help you find your footing, contribute to the world in meaningful ways, and simultaneously create your ideal lifestyle.
The ebook also contains links to NEW educational videos created to expand on the principles taught in the book. A.TON.OF.WORK has gone into these, and they’re awesome.
I also recorded an audio version so you can listen and get inspired on the go! You can watch a short video of me explaining why I wrote the book and listen to a short clip of the audio here.
Spread the love by sharing this link on Facebook, Twitter, email etc! Share with all your friends, family, coworkers etc! But hurry, “free” will all go away soon.

I joined the newsletter and subcribed via email. So that should be 3 entries :) Probably won’t win because I never win any of that stuff but would love a kindle fire.
Ok forgot to mention I had downloaded and just linked in fb and I will try and pin it. So that would make 2 or 3 more entries.
I downloaded the book – thanks!

Great e-book. seriously brilliant. i use to work for a company that taught employer’s how to interview to find the right employee. It is much easier when the employee has already become the right employee.
Loved it. keep more coming. 3 entries
” It is much easier when the employee has already become the right employee.” Brilliant! So true!

FOllowing on Twitter, subscribe to the blog feed, join your newsletter and requested facebook friend and spread the news about your book! I have been following your wife’s blog for a while so i got a chance to read the ebook a while back…. very inspirational! Looking foward to reading your blog
Love the e-book, love the website, love abe’s mug shot (I do, after all, come from the land of lincoln), love the inspiration to do TODAY
hate feeling like one of “those” that never gets past “ood,” trying to assess whether i’m making progress, stuck between “don’t run faster than you are able” and ” magnify”
pondering the practical applications to busy life as “mom,” checking out your wife’s website, who appears to be one amazing mama
looking for updates on fb, newsletter & blog feed
how’s that?
Thanks so much, Amber! And thanks for the insights. Looking forward to keeping in touch and I hope to learn from your experience with all this stuff.
Hey Richie! I just finished reading the book and watching the videos. It is awesome! I’ve signed up for your newsletter, subscribed to your feed, following you on Twitter, and friended you on FB.
I’m sorry to hear about your son. It is inspiring to hear how you guys got through it (and are still getting through it).
Thank you for starting “starting something”. I just got a job in car sales. Any ideas on how to apply social iniatives in that industry and also “serve” people In it?
Hi Tristen,
Wow. Great question, Tristen. Congrats on the new job. Sounds like you’re asking how to combine ideas #4 “Follow TOMS Lead” to be a social innovator and #5 “Replace the word MARKETING” with the word “serving.” Is that right? I’m not a car dealer and I can’t get detailed here. However, let’s assume you have two main customers: 1) the ones that show up at the dealership and 2) the ones that you cultivate outside the dealership. Fair enough?
Customer 1 is a flash-in-the-pan scenario and I’m sure the dealership has all sorts of sales and closing tactics for those, right? I’m not going to get into that here.
Customer 2, however, takes a more entrepreneurial/proactive approach. To drive more people to become Customer 1 (the kind that just show up), you need to focus efforts on Customer 2 (the ones that don’t know they need a car yet). If you, as a salesperson, have a list of people that you’ve “served” OUTSIDE the dealership, you’re more than likely to have them drive INTO the dealership when they’re ready. See where I’m going? That way when Customer 1 comes to the lot, it’s not “flash-in-the-pan” sales techniques. It’s someone you know, someone who trusts you, someone you can sell a car to w/o all the craziness that can go on in a negotiable sales transaction.
The question then becomes: What can you do as an individual to be socially innovative and service-oriented off the lot? How can you be the go-to person when ANYONE in your network thinks of buying a car? When people in your circle of influence think of buying a car, they need to think of you first.
Then, if you really want to make a difference, I’d ask: What socially-innovative service-oriented project can you propose to the key decision makers at the dealership (owner, manager, etc) to work with on with you to get people from off the lot to come to the lot? To do that effectively, you’d need to use idea #6 “Lead Your Employer” (go back and read that part). If you’re successful at employing these strategies, I think you’ll “add congruent value” (as we talk about in the book) to the company, become indispensable and drive sales. Plus, potentially get some great publicity for the company from your project. Be sure to tell the media what you’re doing!
Wish I could be more helpful.
Have fun!

You’re doing it! I think I’m going to be saying to people one day, “I totally know that guy! He was my landlord and teacher at BYUH! Now look at him!” You guys are doing great. Saw your article on LDS Living. I still plan to go to Empire State building and pay the extra to get above the “competition”.
PS – I already had Resumes are Dead, so I didn’t download it. But I sent it to everyone!
I almost forgot!

I signed up for updates on your blog.
Hey Richie,
• I subscribed to your Facebook page,
• I am following you on twitter,
• I subcribed to your newsletter,
• I subscribed to your blog feed
• I posted your splash page link on Facebook and twitter.
I read your ebook and love it! It Is truly inspiring. I find it funny that I am semi-writting you a résumé on what I did and that I will be filtered out by random.org. It feels like applying for a job. I feel that I and others are seeing the requirements to get the kindle fire but we are missing the gorilla. I hope I am not missing the gorilla and that I am paying the extra $15 dollars.
I see that you are rewarding everyone possibilities of obtaining the kindle based upon their efforts of getting to know you and your works, as well as help spread the news of your new book. I believe your efforts would help out those around me so I am not only going to spread the word via technology but by word to my family and friends. Also with your permission I can post your book advertisement to some bulitin boards at my university and pass it by my university’s career services program. I go to Weber State University in Utah. Hopefully this can get me some extra points or some better leverage to getting a Kindle fire. I’ll post you next week on how many friends and family I have told about your new book.
P.s. was that a “teachings of Thomas s. monson” book in the background of your short videos of your ebook?
Hey Richie…
1. Friends on fb.
2. Subscribed on fb.
3. email Newsletter activated.
4. BLog Feed Subscribed.
5. Shared RAD on my fb wall.
6. share The Power Of Starting Something Stupid on my fb wall.
7. Emailed your link to some work colleagues who work as Employment Consultants, i think they could really benefit from your approach, as they are always looking for new ways to help clients get jobs!
Good Luck… I’m Inspired. Now if i can just figure out what my Dream Job would be…! Hmmmm
