How Winston Churchill Helped me in Business
by Binden Shovel

This story is not very inspirational as I am a reasonably successful person from the UK who just happened to improve in my job as a result of advice given to me by Winston Churchill.

Having said that I was inspired to write a book based on Churchill's wisdom...

My story begins when I came across Churchill's memoirs of World War 2 about 5 years ago - roughly 8000 pages of modern print spread across 6 volumes.

As I read through them I noticed that every now and again Churchill would offer advice directly to the reader. And in the 5th volume I was given some advice that really struck a chord with me and a recent business situation of mine.

I decided there and then that I was going to try and capture all of Churchill's advice and pass it on to a modern audience. (It seemed such a shame that it would never see the light of day as these books are over 60 years old.)

I spent 4 years doing research for my book Churchill's Secret Skill's and to ensure the advice was realistic I used examples from my own 25 year business career to highlight wFere Churchill's advice might work and where it wouldn't.

Above all I wanted to make the book entertaining so I filled it with fascinating stories from the war.

Since publishing the book I have discovered that every now and then, when I get into difficulty at work, I think back to what Churchill might have done in the same situation.

And believe it or not, this simple strategy, quite often inspires me to come up with a solution.

Thanks,
Binden
