Book 1 - Hiring: The Secret to a Successful Reputation - Matt Martindale's Book Series - DJ Book SeriesMatt’s seminars

Las Vegas 2002
Topic: "Developing a Training Program"
Books: Hiring: The Secret to a Successful Reputation by J. Matt Martindale

In one power packed workbook, Matt carefully walks you through the steps to successfully find, select then hire staff. Section one is a methodical dissection to help determine what the worth of your personal and professional reputation. So hire wisely! Your employee BECOMES your reputation! In section two appropriately titled Building a Team that Understands the Goal, you’ll methodically walk through the basics of behavioral interviewing, writing interview questions, how to spot specific personality traits, desired characteristics and technical knowledge in a future applicant, and where to find a potential DJ. Lastly, you’ll have to make a selection. Section three helps you do that with a telephone interview, homework with the application and a sample interview script, checking references and developing a candidate rating/ranking system. Wow! This workbook has it all! It’s a very effective resource for the Single Operator who is just beginning to add multiple DJs, the large Multi-Operator seeking to establish and maintain consistency or the Single Operator wanting to remain single, but keep improving.

Accompanying each section in the workbook are the necessary documents to begin the action process. It also includes sample questions, profiles, forms, checklists, and more to provoke your own thought and activity.

Reviews:

    "Finally! A book that spurs the process of creating a surefire hiring and training program and manual for Mobile DJs! Consistency of quality is one of the major components that is lacking in the Mobile DJ Industry today. Matt Martindale carefully leads you through the steps of developing your own program that is unique to your specific company. Every Mobile DJ should own this workbook and use it often!"

Holy Bible : Book - Paperback Awarded 5.0/5.0 of our 5
Honestly, what can I say? This one book has everything you'll ever need to know about business, personal relationships, finances, love, life, etc. It's truly a must read above all books and the only 5 star book that I'll ever give that ranking to! I've personally studied it carefully cover to cover more than once now, so I understand your challenge to live by what it says firsthand - because I too struggle with that. The key, however, is that it's not a list of "do's and don'ts" but rather, commands given out of love to protect us. In fact, many use the words "ethics," " morality" and "integrity" interchangeable in sentences. They are very different! "Ethics" is what you say your sense of right and wrong are (mine happen to come from the Bible). "Morality" is how you live it out, and "integrity" is if these two match up. I personally continue to work on altering of my beliefs and re-aligning them with what God says in the Bible; which effects my conviction, and ultimately, causes me to act with integrity. I am the first to admit I am not perfect, but a work in progress. It is honestly the most significant, influential book I've ever studied or will ever study!

I love this Bible!!! Itís essentially a complete one-year study leading you into what the Bible says about three distinct areas: personal development, leadership skills, and relationships. In the area of personal development, Dr. Sid Buzzell will focus to help you develop personally on topics like: character, commitment, humility, purpose, passion and so much more. In the skills section, heíll bring to life subjects like: accountability, decision making, long range planning, rewards, problem solving, management, stewardship, stress management, team building and much, much more. Lastly, in the relationships section, youíll learn about: encouragement, alliances, power, influence, servant leadership and more. It truly is a comprehensive source that covers everything in leadership, or management from a Biblical perspective. Learn what ~70 characters did right, and what they did wrongÖ (yes, the hardcover is actually cheaper)

Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing His Will : Book - Workbook (224 pages) Awarded 4.5/5.0 of our 5
This workbook, without question has been the most influential workbook I have ever completed. In fact, Iíve gone through some sections of the workbook 2 or 3 times now and has been the most instrumental thing that has helped me grow spiritually. Please note, the first two chapters are really dry, so it may actually take an attempt or two to get through it, but trust me keep going because itís well worth it! This workbook helps to cultivate the value of a personal relationship with God. In fact, God reveals Himself, His purposes, and His ways then He invites you to join Him where He is already at work. We just need to obey. I bought one for a good friend and am glad heís starting to spiritually mature now like I did (and continue to do). Read this book with an open heart, let God minister to you through Blackabyís writings, and I promise you that you'll grow while you obey. Next to the Bible, this is a MUST READ!

Gentle Thunder : Book - Paperback (240 pages) Awarded 4.5/5.0 of our 5
What is the meaning of life? To be all that God has created you to be. God has an innate way of getting our attention, and I can certainly assure you, that His attempt to do so will be uniquely personal to you as well...somehow, someday. Take Jonah (stuck inside a whale), Gideon, and so many more characters in the Bible, all knew that their call was clear, concise, distinct, and Ö.a personal invitation from God. They knew it was of God, and reacted by simply trusting His character, while not necessarily knowing the next logical step. Itís a great book - you wonít be disappointed!

In the Grip of Grace : Book - Hardcover (235 pages) Awarded 4.5/5.0 of our 5
Max methodically explains that nothing can separate us from the love of God - period! Itís about Godís amazing grace, His love for us, and honestly, is best summed up in this borrowed quote: "God doesn't condone our sin, nor does He compromise His standard. Rather than dismiss our sin, He assumes our sin and incredibly, sentences Himself. God is still holy. Sin is still sin. And we are redeemed." This book is the ìwhyî we are so precious to God and would serve as a valuable asset to explaining the basics His grace. Itís also a great resource for explaining the true intimacy of Godís sacrificial love to those that have not chosen to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. His walk through Romans, giving a few key details of Paul, which continue to inscribe in me that regardless of my situation, His grace truly is sufficient, and His love will never end. (and believe me, Iíve had some incredible ìtestsî in my life, but I am happy to report, that He has always been faithful!)

Itís the best, DAILY devotional around! I must confess, I have not yet completed the entire book, but am continually amazed at its content and depth. He has a way of speaking to me from the heart at such a spiritual level that will either completely minister to me in the way I happen to need (oddly enough, that day I need it most) or convict me of some junk I need to clean up. Itís awesome so far!

(176 pages) On Saturday, February 2, 2002, I had the opportunity to hear Tommy Tenney speak in person. I will tell you, heís sincere, serious and for real and his passion is honest. What you read about, IS Tommy Tenney. That being said, this book will completely open your eyes to the spirit world big time; especially if you want to learn more of Him through the help of the Holy Spirit. His story from the very beginning, will suck you in and make you hunger for genuine revival across the land. Every Christian needs to READ this book!

In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do? : Book - Hardcover (416 pages) Awarded 4.0/5.0 of our 5
Seen WWJD plastered everywhere? The question is, can somebody really live by asking the question ìwhat would Jesus do?î before they do anything? It started from a book written by Charles Sheldon called ìIn His Steps.î Itís about having true integrity based on a Biblical love and simply pondering what would Jesus do. Itís a fantastic story of several church members that agree to take that very pledge and ask themselves that in their personal life, in business and every other aspect of their lives. For some, it costs them money, business, relationships, etc. It's a great book of principles for the Christian and non-Christian alike.

Larryís all comprehensive book covers business topics from a Biblical perspective on: hiring and firing decisions, pay increases and promotions, management selections, employee pay decisions, borrowing and/or lending decisions, discounting policies, forming corporations and partnerships, business tithing, retirement and more. Itís A MUST READ BOOK; especially for the new Entrepreneur that wants to run their business on Godís principles! It is full of Biblical truths; some of I didnít even know were in the Bible - but he backs it up with Scripture references. When I got done with the book, I wondered why the rest of the business world does it ìwrong.î Itís a great book, and anyone can benefit from the truths wrapped herein.

Wild At Heart : Book - Hardcover (224 pages) Awarded 4.0/5.0 of our 5
A group of us guys at church accepted the Head Pastorís call at Fatherís Day 2001 - to be ìIron Menî. One of the three required books we were asked to read was ìWild At Heart.î Wow! What a book! As I read through this book, itís easy to catch glimpses of wanting to be a hero, warriorÖultimately to fulfill what we all dreamed as boys; then what happened to that sense of adventure, passion and dream? He methodically laces the entire book with great stories of his children, his own youth, and numerous movies to further develop points. It was a book that I truly COULDN"T PUT DOWN. This is the book to help any man (Christian or non-Christian) to understand what it really means to be a man. If you have sons, be sure to get a copy for them too because I promise, you wonít be disappointed

The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life : Book - Hardcover (96 pages) Awarded 3.5/5.0 of our 5
The prayer of Jabez: "And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, 'Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.' So God granted him what he requested." Sounds simple, but this simple prayer is not a guaranteed formula to get what you ask for from God. His will still prevails, and the Christianís job is to seek, find, then align with the will of God - period. To do and pray how Jesus did, not Jabez. Jesus is the mark. Donít get me wrong, itís a FANTASTIC little book and I continue to give out copies to friends. Just remember to keep the main thing (Jesus), the main thing (Jesus) and seek Him for His sake.

Ordering Your Private World : Book - Paperback (228 pages) Awarded 3.0/5.0 of our 5
I was once a severe "work-a-holic" and passionately sought business success - then it changed. This book is precisely what started to get me on a different track to understanding my own inner, private world with healthy boundaries realigned to what God has planned. He covers "motivation;" "use of time;" "wisdom and knowledge;" "spiritual strength;" and "restoration" in logical flowing "sectors" towards the goal of His order. It is not a "preachy - in your face book," but rather, a simple, easy to follow book. For me, the biggest revelation came from the value in knowing myself...and when I do, I will understand that I can't be all things to all people...and never should be. God is a God of order, and peace, not chaos. If you're busy, make the time to READ this book.

Consumed By Success : Book - Paperback (189 pages) Awarded 2.0/5.0 of our 5
Athena Dean was truly ìconsumed with successî owning her own succesful MLM business and earning a household income of $20,000 every month - then lost everything. She explains why MLMs by nature ìpreyî on Christians, dangling that carrot of more time, and financial independence appealing to the Christianís trusting nature. "Consumed" could easily be: a full time job, sports, anything other than a MLM. A MLM just happens to be where sheís coming from based on her experience. Itís a good book for the Christian wondering if the MLM theyíre in (or want to get into) is really a good fit for God or not - just have an open mind.
