Do you wonder what it really takes to be successful in business?

 

Do you crave serious answers, as opposed to the tired old suggestions offered by so many mainstream management books?

 

Do you long for real-world advice and guidance that will set you up for long-term success?

 

What if these things can be found in an unlikely place — your very own imagination?

 

Maybe the answers you seek aren't so serious after all. Perhaps the real world isn't as relevant as you thought.

 

Join Dr. Guff Meister, I.S.G, President and CEO of the pseudo-bona fide corporation Crock, Inc., on an irreverent (and occasionally accurate) exploration of the components required for success in business… a journey that traverses the void from reality to imagination.

 

Be warned: many of the fake Doctor's views may run askew to reality. His advice — though thought-provoking — might, at times, be less than veracious.

His arguments against conventional wisdom walk a fine line between convincing and ludicrous.

 

In saying that, his hare-brained guidance will still provoke consideration and his entire concept provides fuel for the imagination… and a catalyst for success beyond it.

About the author

Ryan Guffey

“Visualization and ingenuity are the cornerstones of Guffey’s debut, aimed at helping readers transform their inner selves into business leaders in an engaging way…his originality makes this an entertaining read.” ~BookLife
​​​​​​​

Dr. Guff Meister is imaginary, and he knows it.
​​​​​​​
In fact, he claims his make-believe nature gives him a position of authority, a unique perspective, one that isn’t bound by the constraints of reality. Meister encourages readers to create their own version of himself, a stand-in, unrestricted by past experiences, pre-dispositions, or social pressures.
​​​​​​​
As the fake doctor lays out his framework for business success, he demonstrates how this stand-in can bridge gaps in the abilities of the reader, allowing them to excel where they may have fallen short on their own.
​​​​​​​
Dr. Guff’s ideas may seem implausible at times, even delusional ─ a possible side effect of his pretend status ─ but within the implausibility is humor, within the delusion is entertainment, and underneath it all is inspiration. Imaginative, open-minded readers may find the advice thought-provoking and applicable in their own pursuits.
​​​​​​​
The Stool: Building a Platform for Business Success Beyond Your Imagination promotes the development of aspiring businesspeople and enables established executives and entrepreneurs to re-examine the foundations of their success.
This original take on business fiction removes the limitations of what is and focusses on the possibilities of what can be, making it a smart investment for those who seek career advancement and those looking to escape the norm.
