Dr. Bilanich's work focuses on helping individuals, teams, and entire organizations succeed. Bud is Harvard educated, but has a no-nonsense, common sense approach to his work that stretches back to his roots in the steel country of western Pennsylvania.

"Straight Talk for Success" is written by Bud Bilanich, who is also known as "The Common Sense Guy." He definitely has been given the correct title. I found "Straight Talk for Success" to be well-organized and easy-to-understand. The book is arranged in five parts. Each section has its own chapters that give you further advice on the topics presented. All of the information provided is based upon common sense, which makes it easier to apply. After reading the whole book, you will see that the title is perfect.

About a week ago, a friend commented that most of my "gurus" just provide me with information that should be common sense. I totally agree with this, however, sometimes when life gets in the way, we need to have other people lead us back to what makes sense. When events at work become so convoluted it is easy to get lost and feel helpless. Reading "Straight Talk for Success" helped me put a lot of things into perspective. One of the biggest ways it will influence me is in how I deal with situations with other people, especially co-workers; one in particular. Bilanich reminded me to act assertively, keep my integrity, and to learn from the situation.

The biggest feeling that I had when I finished reading "Straight Talk for Success," was excitement. I am looking forward to applying the principles that I learned to my career so that I can get myself out of a slump that I feel myself falling into. I am looking forward to putting these new tools to work, so that I can present myself with confidence and integrity. It feels so good to be excited about doing something well, especially when I know that my career helps others.

I highly recommend this book for people in the work world. It is appropriate for those at every stage of their career. It would make a wonderful gift for a college graduate who is just starting out. I wish I had something like this way back when. It will also be good for people who are in the middle of their career when they feel themselves hitting rough patches. People nearing retirement can still benefit from this book because it will help them finish strong. "Straight Talk for Success" would also be the perfect text for a work retreat.

Bud is generous with his advice, sensitive to the reader's time and highly entertaining. The writing is straightforward and especially helpful for people entering the workforce. This is a must read. I'd highly recommend this book.

Success Television

Bud Bilanich has hit the nail on the head with his new book, Straight Talk for Success - Common Sense Ideas That Won't Let You Down.

Bud has studied the successful for decades and learned firsthand the characteristics they all have in common - and he presents them in this book. And in his typical, easy to read, common sense style, he shows you exactly how you can achieve success too.

Don't let the simplicity of the book fool you - the stories he tells will draw you in, but every one of them present a powerful message. Bud is transparent with his own stories of success and disappointment. This book is 'real' and heart-felt - not to be missed.

Peggy Murrah

This book definitely over delivers on providing answers to all the questions people are afraid or embarrassed to ask. Even for those of us who have been in the business world for a while. As I was reading this book, I recalled my first business dinner meeting and not knowing what to do - this book would have been a tremendous aid. I wish this book was a required reading for anyone entering the business world. Mr. Bilanich does an excellent job of not only providing some great business 101 success tips, but does it way that makes it an enjoyable read by providing lots of great stories. The best way to describe this book is the one and only resource for common sense answers to business basics.

Henry Pellerin

There are many books on the market dealing with how to have a successful business or a successful career, and "Straight Talk for Success" is one of them. HOWEVER, and I stress the "however," there isn't a book as concise, captivating, and poignant as this one.

Bud Bilanich, also known as "The Common Sense Guy" comes from just that - common sense. We often struggle using what if, I shouda, I coulda, and so on. Bud Bilanich gets the reader unstuck in those struggles and gives direction through instilling self-confidence using techniques that work.

Although Bud's intent was to direct this book toward young and mid-career professionals, I believe it covers us all - those just starting out and those that have been in careers for decades. We all will find no-nonsense ideas as well as strategies and techniques we can use to enhance our chosen fields. Highly recommended.

Irene Watson

First of all, I have to say that I am fortunate enough to be friends with both Bud and Cathy Bilanich. They frequently dine at the restaurant in which I am employed. When Bud told me that he was a writer I asked him to bring me some of his work and within a few weeks I had a signed copy of "Straight Talk For Success" fresh off the press! In all honesty I was a little skeptical at first. I'm not big on "self-help" books because to me they are all pretty much the same. If you've read one you've read them all. I could not have been more wrong about "Straight Talk For Success". It was an absolute pleasure to read cover to cover. I like the fact that Bud focuses on "common sense" and "hard work" as a framework for being successful not only in business but also in life. His ideas on Self Confidence, Positive Personal Impact, Outstanding Performance, Communication Skills, and Interpersonal Competence are all great reads. Even better are his ideas on how to be a good and successful person. Things like having empathy, being punctual and just plain being nice are things that people seem to be forgetting these days. Bud Bilanich hasn't. Great Book. I'd recommend this to anyone!

Travis Lester

When Bud Bilanich was growing up, he was always puzzled by the message on the pencils his father brought home from U.S. Steel, "Knowing's Not Enough." Years later, in a philosophy course, Bud read the quotation from Goethe that not only solved the puzzle but has inspired his work ever since, "Knowing is not enough, we must do. Willing is not enough, we must apply." In Straight Talk for Success, Bud provides the essential bridge between knowing and doing for everyone seeking career success. Written in bite-sized pieces of practical advice, his guidance is all the more valuable because it is actionable. Bud Bilanich shows you how. The motivation is up to you. You can start by reading this book!

Joel Marks

I purchased this book since I already have all other books written by Dr. Bud Bilanich. I had high expectations due to my perceived quality of his previous publications - and was not disappointed.

The book offers solid and actionable advice on creating (yes, creating - hard work is involved) your foundation for personal success.

I would recommend this book to anyone willing to put in an effort to grow.

Per Wendelboe Nielson

"Straight Talk for Success" is a great item to hand to a newly minted employee by his or her new boss or a human resources manager. Very little of what it covers is taught by any school and it is a veritable encyclopedia of things that every working professional should know. Hats off to The Common Sense Guy for a resource that fills a gaping hole.

What Bud’s Coaching Clients Say

Bud Bilanich is a coach, role model, and mentor. When a person is able to find a person like this man who really cares and can lead you right where you want to be, it is amazing. He is so honest and caring that creates almost an emotional experience. He is very genuine and can make such a difference in your life, as he has in the lives of many already, including mine.

-Carol Washington - Los Alamos, TX

It’s too bad that everyone can not have a coach, role model, and mentor like Bud Bilanich. Sure he has many worthy credentials but it is more of his common sense approach that makes him so unique and truly worldly. His upbringing likely played a huge role in the man that he turned out to be. I think of all of the young people that have gone adrift and wonder how a man of this magnitude could change their lives. It is not very often in life that we run across someone as genuine and so willing to go the extra mile like Bud Bilanich. He is a great coach, mentor, role model, and a great person.

-Cheryl Hinneberg - Roseville, MI

I found Bud Bilanich to be a well-spoken, talented, and personal individual. I learned a lot from his seminars and enjoyed his book immensely. He believes that we all have what it takes to succeed and he does whatever he needs to do to make us believe that as well.

At first, I was leery about building a business because I was unsure of my sincerity and security. I questioned my knowledge, my reasoning, and my temperament but since reading the works of Bilanich I now feel I am able to face any challenge.

I look forward to attending other seminars hosted by Bud Bilanich and I suggest you do the same. You will be surprised at how easy it is to incorporate his suggestions in to your business plan.

-Deborah Greenough - Palm Bay, FL

Bud Bilanich is an awesome career and life coach. In fact, his name suits him great. His attitude and method of coaching is like having a buddy that comes alongside and provide common sense strategies in business and personal development. The greatest thing about Bud Bilanich is his ability to be easy to work with and truthful without being hurtful or harsh. He always seems to know the right thing to say.

I am confident that he is genuinely interested in my overall success. I know this because he is always willing to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes to encourage and keep me motivated. He remains upbeat, which helps me to remain positive by making me feel that I can do whatever I put my mind to do. He never talks down to me and is very compassionate and caring. I would recommend him to anyone who would like to have a positive, well-respected, common sense mentor for the critical areas of life and occupation.

-Don Rainwater - Sheridan, WY

There is no better mentor than Bud Bilanich!  This caring and compassionate man is simply the best there is!  He’s always willing to help and keeps a positive and upbeat atmosphere about him.  Not only is he just about the most honest and thoughtful guy I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, but he’s got the credentials to back him up and has been in the field for many years.  Mr. Bilanich always pushed for my achievement and took that extra step to be the most inspiring coach and mentor he can possibly be. 

-Faith Eversole - Richmond, IN

I was at a standstill in my business. I did not know what I was going to do to turn it around.  This was until I found Bud Bilanich. He was very honest with me, and helped me to see what I was doing wrong. He listened to my ideas and offered excellent advice putting my needs and interests first. I was very pleased with the way Bud truly cared about my success. He was available anytime I needed him. Bud Bilanich was very easy to work with. Bud was not pushy, and he has a great desire to help people. I would highly recommend his services. His experience and willingness to help is top notch.

-Heather Shockney - Greensboro, PA

If you are looking for a life coach to lead you in the right direction and turn you and your organization into the best it can be, you need to seek the help of Bud Bilanich. Bud is a phenomenal human being who has had years of experience in career and leadership development. His unbiased feedback and thought provoking insight is a must if you are looking to improve any aspect of your entire career. If your business is lacking that certain groove, Bud can fix your problems and take you and your corporation to that next level of professionalism and success.

-Julie Boehlke- Adrian, MI

Bud Bilanich is a man who is very well respected by those who know him.  His common sense approach makes him easy to understand.  He is very easy to work with because of his sense of humor and good nature.  He will never talk down to you no matter how much knowledge he has; he will never make you feel stupid.  I really liked that about him.  He has the compassion to be truthful, not hurtful.  It was amazing the way he could zero in on exactly what I needed help the most. I was glad to find out he was available when I needed him.  When he started working with me I could see he was going the extra mile.  Going above and beyond so to speak.  After working with him he really made me feel I could do it!  Thank you so much!

-Laura Griffen - Orlando, Florida

If you have a problem that you need help addressing, then Bud Bilanich is the man for you. I highly value common sense. If the words sound good, and the idea is grand, but there is no *actual effect*, then quite frankly, I have no use for it. I have found again and again that Bud Bilanich is effective, helpful, relevant, and overflows with common sense. He really cares about me as a client and is genuinely interested in my success. He has a knack for telling the truth about a situation without being painfully blunt. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a coach in their life.

-Laura Ann Ann Patrick - Statesboro, NC

If only Bud Bilanich could be cloned and sent out to every company in the US. There is a reason why he is called “The Common Sense Guy”. With all of the “gurus” and books that rely on gimmicks or the newest fad to increase personal and company growth, Bud uses his wits and his common sense approach first of all to quickly recognize the problem. Next, he can come up with a solution that will work best for you. He doesn’t stop there. He follows through with a step-by-step plan and checks back with you to see how you are doing. He’s like a Bulldog in that he doesn’t quit until you realize your potential. He makes the whole experience enjoyable with his upbeat personality and his humor. It doesn’t take long to realize that his work is not just a paycheck to him – he is genuinely interested in your success and it shows. If only there were a thousand more just like him.

-Leigh Webster - Marana, AZ

If you want to know the 5 attributes of successful people so you can go from Point A to Point B with more confidence and speed, then read this letter carefully…

An important announcement from Bud Bilanich, The Common Sense Guy

Dear Friend,

What is it about the mega-successful people in life?

• Ever drive through one of those luxury neighborhoods and wonder to yourself “what do they have that I don’t have”?
• Ever stop at a traffic light next to a $100,000 sports car and think, “what did that person do to be so successful”?
• Ever open up your morning paper and look at the articles about people who got big promotions, or received prestigious awards and are highly respected and celebrated by their peers?

What is it about these people who enjoy the kind of life success you’re looking for?

Did they merely “win life’s lottery” or is there something more, something they’re doing or thinking on a daily basis? A mindset? A way of living? What is it??!!!

And I’m not just talking about money, because there’s so much more to success than being wealthy.

I’m talking about joy. Personal and professional fulfillment. Peace of mind. Inner happiness. Significant career success. And a conscience that’s as clear as your vision of the future.

Successful people, I mean truly successful people, have all these things.

And the best news is that you can have the same kind of success!

With the right tools and resources, combined with the right spark and that elusive “a-ha” moment, you can start down a path to life success that’s quicker, easier and with far less obstacles and detours than you may be used to.

That’s what my new book, Straight Talk for Success, is all about.

Straight Talk for Success gives you so much advice, so much hard-earned wisdom, you’ll be hard pressed to put it down.

And even when you do put it down, this is one of those books that you can open up, anywhere, any time, to any page, and get something useful and potentially life changing.

Imagine being in a room with someone who’s learned how to be successful the hard way, through trial and error, questionable choices and painful experience.  This person then tells you, step-by-step, how to become successful without the pain that he endured.

That person is me.  Bud Bilanich.  The Common Sense Guy.  I have a unique outlook on business, life, and the business of life that has brought me a great deal of praise, and business, from major companies and famous personalities around the world.
 
I graduated from Harvard and have a refreshing, no-nonsense, common sense approach to my life and my work.

My clients include Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, Abbott Laboratories, PepsiCo, General Motors, Citicorp, JP Morgan Chase, UBS Financial Services, AXA Advisors, AT&T, Pitney Bowes, and The Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

I’ve learned the lessons, felt the pain and made the choices, but through it all I was steadfast and determined to succeed, and succeed I did.

In this book I open up, for the first time ever, about my many stories of both success and disappointment.  I also give you many stories of inspiration and humorous anecdotes that will keep you laughing and thinking as you see ways that each one can be applied to your own situation.

But I don’t just give you ideas.  In Straight Talk for Success you’ll discover a link to a downloadable workbook that you can use to actually apply what you learn!

So if you want to know what successful people have in common, here are the 5 things that we cover in depth:

• Successful people are self confident.
• Successful people have powerful personal impact.
• Successful people are outstanding performers.
• Successful people have excellent communication skills.
• Successful people are interpersonally competent.

The way to really possess these 5 attributes to career and life success is clear-cut, but still so elusive for millions of people.

Every day we’re bombarded by negativity in the media and by the people around us.  It’s no wonder there are so few truly successful people.

That’s why I wanted to write this book.  It’s so comprehensive and jam-packed with useful information on how to succeed in life and work, and addresses these 5 traits of successful people, even providing you with checklists and action items that you can take and run with before you even finish the book.

But that’s just the beginning.  Take a look at the huge Straight Talk for Success Table of Contents:
