_“This book changed my life. This book really serves as a wakeup
call to anyone that works for a living. It focuses you on the fact
that you and only you are responsible for your own success. __You
can’t help but read the book and_ _constantly say “Wow, I can’t
believe I used to think that way”. This is truly one of the
reference books of my life. I refer to it whenever I’m feeling

“DEFY MEDIOCRITY. CHOOSE TO BE UNCOMMON. THINK OF THE
ALTERNATIVE.”
IS AVAILABLE AS A 5 CD AUDIO BOOK EXCLUSIVELY ON THIS WEBSITE.
Hello this is Derrick Welch.
Please let me ask you a few questions.
Do you ever lay awake at night wondering if you will have a job next
week?
Are you worried about your future?
Do you ever ask yourself why you don’t have the level of success
you feel you should or could in your life and on the job?
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to face your family and
friends after being laid off?
Would you like to stop worrying about layoffs and start thinking
about promotions?
Would you like to start moving forward in your career and begin to
reach the goals you know you are capable of reaching but simply have
never been able to?
Do you believe that job security simply does not exist anymore?
Do you feel that if you continue doing things in your life and on the
job the way you have always done them that you will continue to get
the same results you have always gotten?
If you are like most of us I am sure you answered yes to most, if not
all, of these questions.
_"The invaluable advice in your book has changed my life during the
last few months and gave me a vision to know how to plan and manage my
life and my future. Thank you Derrick you are a mentor in my life."
BRYCE JEON SEOUL, KOREA_
This is exactly why I wrote _“DEFY MEDIOCRITY. CHOOSE TO BE
UNCOMMON. THINK OF THE ALTERNATIVE.”_. This book was written
specifically to help give you the tools you need to become the best
you can in your career and in life.
This is a book about defying mediocrity. It is a book about
conquering the dozens of self-defeating traits so many of us have that
hold us back in our careers and our lives and prevents us from doing
all we are capable of doing and of becoming.
THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT THE PURSUIT OF INDIVIDUAL EXCELLENCE!
_"I think you have created another Masterpiece"PAT GARUFI_
Mediocrity manifests itself in many ways. It cannot simply be turned
on and off.
IT IS A SILENT KILLER OF CAREERS AND DREAMS.
I can guarantee you your self-defeating traits are holding you back
on the job and in your life!
They are self-inflicted road blocks you are putting in front of
yourself.
Road blocks that will stop you from ever reaching the professional
and personal heights you could and should reach.
_“DEFY MEDIOCRITY. CHOOSE TO BE UNCOMMON. THINK OF THE
ALTERNATIVE.”_ will show you how to eliminate these road blocks and
how easy it is to become the best you can be.
_"I was given a copy of (Defy Mediocrity) by my division retail
manager and asked to read it. It lit me on fire. I have read through
it four times and referred to it many more times. I think about
something in the book every day because not only do the things you
write about pertain to the business world but also to the family and
the values we can try to instill in our children. If anyone reads this
book and can't see that Mediocrity is surrounding us and trying to get
its hold on us they obviously can't be too concerned about improving
themselves. Thank you for the opportunity to be enlightened by your
book."CAMERON RYAN, MANAGER - ECONO FOODS_

WHETHER YOU ARE STARTING THE FIRST DAY OF YOUR FIRST JOB OR WHETHER
YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE WORK FORCE FOR MOST OF YOUR LIFE, THIS BOOK WILL
GIVE YOU THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO DEFY MEDIOCRITY AND REACH YOUR TRUE
POTENTIAL ON THE JOB AND IN LIFE.
Where you are and where you have been is not the issue. Where you
want to go and who you want to become is.
Once you take the simple steps required to defeat mediocrity
on-the-job, your attitude, commitment, and quest for constant
improvement will carry over to every area of your life.
It really is this simple! This book will show you how.
_"Your book was written for me. I have read many books in law school
and business school. However I have never read a book like yours. I
think this book should be mandatory in all_
_ business schools. It is a book for everyone that desires to improve
their career as well as their life in general._
_ This is a fabulous book! I have read it numerous times and now have
heard it on CD for the 3rd time. I needed to read a book like yours
and learn to apply it in my life. Thank you for that lesson. I am
going to require that all my employees read it."GEORGE HONG, PRESIDENT
HJC AMERICA_
Let me also point out what this book is not about. It is not about
the power of positive thinking.
It is not about self-visualization. It is not about corporate
politics and how to play the game to get ahead.
It is not about processes. It is not about re-engineering your
career. It is not about paradigms. It contains no theory or idealism.
I will leave this type of motivational writing to others.
_"You may not like reading some of the things in this book, but you
will love what the application of this information will do for your
career."KATHERINE DEMETRIADES, ART DIRECTOR_
IT IS A BLUNT, HARD-HITTING, NO NONSENSE GUIDE WRITTEN TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE WHAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU DO IT.
It is about reality. The reality of improving your job stability, of
rapidly moving ahead in your career, of improving your life, and of
reaching the potential you have within you.
SPEAKING AS AN EMPLOYER, AN EMPLOYEE, A CO-WORKER, AND A CUSTOMER, I
CAN SAY WITHOUT HESITATION THAT MEDIOCRITY SURROUNDS US. IT HAS BECOME
AN EPIDEMIC. IT IS A DISEASE THAT IS DESTROYING THE ABILITY OF EVERY
COMPANY IN THIS COUNTRY TO BE COMPETITIVE.
IT IS A CONDITION THAT IS PREVENTING SO VERY MANY FROM EVER
SCRATCHING THE SURFACE OF WHO AND WHAT THEY CAN BECOME AND ACCOMPLISH.
It knows no discrimination.
It can affect every one of us if we do not fight against it every
day. It can hurt our careers and our life.
It limits our potential. It holds us back.
It is keeping you down. It is holding you back. It is stopping you
from even beginning to approach the potential you have within you.
Think about this. The average person's IQ is around 100. An IQ of
over 160 qualifies you as a genius.
Imagine that. A genius is only 60% smarter, according to the experts,
than the average person. In other words, if you can read this a
genius could not possibly be even twice as smart as you are.
So how can so many accomplish so much more than others? The simple
answer can be found in this book.

_"I think everyone in business should be required to read "DEFY
MEDIOCRITY". Mr. Welch, we at Southern Office Supply, Inc. believe
your book points a finger at each employee here including myself.
Anybody and everybody can get some excellent insights about themselves
and their fellow employees by reading your book.We are going to add
"DEFY MEDIOCRITY" to our required reading list. Again, we think your
book is an excellent tool to rebuild, rejuvenate, reiterate, what
modern day business is all about. Thank you for your insight into the
business world and how important continued and improved productivity
can be even to a small business."ANTHONY MCKEE, PRESIDENT, SOUTHERN
OFFICE SUPPLY, INC._ If you are a business owner or manager how much
money are your employees costing you? "_Defy Mediocrity: Chose to be
uncommon. Think of the Alternative_" will provide the wakeup call your
employees need.
Your employees are perhaps your most important asset. If you are like
most companies, they also represent the single largest expense your
company has. UNFORTUNATELY, EMPLOYEES IN MOST COMPANIES ARE SIMPLY NOT
PERFORMING AS WELL AS THEY COULD BE OR SHOULD BE.
If you are a business owner or manager, underperforming employees
limit your ability to be competitive. They drain productivity. They
can seriously hurt morale. They have a direct and negative impact on
the profitability of your organization. Yes, your employees are
probably your largest cost and among your largest headaches.
But your employees are also the one thing that can provide you with
the largest gains for the lowest cost.
_"If you want to significantly increase productivity while
dramatically improving morale put a copy of “DEFY MEDIOCRITY” in
the hands of each of your employees. It will tell them things your
managers can't or won't. Do them a favor and do your company a favor
and give them a copy of this book!" FRANK BUNKER EAST COAST SALES
MANAGER, WALKER-CLAY, INC._
To defeat apathy, procrastination, the attitude of entitlement,
absenteeism, low productivity, poor quality, complacency and dozens of
other negative traits is to _"DEFY MEDIOCRITY"_. This book will remind
your employees of why they were hired, of what their job is, of how
their efforts impact the company. It will:
* Show them why their efforts and contributions must come before the
rewards and promotions.
* Help create support for management.
* Provide the motivation they need and may not be getting.
* Get them to start looking out for the company instead of
themselves.
* Show your employees how to improve their value to the company and
why it benefits them to do so.
* Teach them what it takes to excel.
* Teach them how easy it is to become an impact employee.
* Show them the importance of integrity and pride.
* Make them want to start taking responsibility for their actions
and inactions.
* Show them how their ideas, and not just their efforts, can
dramatically impact the company in a positive manner.
* Make them want to solve problems, not just point out every one
they see.
* Show them why what they do is so much more important than what
they say.
* Show them the importance of embracing change and helping to make
it succeed.
* Show them the critical importance of internal customer service and
how it can make their job so much more productive and enjoyable.
* Show them why the company must come first.
_“DEFY MEDIOCRITY: CHOOSE TO BE UNCOMMON. THINK OF THE
ALTERNATIVE.”_ will teach them all this and much more while showing
them why and how it benefits them to think and act this way. An
employee driven to excel can make an astounding impact on the
productivity, morale, quality, and service of your company. All of
which lead to dramatically increased productivity, quality and
profits.
Shouldn't you put a copy in the hands of each employee today?
_"I put a copy of “DEFY MEDIOCRITY” in the hands of every one of
my employees and I make sure all new employees get a copy before they
start the first day. If you want your employees to start living up to
their potential, you will too. We have never had a better return on
such a meager investment."JOE KAMEESE, CEO, AMERICAN BUSINESS
CONNECTIONS_
A fair question. After all, you should want to know what qualifies me
to write this book. Having spent over 3 decades in senior management
positions with both large and small companies I am not someone who has
read about what to do, or has only told others what to do.
I have done what I write about. I have years of hands-on experience
in operations, marketing, administration, production, and in just
about every other area of business.
I am not an MBA or Ph.D. and while I do have degrees in Business
Administration, Marketing, and Management, textbooks and classrooms
have not taught me how to dramatically increase the productivity and
profitabilty of any business.
Most of what I have learned has been through trial and error. I have
worked on the production floor and in the boardroom.
I have helped run very successful companies and I have turned around
companies that had been bleeding red. I have started at the bottom and
worked my way up.
This book will show you the same strategies I used to help me become
Vice President of a major Boston based Advertising Agency at the age
of 27 and Chief Operating Officer / Vice President of Operations of a
nationwide multi-million dollar company at the ripe old age of 31.
What helped me win these jobs and succeed in them were the ideas and
strategies contained in this book and my other book
The same strategies I used with one company that made them so
profitable and made the owner so much money that the owner gave me 10%
ownership of his nationwide multimillion dollar company!
Oh, by the way, I should mention that my education was not what got
me these positions. I dropped out of college at the age of 21 and in
fact, I did not even get my first college degree until I turned 37
years old.
These accomplishments were obtained in spite of not having a college
degree, not because of it.
AS I HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE, FEW THINGS ARE MORE VALUABLE TO AN
EMPLOYER THAN A MANAGER OR EMPLOYEE WHOSE IDEAS AND EFFORTS HELP
DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE THE COMPANY. THIS BOOK WILL SHOW YOU HOW.
I hope you will join owners, executives, managers, and employees from
the very long list of companies, public and private, for profit and
non profit, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, from
virtually every industry who are using the knowledge and strategies
contained in _“DEFY MEDIOCRITY: CHOOSE TO BE UNCOMMON. THINK OF THE
ALTERNATIVE”_ to dramatically improve their job stability, career
path and life.
My best,
DERRICK W. WELCH
