About this listen

An inspirational novel about business and life, struggle and success

There are millions of people who own small businesses - and millions struggle. The Highest Calling is the inspirational story of one of them: Troy Becker. Troy has struggled for 12 years with his remodeling business. Not making much money, working 70 hours per week, his family life suffering, Troy is frustrated and confused.

One day, an old man named Cy mysteriously appears in Troy's life - and keeps appearing. Cy, who is on a desperate journey of his own, comes to understand he has been put there to help Troy - but why? And how will he convince Troy to listen?

The Highest Calling is the story of helping others and of learning how to do the right things to succeed. Cy weaves the most important and powerful business principles of all time into the lessons he delivers to his student, for Troy's sake - and his own. His teachings are beneficial to businesspeople and managers alike.

You will laugh, you will cry, and you will learn. The Highest Calling is more than an inspirational book. For those who seek, it is a powerful entrepreneurial education - one that will improve the lives of millions for a lifetime.

Good listen and good story

Thanks Mr janesky for making this audio book version of your book. While I’m driving to Texas to pick up some business equipment I was able to listen to it over the blue tooth stereo system. Thanks again

A business book with heart♥️

This book has many life lessons. And also gives a great outline for a small business. Or better said how to survive and grow while owning a small business. Using the principals outlined in this book I have personally grown my small construction business from 2 employees to 11. $400 K gross to $1.5 million.
No time with my family to going to all my 5 childrens events, field trips, etc, etc, etc,

Connection to real life struggles of business ownership and stress or relief it can put on all areas of life.

I liked it all and will listen to this several times and share with family and friends.

This story was absolutely wonderful.

This story was so well put together, the lessons on how to grow the person behind the business and how to manage the business itself. So many great lessons woven into the story. Thank you Larry for sharing and reinforcing lessons learned. I ran across this at the time when I'm starting a new contracting business with similar goals and aspirations as Troy. This is right on time.

Still love it & it's my 3rd time listening!

Larry Janesky is my version of Si in this book. His methods are not that of an Angel or Spirit but that of a man who is called to make a difference in his own business his employees, his customer's and the company leaders he encourages toward a Higher Calling. A life that through good business principles and especially the right thinking touches thousands and in his case possibly millions of people. Thank you Larry!

Easy, enjoyable listen

My cousin is a very successful business owner (3 businesses). I’m five months into my first and it’s been consuming me. The stress and way I’ve been processing my thoughts/spending my time led me to not enjoy the month of December at all. Usually it’s my favorite time of year. What makes that worse is that I have three kids under four so my mindsets kept me from helping them make the same special memories I had of Christmas seasons past. I asked my cousin for some advice because I was miserable and he recommended this book, saying he listens to it once a year. I was not disappointed and will listen to it a second time on my long drives.
