The polls have closed in The Great Johnny Bunko Challenge.  And we now have winner.

You have selected "Stay hungry" as the 7th Johnny Bunko Lesson.  

Congratulations to Becky Blanton of Danville, Virginia, who came from behind in the last week to win a resounding victory. Her entry received 72 percent of the nearly 5000 votes cast.  She wins a trip to the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford, England this summer.

The runner-up was "Say 'Thanks' every day," from Ed Brenegar, who ran a thoughtful and spirited campaign from Hendersonville, North Carolina, that won 19 percent of the vote. Third place goes to Dil-Dominé Leonares of Los Angeles for "Do it now," which received 9 percent. 

Be sure to read Ed's reflections on what he learned participating in the contest.  And check out the fan fiction the contest inspired. Meantime, hats are off to all who submitted entries and who took the time to vote

The Adventures of Johnny Bunko is America’s first business book in manga and the last career guide you’ll ever need.  

 

The book, which you can read in an hour, tells the story of Johnny Bunko, a beleaguered Everyman toiling away at the Boggs Corp.  

 

One night Johnny meets Diana, a magical and butt-kicking adviser who teaches Johnny -- and you -- the six lessons of satisfying, productive careers:

 

1.    There is no plan.

2.    Think strengths, not weaknesses

3.    It’s not about you.

4.    Persistence trumps talent.

5.    Make excellent mistakes

6.    Leave an imprint.
