How are you doing right now? Is your business or your life Up, Down, or Sideways? Discover what you can do to succeed during unpredictable times. If you're anything like me, you’ve probably experienced days—maybe months or years—when you feel as if you are being swept along by life. Bigger forces that you really can’t control directly impact your everyday existence and long-term success. There was a time in my life when that truth hit me like a ton of bricks. In the span of just one year, I was diagnosed with cancer, my business plummeted during an economic downturn, and my investments tanked. In the end, however, those three events turned out to be a gift to me. They gave me fresh insights about what really mattered. This audio book is the answer to those questions based on what I’ve learned. It’s about the mind-sets and methods that enable us to succeed when times are good, bad, or in between. You'll discover the Survivor’s Secret, how to break through the common barriers to success, how attitude and outlook impact performance, why continuous innovation is key, and much more. You’ll learn nine predictable, ever-present non-negotiables of life. These ideas will change your life for the better because you’ll know what to do during those Up, Down, or Sideways years.
