Publisher's Summary:

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, youve probably experienced days - maybe months or years - when you feel as if you are being swept along by life. Bigger forces that you really cant 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 Ive learned. Its about the mind-sets and methods that enable us to succeed when times are good, bad, or in between. You'll discover:

Youll learn nine predictable, ever-present non-negotiables of life. These ideas will change your life for the better because youll know what to do during those Up, Down, or Sideways years.

Inspiration for dealing with opportunities and challenges

There are things you can do to help you succeed even in challenging times, and they are in fact the same things that you should do regardless of whether conditions are good or bad, according to Mark Sanborn in this book. The things that you can do can never guarantee success, but they do increase the odds in your favour.

The book is divided into three sections titled "See", "Think", and "Do". The first section discusses how to see opportunities in daunting waves; the second discusses mindsets that help deal with challenges and take advantage of opportunities; and the third discusses things which can be done to create sustainable success, including:

* Create products, services, experiences and ideas that other people value

* Keep your pipeline filled with relationships, valuable projects and potential customers

* Take care of the people you value and who value you

* Keep learning as much as you can about the people you serve and those who serve you

* It is not enough to be different; you need to be different and valued

* Protect what you value by building reserves

* Practise gratitude, which is the antidote for negative thinking

* Embrace discipline and consistently act on your intentions

Like the author's other books, this one is short, entertaining and easy to read. There is nothing particularly surprising about most of the advice given, but much of it relates to the things which we tend to forget or neglect to do in the busyness and stresses of daily life. In my view the book is a handy and helpful source of inspiration for dealing with opportunities and challenges.

Timeless Truths for Business and Life

Where are you in life right now? Are you in a good place and moving up? Are you in a so-so place and holding steady? Are you having troubles and finding things around you sinking? Up, Down, or Sideways reveals timeless principles for living that apply to you no matter where you are.

Mark's audience is primarily the business community, but his principles relate to all areas of life. Even as a stay at home mom and homeschooling mom found this book a welcome reminder of how I need to think and act.
