Book - 2009

This business fable teaches valuable lessons on the importance of working hard, maintaining a locus of control and focusing on positive choices instead of negative voices. A lot of people and organizations have made a name for themselves and grew their businesses during recessions and downturns. These successful people and organizations all shared similar characteristics and took similar actions to thrive while others merely tried to survive. You can't control the events in your life, but you can control how you respond and in turn this determines the outcome.--From publisher description.
