LITTLE GOLD BOOK OF YES! ATTITUDE

[Karan]:  A new acquaintance of mine recently introduced me to Jeffrey Gitomer's Little Gold Book of Yes! Attitude, and I'm so pleased they did: it's wonderful stuff, and it has given me some homework to do!

Life isn't always easy.  Let's be brutally honest; life can be pretty crap, and I'm as guilty as anyone else at allowing events to overwhelm me, sometimes.  Usually I try and look for the positive and the opportunity in any given situation, but they're not always easy to find.

This is where Jeffrey Gitomer steps in, in his own inimitable way, and tells it to you straight.  We all know the difference between a negative and a positive attitude - that's obvious to a blind man on a charging horse.  But did you know there's a difference between a positive attitude and a YES! attitude?  No, neither did I.  I do now though.

I would recommend anyone read this book; whether you're in business or not, the principles are priceless whoever you are.  Your whole life won't change just because you read a book, you are expected to complete some work on yourself and your established thought processes, but as Charles Kettering once said: "...if you've always done it that way, it's probably wrong".

Wouldn't life be better if all of us had a YES! attitude?  Think of all that great customer service you'd receive from everyone, not just IKD!  Think how brighter and more pleasant your day would be if everyone you met had a YES! attitude.  How lovely would it be to bannish negativity forever?  Hmmm, my idealism is starting to show. 

If you fancy seeing what all the fuss is about, enlighten yourself at Play.com where The Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude in hardback is retailing for about £8 + free delivery.  It would still be worth checking other retailers like Amazon & Waterstones, coz' the prices change daily!  You can always give eBay a go...

A butterfly is a caterpillar with a positive attitude
