Book description
An illustrated business fable that gives you the faith, courage and
confidence to win in today's tough economic climate
Fear and uncertainty are staples of daily life in today's struggling
economy. As bad as things can be, economic downturns also lead to new
opportunities. It's easy to worry, give up and let fear paralyze you.
However, you have more control than you think you do and how you
handle adversity is your choice-and the only choice that matters. In
fact, study history and you'll find that a lot of people and
organizations 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 do the same.
In The Shark and the Goldfish, Jon Gordon shares an inspiring
fable about Gordy, a pampered goldfish who gets swept out to sea.
Desperate for food, Gordy meets a kind shark who teaches him the
ultimate lesson-Goldfish wait to be fed. Sharks go find food. Gordy
also learns that the difference between a full and empty stomach is
our faith, beliefs and actions. In the face of adversity and lean
times, this is a business fable that reinforces a proven truth: You
can't control the events in your life. But you can control how you
respond and in turn this determines the outcome.
