The program introduces 34 dominant \"themes\" with thousands of possible combinations, and reveals how they can best be translated into personal and career success.

But he is no ordinary U.S. Postal Service worker. According to Sanborn, he is the kind of worker who exemplifies everything that is \"right\" with customer service and business in general, and is \"a gold-plated example of what personalized service looks like and a role model for anyone who wants to make a difference in his or her work.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only did Sanborn get the best postal service he had ever experienced when he moved to Fred's route, but he also got a perfect example of superior service to illustrate his presentations to business leaders throughout the United States. According to Sanborn, anyone can be a Fred and live an extraordinary life as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFour Fred Principles\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After examining the factors that make Fred the Postman such an extraordinarily committed service person, Sanborn honed them down to four principles that can be applied to improve anyone's life and work. These principles are:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEveryone makes a difference. Some might see delivering mail as monotonous drudgery, but Fred sees the task as an opportunity to make the lives of his customers more enjoyable. Regardless of whether an employer hinders exceptional performance, ignores it, or does not adequately recognize it, only the employee can choose to do his or her job in an extraordinary way. Sanborn writes, \"Nobody can prevent you from choosing to be exceptional.\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuccess is built on relationships. Indifferent people deliver impersonal service. Sanborn writes that service becomes personalized when a relationship exists between the provider of the service and the customer. The quality of the relationship determines the quality of the product or service. Leaders succeed when they recognize that their employees are human, and employees like Fred the Postman succeed when they recognize their work involves interacting with other human beings.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYou must continually create value for others, and it doesn't have to cost a penny. Replace money with imagination. Sanborn explains that the object is to outthink your competition rather than outspend them. The most critical skill that contributes to employability is the ability to create value for customers and colleagues without spending money to do it. Substitute creativity for capital. Mediocrity is your silent opponent and can diminish the quality of your performance as well as the meaning you derive from it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYou can reinvent yourself regularly. If Fred the Postman can excel at bringing creativity and commitment to putting mail in a box, you are probably capable of doing as much or more to reinvent your work and rejuvenate your efforts. Sanborn believes that \"no matter what job you hold, what industry you work in, or where you live, every morning you wake up with a clean slate. You can make your business, as well as your life, anything you choose it to be.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFred Sightings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sanborn points out that Freds can be found everywhere, and there are more Freds out there than he once thought. One Fred is a woman at a hotel who helped Sanborn out in a pinch by taking his coffee-stained pants home with her overnight to personally wash and press for his departure the next day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother Fred he describes is a flight attendant who made a 6:15 a.m. flight from Denver to San Francisco more enjoyable for passengers by lightening the usual announcements with her unique sense of humor: \"If you are having a hard time getting your ears to pop, I suggest you yawn widely. And if you are having a hard time yawning, ask me to tell you about my love life.\" Sanborn explains that she took some risks and had some fun, and as a result, her \"customers\" the passengers had fun, too.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother Fred who Sanborn describes is a hotel worker who lent him $30 when he had no cab fare for his ride home. Sanborn explains that this Fred knows that the way to move through life joyfully and successfully is by focusing on what you give rather than what you get. Freds do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSanborn explains that if you want more Freds in the world, be a Fred.

Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back.  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n There are \u003ci\u003emany\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eothers\u003c\/i\u003e like Chris – those who’ve found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful.  Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn’t depend on shelving what you currently do.  You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies.  In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment.  It’s all about finding the intersection between your “expertise” – even if you don’t consider it such -- and what other people will pay for.  You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees.  All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick.  Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish – \u003ci\u003esell\u003c\/i\u003e him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold.

All jobs, large and small, long-term and temporary, he writes, contribute to your life’s work. A particular job may be important because of the emotional rewards it offers or for the money. But beneath the surface, your labors are shaping your destiny for better or worse. If you ignore the deeper issues, you may not know the nature of your calling, and if you don’t do work that connects with your deep soul, you may always be dissatisfied, not only in your choice of work but in all other areas of life. Moore explores the often difficult process—the obstacles, blocks, and hardships of our own making—that we go through on our way to discovering our purpose, and reveals the joy that is our reward. He teaches us patience, models the necessary powers of reflection, and gives us the courage to keep going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Life’s Work\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful rumination, realistic and poignant, and a comforting and exhilarating guide to one of life’s biggest dilemmas and one of its greatest opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this slender volume, bestselling spiritual guru Moore (\u003ci\u003eCare of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e) says that finding the right work, finding one's vocation, is also part of the care of the soul. Often Moore proves astute; for instance, he urges people to think about having not just one but a variety of callings. His consideration of the pleasures and foibles of friendship in the workplace is especially insightful. Although confident that even the most mundane job can be enjoyable and life-giving, Moore sets the question of vocation in a broader frame, suggesting that it is best addressed as a part of fashioning lives that are organically whole and meaningful. Though still influenced by Jung, Moore draws inspiration from a delightful array of sources, including Yeats, Socrates, and Rapunzel. The book's governing metaphor, alchemy, is often apt; Moore notes that both alchemy and finding a life's work require patience through a long refining process, and both are about the process, not just the end result. Often the comparison works; at other times, it's heavy-handed, and Moore also lapses into clichés (\"take the past and own it\"). Nonetheless, this will be of use to many people who seek joyful work and integrated lives.\u003ci\u003e (Feb. 26)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopyright 2007 Reed Business Information\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth, Fitness \u0026amp; Dieting\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePsychology \u0026amp; Counseling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45262308442302,"sku":"0767922530-3","price":12.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41NBvFYQNUL._SL500.jpg?v=1754092181"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/collections\/books-business-money-business-culture.oembed?page=4","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
