Well, here we go another month and another great book. I’m having a lot of fun and learning some very valuable lessons by reading and reviewing these books for you. I highly recommend you get a copy of this next book and read it, then make it a part of your life. It’s very easy to read, it’s less than a hundred pages, or better yet listen to on an audiobook while you’re driving. Not only will these principles make your day so much better, they will have a huge impact on the people all around you. Many of us feel like our jobs just don’t make much of a difference or that there really aren’t any ways to do our job better. Fred will show you how to make a difference no matter what your job is.
Meet Fred.
In his powerful new book The Fred Factor, motivational speaker Mark Sanborn recounts the true story of Fred, the mail carrier who passionately loves his job and who genuinely cares about the people he serves. Because of that, he is constantly going the extra mile handling the mail – and sometimes watching over the houses – of the people on his route, treating everyone he meets as a friend. Where others might see delivering mail as monotonous drudgery, Fred sees an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those he serves.
We’ve all encountered people like Fred in our lives. In The Fred Factor, Mark Sanborn illuminates the simple steps each of us can take to transform our own lives from the ordinary – into the extraordinary. Sanborn, through stories about Fred and others like him, reveals the four basic principles that will help us bring fresh energy and creativity to our life and work: how to make a real difference everyday, how to become more successful by building strong relationships, how to create real value for others without spending a penny, and how to constantly reinvent yourself.
By following these principles, and by learning from and teaching other “Freds,” you, too, can excel in your career and make your life extraordinary. As Mark Sanborn makes clear, each of us has the potential be a Fred. The Fred Factor shows you how.
Seize the chance to be extraordinary.
Who has made the biggest difference in your life? Whose words and actions have uplifted and motivated you to excel? Chances are it was someone like Fred the postman–so outstanding in his service that Mark Sanborn realized this mail carrier could be an example for any person wanting to be extraordinary.
The “Fred factor” is summarized by four principles that will release fresh energy, enthusiasm, and creativity in your career and life:
* Make a Difference
* Build Relationships
* Create Value
* Reinvent Yourself
You, too, can apply The Fred Factor to enrich the lives of customers, co-workers, friends, and family members, as well as reach new levels of personal success yourself. Sanborn also shows how to discover and develop other “Freds.
Why not become a “Fred” yourself? You will turn the ordinary moments of life into extraordinary opportunities to make a difference in the world.
In our line of work, the trucking industry we come into contact with many people everyday. People from many other industries, and we have a huge opportunity to make a difference. The sad part is most of the time we are making a negative impact. This book will help you turn that around and make all of your encounters with other people positive.
