We are not an airline with great customer service. We are a great customer service organization that happens to be in the airline business.

Dan Sullivan's Laws of Lifetime Growth
Entrepreneur coach Dan Sullivan consistently does a great job of distilling self help style philosophies into bite sized, business oriented, nuggets. His latest book, The Laws Of Lifetime Growth is a perfect example.
Law 1 sets the stage: "Always make your future bigger than your past."
2. Always make your learning greater than your experience.
3. Always make your contribution bigger than your reward.
4. Always make your performance greater than your applause.
5. Always make your gratitude greater than your success.
6. Always make your enjoyment greater than your effort.
7. Always make your cooperation greater than your status.
8. Always make your confidence greater than your comfort.
9. Always make your purpose greater than your money.
10. Always make your questions bigger than your answers.
Each law is its own great lesson. The book is a short easy read that is proving to be one of those books you can jump back into when you need a little focus check.
You can buy it from Amazon here.

Up until now I thought I only had a pair of eyes to see. After reading this fantastic book (Laws of Lifetime Growth), I have come to the realization that my eyes are meant for looking beyond the impossible, unimagineable, unexplored. Now, wherever I look, I only see opportunities, opportunities...What an eye-opener! Thanks Dan....
Howard ... thanks for making me hip to the The Laws of Lifetime Growth book. Amazon delivered my copy today and I plan to read it this weekend.
Great stuff. Those ten things are pretty much _it_ aren't they? :)
