You can be extraordinary

The premise of this month’s recommended book is pretty simple: be considerate and be willing to offer a helping hand without expecting anything more than feeling good about being helpful.

This book is a great example of someone who was seen as ordinary, but who did amazing things within his sphere of influence.

The truth is, “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.”

I loved this book because so often people think they need a title or a position before they can have a real influence on people's lives but this story shows us differently.

It’s the perfect summer book because it’s a short read, the take-aways are simple and it’s a great reminder that we all have the power to positively affect the lives of those around us.
