Sixteen Attitude Steps for Building Your Business, Family and Future

We live in an era of American history shaped by a sense of discouragement so enormous that it is holding us hostage and paralyzing our forward progress. The core values that have made us a great nation–our ingenuity, hard work, perseverance and concern for one another as fellow citizens–are threatened by a toxic combination of greed, fraud, incompetence and exploitation. The result for all strata of our society is a condition of imbalance, mistrust, uncertainty and cynicism.  Hence, what rises to the surface is not our American can-do-ness but rather our deepest, craziest fear (False Evidence Appearing Real).
