Rise Above It

About the Book

    Are you ready to create success in your life? There are identifiable differences between people who succeed in achieving their goals and those who fail. This book provides a research-based understanding of those differences, a clear model for developing a strong personal foundation for success, and five powerful strategies for overcoming the adversity that occurs in your life and achieving the results you want.
    RISE ABOVE IT is based on the philosophy that it is not what happens to you in life that determines success, but how you respond to what happens. Successful people use specific strategies that allow them to respond effectively and support their ability to be successful.
    It has been said that the best way to predict the future is to create it. If we are to create a future that includes success - whatever success means to each of us - it is essential that we equip ourselves with the necessary mindset, life skills, and lifestyle. It is to that end that this book is written. Based both on research and real life experiences, RISE ABOVE IT is a wonderful resource for developing new attitudes and behaviors. It provides the foundation you need for coping effectively with life's challenges and for moving continuously toward the achievement of your goals.
