Your power lies in the present moment; it’s the only place where you can effect change.

Bought and read this publication. It is a down and dirty game plan and awareness book that was a well flowing read. I will keep it close as a solid reference. Worth the time! I shared a lot of the insight with my kids- Its never to early to start planting seeds of success.

Whether you are a leader of a company, a team, a family, a bunch of friends, or you are trying to take control of your life after a setback or tragedy, John's book will give you extra tools to add to your aresenal. This book is short in length, but packed with great information we can all use. The best line, in my opinion, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go farther, go together." (Something like that). That was profound.
