During my day job as a life coach, I'm always looking for books to recommend to my clients and subscribers. One of my go-to authors for books that can help change your perspective in this game called “life” is Jon Gordon.I was super excited to be invited to read an early copy of his latest book, The Carpenter.The Carpenter opens with Michael, awakening in a hospital. During an early morning run, his body simply gave out from the level of stress he’d been living under trying to nurture a growing family and new business. The man who tended him and got him to a hospital was a Carpenter. When Michael tracks him down to thank him, he ends up hiring him to build a bookshelf in their home.Talking with the Carpenter during his time working on their project, Michael quickly learns that he is more than just a Carpenter; he is also a builder of lives, careers, people, and teams. As the Carpenter shares his wisdom, Michael attempts to save his business in the face of adversity, rejection, fear, and failure.The lessons he learns along the way mirror the truths I regularly work with my clients. There’s no such thing as an overnight success. That we must choose love over fear. That we must serve if we want to lead. That we are not our thoughts, so it’s important to talk (positively) to ourselves instead of listening to our inner critic. Never do anything out of obligation – do it out of service and with gratitude. Your optimism today will determine your success tomorrow. Believe in your dreams and you will accomplish what seems impossible.That if you want to build a successful life and business, your caring will lead to success.
