At 211º water is hot. At 212º, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. The one extra degree makes the difference. This simple analogy reflects the ultimate definition of excellence. Because it’s the one extra degree of effort, in business and life, that can separate the good from the great. This powerful book by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson gives solid examples of how to incorporate the 212º philosophy into all aspects of your life – at work, with friends and as a parent. Great quotes and great stories illustrate the 212º concept in a memorable format. A warning… once you read it, it will be hard to forget.
“The theme for our annual convention was created around The Extra Degree. The video was powerful and the book made a perfect meeting gift!” – Mike Butkus, McDonalds Corporation.

Please enjoy the introduction to this wonderful book that can change your life and improve your business.

Introduction to Attitude is Everything

I used to wonder how they did it. How could positive people stay so upbeat? You know the ones I’m referring to: They brighten rooms just by walking in. No matter what trials may be going on in their lives, they give you the same hospitality you expect to receive while visiting Orlando. Everybody wants to be around them.

We prefer positive people because it’s no fun spending time with a person as chilly as an igloo. No! We enjoy warm, cheerful, upbeat folks who believe in us and remind us that tomorrow is ripe with possibility.

Most of us want to be positive people. It’s advantageous to possess a sunny outlook. Doors open to optimists. They make friends, earn respect, close sales, produce loyal clients, and others enjoy and want to be like them. The question is how can we do that? What does it take to be positive? How can we grin instead of grouch?

Good news! If you want to pep up your outlook, this book tells how.
Never forget … Attitudes are contagious.
Always ask … Is mine worth catching? I hope it will be! Vicki Hitzges
