212 Service – with DVD

Someone once said, “Life is like a game of tennis. The player who serves well seldom loses.” The same can be said for any business on the planet. There are many books written about service, however, our goals in this one is to keep it simple. 212º Service presents 10 simple, but engaging rules of service that can be read by every member of your team in less than 30 minutes.

You may know the 212 concept for our original bestseller 212º The Extra Degree written by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson. But this book is written specifically for businesses and is all about creating a service culture. In case you are not familiar with the 212º concept, here it is in a nutshell:

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 book is written with real life examples that will have your team coming up with ideas that apply specifically to your industry.

Mac Anderson, Author,
“In 212° Leadership, I share 10 of the elements that can help to transform your leadership skills, along with some of my favorite quotes on the elements of leadership. I’ve always been fascinated with the qualities and characteristics of great leaders. History has identified many qualities and characteristics of great leaders, and, of course, no person embodies them all. But the great leaders I’ve known, or read about have one simple thing in common: They have developed their leadership styles around their personalities and their values, and in the end, their actions are consistent with what they truly believe.

212° Leaders have made the leap from good to great. They are able to not only rally the troops to committed, purposeful action, but also to create an environment where quality and innovation are the norm, rather than the exception.
212° Leadership is designed to make you think…to help you grow…and to provide that extra degree of passion to take your leadership skills from effective to extraordinary! ”

• Just in time for the New Year! Break the cycle of bad habits with this new release by John J. Murphy and Mac Anderson!
• Each chapter ends with worksheets that will help you clearly identify your negative and positive habits and reinforce the lesson in each chapter.

If you have bad habits that are preventing you from attaining your goals – this is the book for you

“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.”
John Dryden

Habits begin and manifest deep in the mind and they can be friends or foes. Good habits can make our lives easier, helping us to do the more mundane things of life without thinking about them, like automatically depositing your paycheck.
But, as all of us know all too well, habits can also be destructive…to our health, to our finances, to our relationships. It’s why we struggle with losing weight, paying off our credit cards or quitting smoking…to name a few “bad habits.”
Whether they are a positive force in our lives or obstacles to the goals we want to achieve, habits become ingrained through repeated actions.

As creatures of habit, many people struggle with breaking habits. In Habits Die Hard, it is our intention to help you through this very common, very challenging life experience by giving you 10 keys to replacing destructive habits. Each chapter contains a worksheet to help you identify your specific problem areas and how to improve them.
If you have habits you intend to change, you will not be disappointed in this book.

Food for Thought…

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.
I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.
I am at your command.
Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me.
For I can do them quickly, correctly and profitably.
I am easily managed; just be firm with me.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a
machine and the intelligence of a person.
You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.
Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.
Lead me. Reward me.
And I will then…do it automatically.
I am your servant.
Who am I?
I am a habit

Simple Truths philosophy: There is one thing in life that took me a long time to learn, and that’s… less is almost always more. This “simple truth” is the foundation on which our company was built. I wanted to create beautiful gift books that anyone can read in less than thirty minutes.

To make each book special, we focused on three things: Great content, Great graphics, Great packaging to create a “wow effect”

We also chose not to offer our books in any bookstores or any retail outlets, to make it even more special as a gift.

Satisfied customers are our #1 priority, so I encourage you to give us feedback on how we’re doing. If we ever disappoint you, I hope you’ll let us know, and we will do everything we can to make it right.

MAC ANDERSON is the founder of Simple Truths, and Successories, Inc., the leader in designing and marketing products for motivation and recognition. These companies, however, are not the first success stories for Mac. He was also the founder and CEO of McCord Travel, the largest travel company in the Midwest, and part owner/VP of sales for Orval Kent Food Company, the country’s largest manufacturer of prepared salads. Mac’s accomplishments in these unrelated industries provide some insight into his passion and leadership skills.

Mac brings the same passion to his speaking and writing. He speaks to many corporate audiences on a variety of topics, including leadership, motivation, and team building. He has authored or co-authored many of the Simple Truths books including: You Can’t Send a Duck to Eagle School, Customer Love, The Nature of Success, The Power of Attitude, Charging the Human Battery, Motivational Quotes, The Essence of Leadership, To a Child Love is Spelled T-I-M-E, The Dash, Change is Good…You Go First, 212° The Extra Degree and Learning to Dance in the Rain, What’s the Big Idea

Mac brings the same passion to his speaking and writing. He speaks to many corporate audiences on a variety of topics, including leadership, motivation, and team building. He has authored or co-authored 12 books including: You Can’t Send a Duck to Eagle School, Customer Love, The Nature of Success, The Power of Attitude, Charging the Human Battery, Motivational Quotes, The Essence of Leadership, To a Child Love is Spelled T-I-M-E, The Dash, Change is Good…You Go First, 212° The Extra Degree and Learning to Dance in the Rain.

Ideas are powerful and one…just one, can change your business and your life.
If you don’t believe me, just pick up the phone and call Steve Jobs, Howard
Shultz or Bill Gates. (Oops…I just remembered, they might be pretty busy.)

Here’s the question and also the inspiration for this book… How do big
ideas happen?
Is there a process or a formula? Or do big ideas just “bubble up” when
minds are curious and open to change? As a lifetime entrepreneur,
the “big idea question” has always fascinated me.

Although every story is different, sometimes just reading how it happened
can “spark” your imagination into action. Sometimes just learning about
how an individual who
was willing to take the risk to follow his or her dream and fight through
adversity to keep it alive, might be just the “push” you need.

However, this collection of “Big Idea Stories” was not only written with the entrepreneur in mind, it was also written to inspire innovation within existing companies. Far too often, companies “roll on” with the status quo, only to
wake up one day to find…competition has passed them by.

Whether your ambition is to start your own company or you want to apply
“Big Idea” thinking to your existing company – I know this book will help
spark many new ideas to make your story the next Big Idea!
