  • Based off of Marcy Blochowiak’s quote, “You are always one choice away from changing your life,” this gift book is filled with quotes, stories, and beautiful photography.
  • 15 short chapters on the importance and art of making the one choice that will change your life.
  • An ideal gift of inspiration for anyone looking to change their thinking and their life.

Are you sitting on the fence of indecision awaiting the courage to take action? Mac Anderson invites you to begin changing your life, and encourages that it starts with only one choice.

In One Choice, Mac Anderson, the founder of Simple Truths will introduce you to people from all walks of life who made life-changing choices. Whether it’s switching careers, losing weight, finding financial freedom, adopting a child, or giving back to others, if you have the courage, you could make any one of these choices today and you would change your life.

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.

212 – The Extra Degree, Authors  – Mac Anderson & Sam Parker

  • Use the 212 movie to open your next team meeting and give the book as a meeting takeaway
  • Recommended reading for team building, personal development, sports teams and schools.

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.

Finish Strong – Author Dan Green

Finish Strong…it’s more than a statement, it’s an attitude. When you combine the word “finish” with “strong,” you create a powerful platform for action. You often hear these two words from athletes as they describe their goals. The media uses these words to describe the performance of everything; from the stock market to stock car racing. And of course in business, we use these two words all the time to encourage our team to finish the month, the quarter, or the year…strong!
With 20 inspiring chapters, Finish Strong makes a great gift for your team, your friends, or your customers. The powerful stories will provide a “double shot of inspiration” for anyone who reads it!

Here’s a sampling:
• An Expedition in Faith
• A Spirit Forged in Steel
• Don’t Stop Believing
• Dying to Make a Difference
• Believing is Seeing
• To Finish First You Must First Finish

Seven Choices for Success & Significance

Author(s): Dr. Nido Qubein

A new release by Dr. Nido Qubein. To merely succeed is not an end in itself. You must use your success to impact other people…to impact the world…to Live Life from the Inside Out....MORE INFORMATION »

  • “The power to affect your future lies within your own hands” – Nido Qubein.
  • There’s no secret formula for success. But, in this book, Dr. Qubein will show you how to make the right choices for a life of both success and significance.
  • A wonderful book for anyone just starting out or someone looking for change in their career or life path.

Every once in awhile, you meet someone whose perspective changes yours… whose way of looking at the world challenges you to be a better person.

Dr. Nido Qubein is one of those people. His personal story is an inspiration in itself. He arrived in this country as a teenage immigrant with little knowledge of English and 50 dollars in his pocket. But, what he did have was a belief that if you work hard enough and smart enough, you can make good things happen in your life.

And that’s exactly what he did. Now the president of High Point University in High Point, North Carolina, Dr. Qubein is also Chairman of Great Harvest Bread Company and director of several New York Stock Exchange companies. He’s been an entrepreneur, consultant, author and one of the most sought-after speakers in the country.

In his latest book, Seven Choices for Success and Significance, Dr. Qubein shares his insights on the choices he made for success.

“Success is not a matter of luck, not an accident of birth, not a reward for virtue. The most successful people I know are the ones who have something to do, somewhere to be and someone to love.

No one is responsible for your success or your joy. You must search for it and be in a continual state of earning it.

To merely succeed is not an end in itself. You must use your success to impact other people…to impact the world…to Live Life from the Inside Out.

It all starts with the choices you make—they determine the person you will become. “

- An excerpt from Seven Choices for Success and Significance.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from someone who not only has set a standard for achievement, but who does so in a way which gives back to others. Seven Choices for Success and Significance will give you the tools you need to choose both success and significance in your own life.
