Synopsis

In Up, Down, or Sideways, Mark Sanborn, author of the bestselling book The Fred Factor, prepares you for life's inevitable cycles of up and down--and, too often, sideways. We tend to be surprised when downturns hit us and treat them as the exception--and when times are good, we act as if they will never change. In this book, Mark shows us what we should always be doing to be prepared for these cycles and events in our lives in order to make the most of them. Mark tells his own story of a downturn he experienced. Then, he identifies the principles and practices that will help you discover opportunities in both good times and bad, in up and sideways years. Mark provides timely wisdom that can't be ignored no matter where you are in your personal or professional life.

About this title

From the Back Cover

If you're anything like me, you've probably experienced days--maybe months or years--when you feel as if you are being swept along by life. Bigger forces that you really can't control directly impact your everyday existence and long-term success.

There was a time in my life when that truth hit me like a ton of bricks. In the span of just one year, I was diagnosed with cancer, my business plummeted during an economic downturn, and my investments tanked. In the end, however, those three events turned out to be a gift to me. They gave me fresh insights about what really mattered.

That experience started me thinking: Is it possible to create sustainable success? Can we succeed not just because of circumstances but in spite of them? What should we consistently do to ensure present and future success?

This book is the answer to those questions based on what I've learned. It's about the mind-sets and methods that enable us to succeed when times are good, bad, or in between. You'll discover

• the Survivor's Secret,
• how to break through the common barriers to success,
• how attitude and outlook impact performance,
• why continuous innovation is key,
• and much more.

You'll learn nine predictable, ever-present non-negotiables of life. These ideas will change your life for the better because you'll know what to do during those Up, Down, and Sideways years.
--Mark Sanborn
