Reading4Champions: December Book

Hello Champions!

The November book, "A Setback is a Setup for a Comeback" by Willie Jolley, gave us great tools to effectively handle the bumps in the road of our championship journey.  (if you haven't finished reading it, keep going until you do!) I don't know about you, but no more "awfulizing and catastrophizing" for me.  As Mr. Jolley says, "you cannot control what happens around you, but you can control what happens in you."  Remember, the purpose of the book club is not only to fill our minds with champion thinking, but also to implement champion behavior in our lives.  So don't forget to take one or two of Mr. Jolley's tools and start using them right away.  

Our December book is also about effectively handling the setbacks of life.  This book was recommended to me by a mentor and was the first book I read by this gentleman who has become my favorite author of self-improvement books.  My library is now full of his books.  I even use his Leadership Bible which highlights the leadership principles found in the Bible.  I have had the privilege of hearing him speak, or teach as he would say, on several occasions.  He is known as America's expert on leadership.
