There's a great new book out by Mac Anderson, and it has to do with that extra little push of effort you can give that makes a world of difference in your success. It's simply called "212"' and it's the most recent offering of Anderson's Simple Truths inspirational gifts that encourage excellence in all things.

The premise is that at water heated to 211 degrees is hot, but at 212 degrees it boils. It's much like our efforts in life. Many of us work at a forceful pace, but there are those who take it one step farther. With boiling water comes steam, which can power a locomotive or run turbines to light up a city. It's just one degree difference! But it's that one extra degree that makes all the difference ' in your revenue, your personal life, your career, even your golf game.

Some work at 211 degrees, but this book examines what it means to kick it up to 212. That one degree is the difference between good and great. Anderson has captured the life-changing force that one degree can make in this little book he's published.

What's the one degree of difference for you? Is it that one last push that could place you ahead of the competition? That extra effort that goes beyond acceptable client service? A Web site you should launch, a seminar you could attend or an ad series that could power your business to a new level?

More importantly, is it that one degree that's keeping you from going full steam ahead in life itself? What's the one degree of action you could take that would put heat into your business?

Respond to me when you get time, because I'm interested in knowing what's keeping you from the total power of operating at 212 degrees.
