Happy Thanksgiving

It's a wonderful day to thank God for his many blessings, although that's something we should do every day. It's a foggy morning in North Carolina -- probably the foggiest we've seen here -- but not as foggy as it often is in California. The weather is to turn colder so we've finally decided it's time to bring the outdoor hanging plants in for the winter.

Knockout Entrepreneur by George Foreman

Note: It was a privilege to review this book as part of the Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers program.

The colorful picture on the cover of Knockout Entrepreneur by George Foreman caught my eye – not because of the author's illustrious boxing career but because of the Foreman grills that are so successful and well known. The book is proof that even a street-smart fighting young person can turn his life around. It was inspiring to me to learn of George's faith in God and his application of Scripture to his business endeavors. Hence, he credits the attributes of enthusiasm, integrity, confidence, and courage to his many successes in business and all of his life.

The book is written in layman's language with helpful recaps at the end of chapters for quick later reference. George challenges everyone to live their lives to their fullest potential whether in business or otherwise and to never give up even in adversity. He teaches not only to set goals but how to reach them. He also tells how to use the influence and advice of others, as he has, to further one's endeavors. It is a must-read book for anyone who wants to go one step farther and live a satisfying life.
