How Do You Handle Personal And Business Challenges?

I just finished a great book titled: Surviving Your Serengeti by Stefan Swanepoel…
I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with a personal or business issue. Because from time to time …everyone needs a source of inspiration and wisdom for survival.  
Surviving Your Serengiti brought it for me.
Surviving Your Serengeti tells a riveting story of the thousand mile journey which more than two million animals, (over double the number of REALTORS in the United States) J, take each year and the harsh environment they endure filled with death and danger.
Each animal on the Serengeti holds a unique skill which helps them survive this journey, this story explains each.
The book will help you to discover which skills you possess and most importantly, learn how to maximize your unique strengths in your own “Serengeti”... Not just to survive …but thrive during tough conditions.
The text will help you to know:
·        Who you are.
·        What you want.
·        Where you are going.
·        How you will get there.
·        What you are going to do once you get there.
Does this sound strangely familiar to setting goals? Having a business plan? Building a road map …and then following it? Measuring your successes and failures and learning from them…quickly?
Whether you are “The Enduring Wildebeest, The Strategic Lion, The Enterprising Crocodile, The Efficient Cheetah, The Graceful Giraffe, The Risk-Taking Mongoose, or the Communicating Elephant”, you have a skill set you can utilize to improve your life …personally and/or in business.
While the “life and death”…”eat or be eaten” challenges which are faced by the inhabitants of the Seregeti Plains of Africa are certainly a little harsher than most REALTORS daily encounters …The lessons learned from the seven survival skills of the Serengeti can help us to combat our own hardships and live a better life.
