The Eagle Within: Success Principles from a Simple American (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781418434069)

Do you still believe in the American Dream? If you answered yes, this book is designed to help you develop the mental-toughness needed to make your life and career dreams come true. Let's face it, dreaming big dreams is easy. The challenge for most of us is to condition our minds to execute our dreams on a consistent basis. Why is it important to dream big dreams?" Because, America was built by big dreamers. We must accept our responsibility as simple Americans to dream the unthinkable, so our children will live in a better place. We must continue this 200 hundred year old tradition of improvement. I believe the American Dream speaks to everyone - the problem is most Americans choose not to listen. This book will also assist you in determining your true identity. Most of us live our lives as actors or actresses on the world stage. But honestly, who are we? At the end of this book, you will conclude that you are either an "Eagle" (can-do person) or a "duck" (can't-do person). Most people are actually ducks in Eagle clothing. After reading this book, you will begin seeing Eagles and ducks everywhere in our society. This insight will often shock and surprise you about the people in your life and the people you currently look up to. Why do I call myself "the Simple American"? Because I believe that simple Americans are the fuel that allows this great nation to prosper. The Eagle Within will illustrate my journey from parking cars to President and Chief Operating Officer of a $70 million dollar organization. I will share my 118 Eagle Principles that I believe and teach in our organization's Eagle Leadership Program .Learn why I believe 50% of Americans live their lives in a "mental wheelchair." Learn how I overcame the "shyness disease" and learn why the "guy on the bridge" is controlling your life. I will also illustrate and confirm that "your momma was right", not only when you were young but also throughout your business career, and I will explain why my heart attack was the best event to occur in my life. I am confident my story is really the story of most simple Americans. Let me ask you to ponder one last question. Do you believe in what I call the Eagle's Creed? The Eagle's Creed states, "There are two guarantees in life: everyone is going to die and most people will never live!" Please reflect on this statement for several minutes. This statement is accurate for the majority of Americans. I hope this book will assist you in fulfilling your dreams and your American destiny. I believe America needs all simple Americans to return to the original American values of self-reliance, pursuit of excellence and freedom. If all Americans do not reach their full potential, America will never reach her full potential. We have a very important job to do - let's get busy.
