Product Review
This book coaches readers to realize their full potential by focusing on four fundamental truths: Change begins to happen the moment you decide to change ; you must want to change; you must expect change; you should enjoy the process of change. Drawing upon years of experience as a motivational speaker and financial advisor, Lewis shows how she has successfully used these principles to help thousands of corporate executives, financial advisors, insurance executives, entrepreneurs, accountants, and attorneys change their lives. Chapters are filled with concrete examples, anecdotes, and sage advice, such as "Life is like luggage, there are limits to what you can take on the journey" and "If you want your life to be different, you must be different."
With humor and flair, The Seven Minute Difference spurs people to unlock their purpose, knowledge, and passion, and as a result, transform their lives at work and at home.

Define a mission and action plan that will support change;
Implement change and keep the momentum going;
Paint the canvas of your life – map out your goals;

Small Steps To Big Changes,
October 15, 2008 Sharon Michaels "SharonMichaels" (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 7 Minute Difference: Small Steps to Big Changes (Paperback)
The subtitle says it all - Small Steps To Big Changes. Author Allyson Lewis has written a book that if read, worked and applied can provide the practical positive steps for taking you from where you are now to where you want to be both personally and professionally.
The Seven Minute Difference is listed under the General Business category but I feel it is also a well-written personal development book. If you're truly looking to succeed in business you must be able to grow and change as all the different aspects of your life grow and change. This book is based on being positive and proactive as change is happening in all facets of life.
Change happens and often without much notice. It is how well we are able to handle change that will make the difference between going forward, standing still or sliding backward. Allyson Lewis shows us how to work through change in manageable bite-sized "micro-actions."

This review is from: The 7 Minute Difference: Small Steps to Big Changes (Paperback)
I have been a business owner since 1989. One thing I have learned over the years is that overwhelming success is found in focusing on the small details that other similar businesses overlook.
One small detail that is often overlooked is the daily discipline of simply planning. Short term and long term goals. 90 day goals, daily goals. The daily chaos of the urgent while running your business can easily put your LIFE PLANS on the back burner.
"The 7 Minute Difference" is a great resource to keep you FOCUSED and ON TRACK with your goals, plans and dreams.
Couple this book with Author Allyson Lewis "Daily planner" and you are hooked!!
Business Guru, Tom peters says "You Are Your Calendar. It's not your priority if it's not reflected in your time". Let this book be your guide. Much more than a book. A daily Resource!
