Find your ocean of opportunity

We all face set-backs in life at one time or another. Whether it be an economic downturn, new and greater competition, negative associations, you name it, life is full of challenges. We all face them, and we all must decide on how to face them. That is the crucial part. In Jon Gordon's little parable, THE SHARK AND THE GOLDFISH, we learn about Gordy, the goldfish. In a sudden series of events, Gordy finds himself no longer in the comfortable confines of his fishbowl, but loose in a vast ocean of uncertainty. Luckily for Gordy, he finds a mentor in Sammy the Shark.Gordy learns lessons from Sammy we all need to learn and apply to our everyday lives, both personal and professional. Author Jon Gordon does a terrific job of presenting valuable lessons in an entertaining way. For me, the part I liked most was a short but concise lesson on the commonalities and differences in faith and fear, the effects of each, and how to leave fear behind and replace it with faith. This little lesson alone is more than worth the price of this little book.I'm looking forward to introducing this story at my next meeting. There are some great training tools here on positive ways to not only face change (in an ever changing world) but how to come out on top of change and make that change work to your benefit.If you're looking for a quick and easy read that will change focus and outlook, this is it. I have several employees who all but refuse to read. This one can easily be digested in about an hour, so it perfect for non-readers to get them on the right track and create a positive change for them.

Great for teens and up1

You'll see this review for all the Jon Gordon books I read. I actually bought "Training Camp" first, because I wanted my daughter (competitive soccer player) to work on her mental game. I read it first to be sure it was appropriate for her age (15). Well, I loved it! I found many helpful things for me. I was getting in a rut at my job and after looking inside myself, it seemed as though I was always angry and frustrated. I reached a point where I decided to change my outlook on everything, and whatever happens externally, happens. After Training Camp, I read the entire Jon Gordon series. They are very easy reading, regardless of age level (teens and up). People might complain that his books are too basic, but if you don't need a PHD to understand something, why write it like you need one? Each book has very simple steps and/or lessons to move you in the right direction. They didn't all work for me, but they all changed my outlook. Great stuff!

A Big Punch and Great Information in Such A Little Book

I love this little book that packs a great punch to motivate anyone who are stuck in procrastination. I love the fact that it uses two characters that would normally be enemies to come together and navigate through life.I pick this book and read when things get rough. It is a short read which can be done in one sitting or definitely in a couple of days.A great book for anyone from six months to 100 years young♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

A motivating analogy

This book not only apply to life from a materialistic perspective, its comparative to the spiritual aspects as well. There is a focus on finding what is required to sustain life and find it in abundance despite the obstacles of people,places, things, and challenges. An excellent read and should be read by young children (12-18) as well.

The Shark and the Goldfish

This is another great book by Jon Gordon. I think it builds on the messages of The Energy Bus and The Positive Dog. It is a simple read but contains a powerful message or reminder of the pathway to success.
