BOOK REVIEW: "Up, Down, or Sideways: How To Succeed When Times Are Good, Bad, or In Between" by Mark Sanborn

This book was a recent free selection for the Kindle. When I read the description, the book appealed to me on many levels. I liked the fact that it presented a Christian worldview on not only business, but life practices. And who of us can't relate to the ups, downs, and in-betweens of life?



I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author, Mark Sanborn, uses Biblical principles supported by scripture to help the reader define success and then carry out a plan for success. In our dog-eat-dog world, it's refreshing to read a book on success that focuses on meeting the needs of others.



Whether reading this for application in your life or your business, I believe every reader will come away with useful information after reading this book. I highly recommend it!



(NOTE: This review is my honest opinion, I received no compensation for this review.)



ABOUT THE BOOK: In Up, Down, or Sideways, Mark Sanborn, author of the bestselling book The Fred Factor,
prepares you for life's inevitable cycles of up and down—and, too
often, sideways. We tend to be surprised when downturns hit us and treat
them as the exception—and when times are good, we act as if they will
never change. In this book, Mark shows us what we should always be doing
to be prepared for these cycles and events in our lives in order to
make the most of them. Mark tells his own story of a downturn he
experienced. Then, he identifies the principles and practices that will
help you discover opportunities in both good times and bad, in up and
sideways years. Mark provides timely wisdom that can't be ignored no
matter where you are in your personal or professional life.
