Who does not want to make it to the TOP, in the corporate world? This is what the book is about – SOARing to the TOP!
The author, Shawn Anderson, recommends his formula built into the acronym “SOAR” that is Seeing, Organising, Acting, Rejecting (failure), and there by rising above the crowd, onward and upward, in order to reach for your dream to the Top!
To soar is to rise, glide, and fly high, with little effort. To climb swiftly to a higher level. To push yourself past preconceived and self imposed limitations. To live a life of new possibilities, confronting and conquering the highest personal and business challenges. To believe that I CAN accomplish what I have set to do, and I WILL make it happen!
The author urges you to SOAR! He dares you to take off to achieve, to ignite your passion, and empower yourself to soar high to the Top in your career and business. Feel the impulse to soar high. Seeing yourself succeed and accomplishing your goals and dreams. Seeing is pitching the future – your future. Organising yourself and your goals and dreams with a specific plan to achieve them. Making it a mission. Acting on a plan, doing it, whatever it takes to make it happen. Rejecting failures and defeatist attitude, and not quitting in achieving your goals. Not letting anything impede your success.
The book explains how by incorporating the four cornerstones of success in your life can help you move to the Top, onward and upward! Nothing happens unless you first dream a dream! The book attempts to help you unlock your potential to soar. Like a blueprint to building your dreams. Within you lies a little “genie” called “potential” which will help drive you forward and make your fears vanish, and increase the possibilities beyond the cloud of your life.
The book suggests you get out of your comfort zone and take responsibility of your own life and career! “A ship in the harbour is safe! But that is not what the ship was built for. Your situation is similarly familiar.” Begin and take off. Reflect more and risk more to move ahead. Be excited and un-limit yourself to pursue your dream. It’s ultimately up to you to make your dream come true.
The author asks the reader, if you are ready. He says inches make champions. Remember that no matter how long your journey is, it begins with the single step – yours! See, organise, act, and move forwards through thick and thin, keeping your goals in front of you. Dare to dream, and make a difference to do something worth doing. For that the time is NOW. Focus on your target, big or small, and go for it. Be an “Act Now” person. Plan your path to yield powerful results, to give you clarity and bring strength to what you do. Empower yourself to make things happen. Persist with patience. Make wise use of your time. Turn setbacks upside down – keeping in mind failure is not an option!
To quote Bernard Edmunds: “To dream anything that you want to dream. That is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.” Reflect on what is best for you, and you are willing to commit one hundred percent, mentally, emotionally, and physically, to accomplish your dream to make it to the Top!
