From the Inside Flap

Success begins with attitude. Yet a truly positive, resilient outlook—the kind that just won't quit—often takes training, self-reflection, and practice.

But staying positive in tough times isn't easy. If you've experienced a setback at work, suffered a personal loss, or struggle to make it through the monotony of the workday, A Kick in the Attitude is for you. What jumper cables are to a car battery, this book is to your attitude. It's the positive charge you need to break out of the trap of negative thinking and get back on the track to achieving the success you deserve.

It will recharge your batteries and keep you thriving through all life's ups and downs.

A Kick in the Attitude describes the concrete, proven principles that will put focus and vigor back into your life and work. It gives you the tools you need to revive your attitude with passion and purpose—to make your attitude work for you rather than against you.

Who is Sam Glenn, The Attitude Guy?

Night Time Clean Up Guy Finds Purpose in Adversity,

What makes Sam's book, A Kick in the Attitude, so special is the story that goes with it. At one time, Sam was negative, broke, depressed, lost his job, had no place to live and got by working nights doing odd jobs. Sam's attitude was in the dumps until a dear friend gave him, what he calls a "Kick in the Attitude", a gift that changed his attitude for the better. Within two years, Sam went from sleeping on the floor, negative, broke and depressed to achieving dreams at one time he never thought were possible. Today, Sam energizes audiences as large as 75,000 with his inspiration and sidesplitting humor. His new book release, A Kick in the Attitude, highlights his own journey and energizing principles on how to go positive for success.

Things are much different for Sam Glenn today. He is the founder of EverythingAttitude.com (EA), a motivational resource company known as The Authority on Attitude™, providing dynamic materials and resources for those seeking a kick-start or recharge to their attitude.

Rave Reviews for Sam Glenn's A Kick in the Attitude

Good old fashioned advice on how to have a great attitude, delivered in a pithy and interesting way. -Karen Leland bestselling author of Watercooler Wisdom: How Smart People Prosper in the Face of Conflict, Pressure and Change.

Unemployment is up. Consumer confidence is down. Many people are struggling to take care of their families or fearing the loss of a home. This challenging time can be a recipe for becoming down or depressed. Or it can be a time for us to reevaluate what's important, recharge our attitudes, and renew a can-do spirit. A Kick in the Attitude is more than a how to book; it's a book that motivates you want to get and/or stay on your feet. Losing his family business that had been around for generations, sleeping on the floor at the home of friends, and, in his words, "losing perspective so badly that I sold my car for gas money"...Sam Glenn has been there. His simple, straightforward book reminds us that while we don't always have the opportunity to chose the circumstances of our lives, each of us controls something even more powerful: our attitudes. While his book is highly entertaining, it contains a vital, serious, and practical message that we need to hear the most when things seem chaotic---YOU. ARE. IN. CONTROL! - Scott Carbonara


Sam Glenn is known for his funny and motivational presentations and for his ability to give people a kick in the attitude. Now he has done it in print. A Kick in the Attitude is fun to read and filled with great ideas that anyone can use. Sam is able to mix humor, great stories, and solid common sense advice to give us a book that provides a fun way to jump-start our attitude. An entertaining read that is filled with great stories and solid ideas for giving your attitude a real jump-start. - Stewart Clifford, Enterprise Media.

Sam Glenn energizes our worldwide audience with his profound sense of humor and gentle wisdom, making this giant in the motivation industry powerful and approachable. He is a sincere guest that truly delights our audience. Experience his energy first hand and feel it wake you up to the life you've always dreamed of. -Markandeya, "Life Without Limitation," EnergyTalkRadio.com

If there were an Attitude Hall of Fame, Sam Glenn and this book would be inducted into it! I'm no novice to books on attitude, enthusiasm and motivation, and without exception, A Kick In the Attitude is the best book I've ever read on how to take an enthusiastic attitude and crank up your life to a higher, more powerful and successful level! Sam's wisdom reminds the reader that attitude is a choice and that choice is a powerful emotional intelligence that transforms lives in the very moment we choose to engage in his 17 principles--and that's no mumbo jumbo! This book is smart, funny and packed with no-nonsense, real-world principles you can start implementing in your life immediately for super fast results. I'm proud to include Sam on my Life Board of Directors because he ignites passion and activates people potential like no one I've ever known. If there were an Attitude Hall of Fame, Sam would reign Attitude Rock Star!
--Anne Bruce, Professional Speaker and Author of Discover True North and How to Motivate Every Employee

Read this book! Get Re-Energized! -Bob Upgren, Leadership Expert, CEO, Cross Training, Author, The Story Teller...Who's Leading You?
Sam's energy is nothing like our organization(s) has ever experienced. I have seen Sam twice. The first time it was as our association's keynote presenter. The second time was for our MI, MPI chapter. Both times I witnessed him transform the entire audience to laughing so hard that there was not a dry eye in the crowd. He reminded us that a positive outlook on life is needed every day. -Jada Paisley, Michigan Golf Course Owners Association- MI Meeting Planners International

As the producers of the Motivation Show Conference, we are always in search of dynamic speakers and thought leaders who reinforce our message that motivated employees and customers result in higher corporate productivity and profits. That's why we were thrilled to include Sam Glenn as a speaker at our recent conference. His unique, high-energy presentation not only drew rave reviews from our attendees, but really hammered home the message that managers can get the results they want by positively adjusting the attitudes of their people. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to make positive workplace changes that will result in greater ROI. -Donna Oldenburg, Conference Director, The Motivation Show

This review is from: A Kick in the Attitude: An Energizing Approach to Recharge your Team, Work, and Life (Hardcover)
WOW! Sam Glenn kicked my Attitude! This book inspired us with basic principles and daily reminders to keep our attitude in check. We've already seen such positive results in our business and in our relationships. We didn't realize how much our attitude effected so much that we do and we can choose it to be positive or negative. We're getting everyone on our team this book. We totally recommend this to network marketing teams, sports teams, corporate groups to read as a team and apply all the principles as a whole! You will see Awesome, positive results.

This review is from: A Kick in the Attitude: An Energizing Approach to Recharge your Team, Work, and Life (Hardcover)
Funny, Insightful, and something every parent should purchase for their teenager.
A "MUST READ" at any age for anyone who feels stalled in their career, or their life.
Sam's approach to different situations and his humorous way of phrasing things is not only uplifting but also very intuitive.
If anyone you know needs an attitude adjustment, here is a painless way to kick them right where they need it, and have them thanking you afterward!
