Recession makes it hard for everyone. Rising unemployment, weak stock markets, tough credit markets, weak demand, fierce competition for that weak demand, uncertainty about when this will all end are just a start. It seems like there are just too many things out of our control during a recession. It takes a lot to make a significant difference in a good economy. In a bad economy, it takes a significant effort just to produce something meaningful. Rather than going all out (when it is MOST required, ) most people choose to give up quickly, thinking nothing will happen anyway. In other words, they choose to participate in a recession. While this is generally true, there is one thing that is under our control-to have an UPBEAT attitude that's recession-proof. How we survive through the recession and thrive will depend largely on what each of us did before we reached this place and what every one of us will do during these times.

Simple and Powerful ideas to design your life the way you want,
By
This review is from: Upbeat: Cultivating the Right Attitude to Thrive in Tough Times (Paperback)
We all have dreams in life like starting a business, becoming financially free, be healthy etc, but something is inhibiting us from achieving them. The years seem to roll by, recessions come and go and we are still left dreaming.Rajesh's little book Upbeat! shows us how to turn those dreams into reality and be upbeat throughout the process irrespective of the external circumstances. His message is simple. 1. You don't need to do super duper extraordinary things to turn your dreams into reality, but do a few simple things consistently and extraordinarily. [..Read one page from an inspiring book daily, do 15 minutes of yoga/walk/excericse daily..] 2. The biggest enemy inhibiting us is not the economy nor the gazillion "bad things" that happens to us, but it is the "enemy within". We inhibit ourselves by the thoughts we have, the bad things we say about ourselves to ourselves, by brooding too much over our past failures. The book shows us how to first manage ourselves and our moods. 3. Once we can manage ourselves, we will become competent to manage our projects (plans to turn dreams into realities), manage our network and get good help to execute the projects. For a small book readable in 30 to 45 minutes, this book is packed with potent ideas to help you take action right away and start seeing changes in your life.

Read this 3x already. Honest and direct.,
This review is from: Upbeat: Cultivating the Right Attitude to Thrive in Tough Times (Paperback)
There are a TON of 'self help' books out there that get into the philosophy of why we're not happy, but they don't offer simple direction on what we should be thinking, when we should be thinking it and what the positive results will be if we act properly on those thoughts, moods and attitudes. Most of all, they don't come in a format that reads more like a manual (which we all need) that can be read over and over, for the reader to discover something new each time.The first time I read the book a few sentences hit me like a ton of bricks. I wrote them on a piece of paper above my desk. The next time I read the book (1st sign that it is a valuable book!!) I found 3 more sentences that made me literally change the way I was interacting with people that day. The results? More than I expected. If you are an entrepreneur or ever want to be successful in your personal OR professional life, read this book. Act on it in your DAILY. Then read it again 2 weeks later. Did you see better results? I did. Rajesh knows what he is talking about. A great author in this space doesn't just study life's interactions and the success of others, a great author lays out the blueprint that worked from his own successes and lessons learned from failure...what an honest concept that makes me want to stay upbeat.
