Seize the Day : How to Achieve Excellence in a World of Mediocrity...Every Day Book

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them." - George Bernard Shaw

Creating the circumstances for achieving the extraordinary is a daunting and overwhelming prospect to most of us - whether pursuing professional success or high performance in personal goals. Overwhelming to most of us, but to Danny Cox, who's taken his cue from some of history's greatest achievers from Shaw to Edison, achieving the extraordinary is a given. And in Seize The Day, he shares his wisdom and success stories, showing us the path to high performance in seven achievable steps.

"The quest for high performance," notes Danny, "is an ongoing journey, a pursuit that is the source of tremendous pleasure and gratification. It's the feeling an athlete experiences in victory, the sensation an actor feels during a standing ovation, the 'rush' I got as a test pilot when I first broke the sound barrier."

But, as Danny insists, you don't have to be a world-famous athlete or actor, a high-powered CEO or a swashbuckling entrepreneur to benefit from his message. Seize The Day is for everyone who's been seeking to make high performance a regular, daily expectation in their lives - professional or personal.

There are many companies who want to know Danny's secret to success. He is one of America's busiest speakers, sharing his knowledge and experience with thousands of individuals a year. His list of satisfied audiences is typed on two pages, three columns to a page - in very small print.
