Product Description

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 want5
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.

Breeding the Right Attitude for Success4
It's easy to have a terrific, upbeat attitude when things are going well; maintaining that sunny disposition when the stock market and housing markets are in decline, and your business is barely getting by---that's the trick. Rajesh Setty's advice may sound corny to some cynics; like mere platitudes; but it's what many of us need to hear, especially in these difficult times.

Nobody wants to listen to people complain about their troubles; yet for some reason, many of those people don't realize that also applies to their sad state of affairs. Setty's gentle advice: Get over it. Instead of being so focused on your own personal dilemma, broaden the scope of your thinking to include helping others who are far less fortunate. It's a recurring theme of "giving" instead of only trying to "receive"; and it's a good message.

Setty's pep talk is short and sweet; it's not profound, but it's going to help a lot of people out, if they listen to his advice. Sometimes, the simplest strategies can produce stunning results. Give it a shot; it won't hurt.
