Recommended Reading From HospitalityEducators.Com

Swim with the Sharks: Without Being Eaten Alive; Outsell, Outmanage, Outmotivate and Outnegotiate Your Competition
by Harvey Mackay

by Dr. John Hogan, CHE CHA CMHS
  Swim with the Sharks: Without Being Eaten Alive; Outsell, Outmanage, Outmotivate and Outnegotiate Your Competition
by Harvey Mackay (called "Mr. Make-Things-Happen" by Fortune Magazine) Harvey MacKay has written a number of best selling books on business, networking, successful living and enjoying life.

  2. Goal Setting
  3. Concentration
  4. Perseverance
That's all it takes to be successful.

We all need a goal and something to reach towards. Think about it

Hospitality Tip of the WeekTM:
Focus on Thinking

One of the basic causes for all the trouble in the world today is that people talk too much and think too little. They act impulsively without thinking. I always try to think before I talk. Margaret Chase Smith (1897 - 1995) Senator from Maine
