In this illustrated business fable designed to give people the faith, courage, and confidence to win in today's tough economic climate, Jon Gordon shares an inspiring tale about Gordy, a pampered goldfish who gets swept out to sea. Desperate for food, Gordy meets a kind shark who teaches him the ultimate lesson--Goldfish wait to be fed. Sharks go find food. Gordy also learns that the difference between a full and empty stomach is one’s faith, beliefs, and actions. Gordy learns he can't control the events in his life, but he can control how he responds, and that, in turn, determines the outcome.
