About this audiobook
How are you doing right now? Is your business or your life Up, Down, or Sideways? Discover what you can do to succeed during unpredictable times.
If you're anything like me, you've probably experienced days-maybe months or years-when you feel as if you are being swept along by life. Bigger forces that you really can't control directly impact your everyday existence and long-term success. There was a time in my life when that truth hit me like a ton of bricks. In the span of just one year, I was diagnosed with cancer, my business plummeted during an economic downturn, and my investments tanked. In the end, however, those three events turned out to be a gift to me. They gave me fresh insights about what really mattered.
This audio book is the answer to those questions based on what I've learned. It's about the mind-sets and methods that enable us to succeed when times are good, bad, or in between. You'll discover:
- the Survivor's Secret
- how to break through the common barriers to success
- how attitude and outlook impact performance
- why continuous innovation is key
- and much more.
You'll learn nine predictable, ever-present non-negotiables of life. These ideas will change your life for the better because you'll know what to do during those Up, Down, or Sideways years.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nice book about keeping things in perspective during all of life's ups and downs. Clearly written from a Christian perspective, but not preachy at all. It also includes points and helps that are not from "Christian" sources (gasp), but quite relevant and helpful. The tips include success tips for your personal life as well as your business.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Description: Up, Down, or Sideways is a self-help book dedicated to helping you get through your up, down, and sideways struggles in life and success. In today's economy, as unpredictable and scary as it may seem, Mark Sanborn shows you how to take control of your life and career, no matter how uncontrollable the present and future seem.Review: I am sort of a closet fan of reading other people's opinions on how to live life to the fullest. So, when I got the opportunity to read Mark Sanborn's new book, I grabbed it. At first glance, I noted the simplicity of the overall design, bright enough to draw your attention, but styled in a very professional way. I think that this setup gets more attention in the self-help/motivation genre because people want a certain level of professionalism; especially if the book is supposed to help them in some way. As for content, I liked Mark Sanborn's philosophies and realistic perspective on life. I felt like he was talking just to me, almost like we were going through the same things, or some variation. I enjoyed his tips and methods for getting through life's unpredictable times and optimistically dealing with personal economics; his own experiences were included which I thought was a plus. The sections on optimism and gratitude were particularly eye-opening, and all the material could be applied to any public, private, or work relationship. I have found myself practicing some of the skills he described, including learning from other people's mistakes and accepting "good shoulds". Overall, I was pleased with Mark Sanborn's take on life and success, and I may even pick up his other books.Rating: On the Run (4/5)*** I received this book from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
