Book Preview: #1 The gap is the space between where you are and where you want to be. Companies that close the gaps in business best, win.

#2 We all have gaps in life, between where we are and where we want to be. These gaps are human nature. Without them, we would have no hopes, dreams, or aspirations. But while there’s nothing more human than dreaming of leaping a gap, there are few things more disheartening than staring at a gap and never doing anything about it.

#3 To change your life, you must first understand why you tell the stories you do. To do that, you must go back much further than Mike did, to where the trouble really began.

#4 The campfire legacy lives on today. Even if you’ve never taken a single step past the city limits, you’ve experienced what lighting a few candles can do for the mood. Good storytellers are more attractive to potential mates and even have healthier offspring.
