How passion in your work life can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary

Mark Sanborn met his postman, Fred, just after he moved to Denver. Fred knocked on his door, introduced himself and welcomed him to the neighbourhood. He also asked Sanborn about himself and how he wanted his mail handled while he was away. Needless to say, Sanborn was shocked. He asked Fred more about his job and how he approached it. Fred's answers inspired him to develop motivational seminars promoting Fred's attitude and approach to life. To embody the Fred philosophy is to realise and practise that---Everyone can make a difference--Success is built on good relationships--You must continually create value for others and it doesn't have to cost anything--You can reinvent yourself whenever you want. In this succinct and inspiring guide, Sanborn shows us how we can all truly make a difference everyday and become a 'Fred', as well as how to recognise, reward and attract Freds into our lives.

" "The Fred Factor" is a powerful, poignant parable of success. It's about going the extra mile and always doing more than is expected. It is revolutionary, yet simple. It is life changing."
--Brian Tracy, author of "Focal Point "and "Goals: How to Get Everything You Want-- Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible

This is a quick read, but the message is a good one. Fred the postie shows how "Passion in our lives can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary". Fred delivers mail - a job most would think as drudgery, but Fred knows that his job is important, and even more than that, his attitude is important. This is a lovely parable with a moral you can take away and incorporate into your own life - you can make a difference with a great attitude.
