t's August already, and the mercury is topping 115
o
here in Las Vegas.
With the sweltering heat, we are indeed experiencing the hottest and
most sultry days of the year, known as the "dog days of summer." Named
from the constellation Sirius, the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun and
responsible for lazy days "dogging" around and feeling "dog-tired" from the
hot weather.
Europeans understand the rhythm of life, taking the entire month of
August off, closing the factories and take the family to the ocean and lake
for a much needed vacation. It's a time to recharge the internal battery and
restore tired spirits with rest and relaxation — sure to inspire even the worst
workaholic among us.
A fun summer read from Andy Andrews can help get you through those
dog days and inspire you as well. Andy is hailed by a New York Times
reporter as "someone who has quietly become one of the most influential
people in America." The Final Summit, the official follow-up to the New
York Times bestselling book The Traveler's Gift, is a timely mystery
adventure providing guidance and insight, custom-tailored for the problems
of today's modern world.
As business owners, we must push through our own fears to survive and
thrive in difficult times. Andy's writing offers us insight into what it takes to
do just that. It focuses on leadership, personal excellence and the
importance of courage for those who lead others, since they must push
through their own fears in order to inspire those in their circle of influence.
So, why don't you get a little rejuvenated by getting "doggone lazy" and
enjoy the last rays of the hot summer sunshine.
