¿The Life of a Hotelier¿ follows the author on his journey through the hospitality industry. His stories are designed to give unique and impactful anecdotes from behind the scenes of the hotel industry. Anyone who has ever worked at a hotel, stayed at a hotel or lived the life of a ¿Road warrior¿ can appreciate his true tales of the good, the bad, and the unbelievable. The hotel business is a fast-paced life, where days run into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. The doors never close, and the guests keep coming. Addresses may change of the players in the game and the employees may change, but most people in the hotel industry would not think of having a career in any other profession.

As the 20th century came to a close, a petite, stay-at-home mom took on a giant that was poisoning our young girls.What started as a gathering of concerned parents and girls around a small kitchen table has now grown to be one of the largest scout-type organizations in the world. The Garibays' story chronicles the twenty-five-year journey of American Heritage Girls from its humble beginnings, the insurmountable problems, and the joy of seeing the providential hand of God map out every detail.Patti Garibay knew something was not right, and after seeing a shocking agenda, she knew it was time to take a stand against the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. Though the battle was intense at times, Patti and her husband Pat were not prepared for all that God had planned to do with a small ember of passion.Seeing lives changed and making sure each girl knows they are loved was enough for Patti to suit up and get in the battle. Armored with trust and obedience, Patti's transparent and vulnerable true story resonates with others who have a passion for making a difference yet struggle with the fear of inadequacy. With Christ, all things are possible.

We¿re convinced that most people don¿t prepare to the level they could, so they don¿t often end up with the results they¿d like to have. We believe preparation is a giant overlooked factor in achieving success and getting better and faster results.How well do you prepare? Do you think there is another level for you? If so, please read on.Preparation pays! It involves thinking, which is one of the powerful secrets we share with our clients so they get much more favorable results. One particularly critical aspect of thinking we teach to our clients is preparing for the future with a balance of ¿doing it now¿ (including Production Before Perfection¿see No. 25) and the discipline of delayed gratification (see No. 24). Delayed gratification is such an effective concept because it encompasses so many angles¿such as long-term thinking, putting in effort up front, doing Favors in Advance (see No. 41), and nourishing relationships¿that yield amazing results down the line. It¿s certainly a win to live in the present, and I do. Yet this book is about winning, winning more, and winning bigger in the future. That¿s why yoüll want to not just read it; yoüll want to study it and put it in the hands of every team member and every young person in your life.
