I hope the above strategies and tactics help you:

• understand change
• survive change
• cope with change
• and optimize change

Managing change is much better than just being swept about by it. Proactively managing our situations may, regardless of whether we wanted this change or not, place us in a more positive space than we would have been in had our course not been altered.

Being positive and staying positive can be difficult. If one is fearful, it is helpful to feel the fear in one’s body and to feel it dissolve, so decisions are coming from a place of strength rather than coming from fear or a place of weakness.

People respond to situations differently. The thoughts and techniques I presented in this book are a culmination of my own experiences, my reading, and my teaching of business strategy. The book is meant to be helpful and is not meant to be derisive to anyone who believes strongly in the power of prayer or who believes in preordained destiny. It is meant merely to add to your tool box of skills. In that regard, I hope I have been successful. The ride of life can be truly joyful.

Enjoy the magic carpet ride!!!
