Gas.Health care. There's no hiding the ugly truth about the way things are these days. 'Things' are terrible. Look at all those indicators: Inflation. Unemployment. Housing. Automobiles. Stocks. Income. And yet. There is a Chinese proverb that says, Fall down seven times, get up eight. Right now, as your co-workers, neighbors, friends and family members swallow their daily dose of bad news and see only bad times ahead, take a deep breath. While everyone else is giving in or giving up, your moment has arrived. Whether you want to gain ground in your corporate job, have recently been laid off, or are flirting with starting a business, a downturn can be the right time to charge ahead. Best-selling author Fawn Germer shows us how the one variable we can control - ourselves -- is our most powerful weapon in the battle for prosperity and success. Germer documents that now is not the time to stop, but to accelerate. Germer's theory: Expect the worst, and you'll get it. When everyone else gives up, the window is wide open for those who don't. You can profit from a failing economy. If you give yourself an inch to fail, you will fail. You never know how close you are to turning the corner until you turn the corner. Companies are crying out for leadership, so stand up and lead. When you fall down, get back up  FAWN GERMER once had a boss tell her she wasn't going anywhere. Germer showed him. This bestselling author of five books has interviewed hundreds of the nation's most famous leaders and trailblazers to get their strategies and insights on success for her bestselling books. Germer lives by the motto, Fall Down Seven Times, Get up Eight. She is a four-time Pulitzer-nominated journalist who wrote for The Washington Post, U.S. News and World Report and The Miami Herald. When she left journalism to write her first book, she encountered every obstacle imaginable. Her book was rejected by every major U.S. publisher, then released the day before 9\/11. Germer's perseverance made that book a bestseller and turned Oprah Winfrey into a fan. When Oprah told the world how very inspiring Germer's writing was, her speaking career took off. She now keynotes for major corporations and organizations around the globe.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49897425830161,"sku":"CIN0979546699G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53251495395601,"sku":"NIN9780979546693","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0979546699.jpg?v=1751331456"},{"product_id":"mustang-sallies-book-fawn-germer-9780979546662","title":"Mustang Sallies","description":"Mustangs were the original wild horses of the West: tough, agile, quick to learn-and unwilling to run with the herd. And, like the daring woman in the famous song, today's Mustang Sallies question the rules, challenge the status quo, and dare to make a little noise. Award-winning journalist Fawn Germer has written an engaging, provocative guide for women determined to charge ahead and succeed on their own terms. Based on original interviews with more than 50 world-famous trailblazers-from Hillary Clinton to Erin Brockovich to Martina Navratilova and Susan Sarandon. Now, every woman can harness the tools to becoming a Mustang Sally: - Be comfortable with discomfort - Don't sell out-compromise - Win arguments without making enemies - Manage the emotional challenges of leaving the herd behind - Create a sisterhood of support The world can slow a woman down, but the words of these wise mustangs hold the key to inspiration, motivation, and personal achievement. From Publishers Weekly: Mustangs are wild, tough and agile. Mustang Sallies are too, says one-time Washington Post reporter Germer (Hard Won Wisdom). They don't go along to get along at work, and that can bring troubles. Germer's advice, based on her own experience and her interviews with women as diverse as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Martina Navratilova and Susan Sarandon, is: Don't mute yourself, be bold, take your power and use it for yourself. Germer intersperses short chapters quoting directly from notable women she has interviewed with thematically organized chapters (I Am What I Am; Choose Your Battles; Verbal Combat) exploring various aspects of how to thrive as an independent-minded, outspoken, self-assured woman. Germer's advice is specific and illuminating: for instance, verbal sparring is normal in the business world, she notes, with clear advice on how to engage in battle. If you've ever felt judged and isolated at work for being who you are, Germer's book offers support, encouragement and strategies for coming through with your self and your goals intact.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50168555897105,"sku":"CIN0979546664VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374994133265,"sku":"CIN0979546664G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53490266013969,"sku":"NIN9780979546662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0979546664.jpg?v=1751299042"},{"product_id":"work-life-reset-book-fawn-germer-9780983877219","title":"Work-Life RESET","description":"Your computer slows down.
