Whether we are raising a family, working as a waitress or a struggling entrepreneur or struggling to find a job or simply trying to maintain a job in a cubicle, the 12 lessons Carolyn shares with us are brilliant flashes of genius.

"I will take attitude over aptitude any day of the week." Carolyn Gable

As a former Finance Director, I lobbied hard to always, always hire the very best. Sadly, often I had to look beyond our industry in order to find the best attitude. Yes, it takes more time to hire, and yes, it takes more time to look beyond your industry, but the effort is time well invested in the organization.

Looking outside the box and finding the "best of the best" lead our team to a new level of excellence. Attitude is contagious. Remember, when you are hiring you are hiring a team member, not just a person with technical expertise, you are putting in place an anchor, a human anchor if you will - IF the anchor has a solid attitude, the anchor will hold fast and keep the team together. Hire the very best, take the time and hire a great attitude. Look beyond the industry especially in these changing times. The linear background is pretty on paper but may not best serve your team.

Carolyn's words of wisdom are needed more than ever in this new business climate of accountability. Her emphasis upon honesty, her high standards of excellence to be your own person, mind your own business all support very funded and well built optimism to "Expect A Miracle".

Carolyn walks her talk. When I met her she was near her walkway. A hot day where my make up was literally melted off and yet Carolyn looked very cool and crisp. Her personal energy was shining through but with no sign of the heat exhaustion that I was feeling. Best yet, she talked with you. She asked insightful questions and listened for the answers.

She was amazing because she knew exactly who I was. I had signed her book a couple of times. I never expected that she really read my replies. I knew the walkers would but the real woman behind the gate of Expect of Miracle! Wow!

As a mother myself, I appreciate the chapter "Look Good to Feel Good" not just for myself for also for my children. Society "accepts" any appearance. Raising the bar for children and their personal appearance is always a challenge.
