There's Always a Way : How to Develop a Positive Mindset and Succeed in Business and Life

Most people know fitness guru Tony Little for his trademark ponytail and shouts of “You can do it!” while astride of the Gazelle exercise machine.  What many people don’t know is how many bad things the man popularly known as “America’s Personal Trainer” has had to overcome to become one of the most financially successful figures ever to appear on television, selling over $3 billion worth of products worldwide. Now in his first business book THERE’S ALWAYS A WAY (Wiley; January 2010; $24.95; 978-0-470-55841-6; Hardcover), Tony is tackling the literary world with the same high energy and enthusiasm with which he approaches everything else in his life.

Tony reveals his very own rags-to-riches story -- and of how he has used the hard knocks of his own life to develop unique selling strategies, become a successful businessman and a better human being. Most people would give up and assume their life would always be the same, but Tony Little decided that these incidents would not decide the course of his life. Tony is living proof that no matter what obstacles you’re facing, and no matter what you crave the most, there is always a way to achieve it. THERE’S ALWAYS A WAY contains practical advice culled from Tony’s often wild and improbable experiences, which will help readers navigate the tough business world, as well as live a quality life.

Tony recounts his personal life story, from teenage runs-ins with the law that resulted in his mother shipping him off from their home in Ohio to live with an uncle in Florida, to finding success as a body builder, only to be derailed by a near fatal car accident – then another.  The trauma and its aftermath resulted in four facial surgeries, more than 200 stitches, two herniated discs, a torn rotator cuff, a dislocated knee, an addiction to pain killer and a weight gain of more than 50 pounds. But from the ruins of his broken body came an unrelenting desire to change his life. What ensued was the creation of a fitness empire and tremendous success created from a combination of determination and a willingness to take risks.

Using the backdrop of his own, at times, bizarre experiences to illustrate a roadmap to success, Tony explains how to use fears and insecurities to sharpen one's selling game and provides secrets for overcoming negativity, thinking out of the box, creating a buzz, exploiting humor, making the customer into a star, and achieving peak selling performance. A definite read during these challenging times, There’s Always a Way is an inspirational and motivational book that demonstrates how to change your mindset and achieve your professional and personal goals.
