Simple Truths

Regardless of how much you may espouse that you love your job, there are just those moments of the day, those days, those weeks, or (heaven forbid!) those months when you job is not all that it’s cracked up to be.

STEP BACK! OPEN YOUR EYES!

Is it really the job that has changed or has how you think about your job changed? What you need is some extra motivation! This is where Simple Truths (www.simpletruths.com) has developed a niche.

Simple Truths’ has become a leading provider of action-provoking, motivational books and short films. Their catchy and true products have become uniquely suitable for gift-giving occasions in the corporate world as well as in the home. And, their moniker “Simple Truths” is a testament to the quotes and photographs that each of their books and films incorporates into an interesting and exciting message.

“It is better to light the candle than to curse the darkness.” Eleanor Roosevelt

“When I started the company, I was 52 years old. I had diabetes, lost my gall bladder, and most of my thryoid gland. But, I was convinced that the best was ahead of me.” McDonald’s founder, Ray Kroc.

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.” Henry Ford

I like these quotes because they certainly could inspire a person to dream and to keep achieving. The other great part is that they’re applicable to pretty much every business, every industry and every person. Still, Simple Truths has made selecting a gift very easy by separating the books based on the several themes – Leadership, Teamwork, Customer Service, Attitude, Selling, Inspiration, and Making a Difference. It is pretty clear that these themes would ring very well with certain divisions of a company – management, human resources and sales to name a few!

That line of thinking brings me to another part of Simple Truths which I liked – the personalization. I know that whether it be from co-workers or from family, many of the gifts we receive are pretty cheesy, and they show no thought involved at all. Hold on a minute! I know that some people may have been a little offended there, saying, “I put a lot of thought into what I got my boss/co-worker/family member!” Well, I’m not here to say that you didn’t. What I’m simply saying is that the gifts sometimes still make it seem like you did not put any effort at all into picking it out. Believe me, I’ve been on both ends of this unfortunate situation.

Simple Truths offers three very cool, very unique methods of personalization, so that not only will you be giving a great text to read and inspire, but you’ll also show that you got it just for that person, making them feel special. Personalization options range from adding an elegant letter to accompany the book, having a personalized message on a custom label in the inside front cover, or having the book actually signed by the author. Oh, and by the way, these are authors that include: Vince Lombardi, Jr., Ken Blanchard, Barbara Glanz, and Michael McMillian, among others!

So, my suggestion is to stop being “that person” who gives out the lame, thoughtless gifts each year. Inspire a colleague, friend or family member with a personalized book from Simple Truths.
