David Caruso wrote to me late
last week and said: "Hi Wayne - Really enjoying your email articles –
good luck on your continued fight.
I have just
released my first book ‘cheese pizza’ and I am keen and passionate to tell
the world about it.
I would be happy to offer 5 free copies to your readers/subscribers as part
of a promotion.
I would be happy to send you a copy beforehand – for your approval."
Thinking that this would be another "cheesy" fable book I thought I
had better read it before recommending it to
The Maverick Spirit readers. The books arrived this morning and I read
my copy over coffee - that's the benefit of
PowerReading - and it one of the best business books I have read in
years.
Cheese Pizza is a fictional story with real world undertones on
improving business and personal relationships. David could easily have been
inside my head with the insight he gives to the struggle that many
businesses take each day.
It is simple story with some worldly lessons, advice and inspiration.
If you are a small to medium business owner, or inspiring to be this book is
written for you. David has created a book for the weekend. He calls this his
Weekend Inspiring Narratives which are designed to motivate and drive the
everyday business owner which can be essentially read over the weekend, to
fit into the busy lifestyle of each business owner.”
David draws on 15 years of experience where he sometimes found himself flat,
unmotivated, and seeking answers or wondering what and why. When he felt
like that his business often suffered and conversely when he was on top of
his game, ready to conquer the world, his business prospered.
The story is based around, John, a fictional character who has lost his way
in the shape of his business and his personal relationships.
“ If one does not know to which port they are sailing no wind is
favourable.”
On the brink of despair he comes across an unlikely source of inspiration, a
local pizza shop owner and through a number of impromptu conversations,
rediscovers a new lease of life. The solutions are inspiringly simple yet
are the most often overlooked in times of crisis.
Without giving too much away, the self realisation of the Power of Now,
and the fact that we ALL should be enjoying the present this book is well
worth the time to read.
You can get a copy at
http://www.davidcaruso.com.au
And I have 4 to give away - I am keeping mine - it's that good! All you need
to is share a story with me about living in the now and I will despatch a
copy of cheese pizza to the first four people who write in.
ACTION STEP: Spend 30 minutes today reading an inspiring book - start
with cheese pizza.

P.S. £2,150 pizza A
chef has flown more than 1,000 miles to create the world's most expensive pizza
for a St Valentine's Day meal. The £2,150 treat by Glasgow restaurateur
Domenico Crolla will be topped with edible gold, champagne-soaked caviar and
lobster marinated in the finest cognac.
Italian lawyer Maurizio Morelli, from Rome, who paid up for the pizza after
winning a charity auction on eBay in November flew Crolla to Rome to prepare the
12in pizza as a Valentine's surprise for Mr Morelli's wife, Sabrina.
P.P.S. Did you know that Tom Monaghan, the founder of the
Domino’s Pizza chain sold his takeaway chain in 1998 for an estimated $1
billion

Feedback: I have selected just a couple of comments today
from fellow Maverick Spiriters..
and I hope to hear from you soon with your words of encouragement, wisdom and
resolve.
Hi Wayne,
I was just thinking of you today and wondering when I'd be back on the
mailing list, and here is the Maverick Spirt
in my inbox! Great to hear from you. I like Brian's story - thanks for sharing
it. I think I'll put it into one of my newsletters one of these days (with
credit of course).
Kind regards,
Marlene
Wayne
Your story "LOVE IN A PAPER BAG" brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful
message it sends.
George Gianniotis
Oh. My God, Wayne, what a beautiful story. I am so grateful that you and
Brian shared it – here I return it to you, no paper bag but ‘all pink and fuzzy’
Molly's Dads Story:
"It was Molly's job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning
before he headed off to work.
One day, in addition to his lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag. This
one was worn and held together with tape, staples and paper clips.
Thanks Wayne.
Molly's Dads Story worked like a litre of eye drops - beautiful!
