The Diamond Project: Rediscover the Gems Within

Book excerpt: You can develop diamonds. If you've ever wondered if there is more to work than just going through the motions, you'll relate to Mason. You see, Mason has struggled for a long time to find satisfaction in his work. Day after day, he goes through the motions, following the "another day, another dollar" mentality. Until one day. The day, he attends Sophie's new project proposal. She nicknames it "The Diamond Project." Mason notices something different in the way Sophie presents the project. He can't put his finger on it. He asks if she'll explain it over lunch. One lunch turns into a series of lunches as Sophie shares how she became a "diamond miner." Join Mason as he follows Sophie's lead. Her simple yet often overlooked suggestions take Mason on a journey of discovery that allow him to develop his own diamonds, as well as the diamonds of those around him. He discovers the same principles are effective at home, in his community, and at work. He begins to realize that there's more to work, and life, than just punching a clock. Mason's journey in The Diamond Project will help you understand the following: • how to develop your diamonds and help other people develop theirs, • how to give yourself permission to be truly successful, • how to ask the right success questions of the right people, • the importance of environment, and • the diamond equation. Join Mason on his journey to becoming a diamond miner because if he can do it, you can too!
