Book Description

When Kathy Aaronson was eight years old, she set up a small roadside stand next to her family’s farm and began selling vegetables that weren’t up to supermarket standards (too small or too misshaped). Her entrepreneurial drive was sparked by a need to connect with people, and in the process of learning to sell successfully she learned about how to find and provide value to any type of customer. In The Golden Apple, Aaronson uses the lessons learned at her produce stand and applied later in executive sales to illustrate nine lessons that can help readers turn their careers and lives around. Using humor and practical, step-by-step guidance, this book will teach readers how to: get the attention of busy, distracted client prospects; how to do business confidently and well with anybody – even rude, crude client prospects; how to use stories to successfully sell products, services or ideas, and how to develop business relationships that will protect their careers in any economy. With the Golden Apple as their guide, readers will be confident they have the tools to make success easier than failure, in business and in life.

Kathy Aaronson, originally from New Hampshire, is the founder and CEO of the executive recruitment and sales training firm, The Sales Athlete, Inc., with offices in Los Angeles and New York City. A nationally recognized expert on executive sales, Kathy helps companies increase revenue and market share, and, for 30 years, assisting individuals in finding career happiness and wealth.

    5 out of 5 stars a great source of wisdom.......2004-02-28

    Golden harvest contains the words of wisdom spoken by White Eagle through the mediumship of Grace Cooke. White Eagle speaks from a higher level of spiritual consciousness than we have attained, having reached that level after the same struggle that each of us must pass through. Based on the teachings of Jesus, White Eagle gives us knowledge and advice with love and compassion in full knowledge of the difficulties we have to deal with every day. Each of us is a child of God having within us the potential of Christhood. We must not devote too much time to material things but make our prime goal seeking the Kingdom of God. We are here on earth to gain spiritual awareness and God-consciousness. It is the act of living with our fellow man that brings us wisdom. We have to control and discipline our desires and emotions and to rise above the limited consciousness of our physical life.

    If we are to serve we have to be able to withstand pressure and be well tested so we don't break down under stress. Each time we are tested and stand up to it, we advance along the path. Words alone are not enough; we need to provide practical service to humanity even if it means dealing with a person to whom we are not drawn. We have to learn to live as a center of love, compassion and good will to all creatures and to keep our thoughts good, constructive and loving. We have to control our thoughts and emotions. Many times we will face injustice but God has led us there for a purpose. In all situations we are challenged to show love. Without the temptations and challenges that life brings, the spirit of Christ in us could never develop. Making our lives easier would prevent us learning lessons.

    Our thoughts should always be positive because what we think today we will become tomorrow. If we want a better world, we must start to create it now. We can influence countless lives if we hold firmly to the right course. We should not look for our reward in material and earthly terms but in spiritual terms. Every time we think lovingly, kindly, and constructively and help our fellow man, we progress along the path of love and sow good karma. We have to learn spiritual law by right living, right thinking and right action. We must be on the look out for the meaning behind every event and welcome every experience.

    When the soul is still and peaceful we can hear the voice within the heart. To hear it, learn to be still. This deep inner peace is the source of all our strength and guidance. From the heart of peace comes right action but we must separate ourselves from worldly thoughts and desires. Nothing but our own thoughts and feelings can separate us from Him. Our life on earth is over burdened with activity. We must learn to become aware of the inner life, the place of spirit deep within us. When you go to sleep at night let your last thought be of praise and thankfulness to God. Keep your thoughts always fixed upon the good, the true, the beautiful God-life. We are careless with our thoughts in the belief that we can hide them from others. But in the realms of spirit there is no hiding of thoughts. All thoughts are known so keep them pure. Whatever problem lies before you can be solved by love; the way to work is always by love and never by force in any shape or form. No man must force his own individual views on other men. To love them is the only way to win them.

    If these words strike a chord in your heart, with this book you will draw on a source of great wisdom.
