    About this ebook

    212º The Extra Degree is a must-have in every personal and business library. A Simple Truths #1 bestseller, the concept is simple: At 211º, water is hot. At 212º, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. The one extra degree makes the difference.

    This analogy reflects the ultimate definition of excellence. The one extra degree of effort, in business and life, can separate the good from the great. The 212º concept is vividly illustrated for every aspect of your life through powerful stories that will inspire and motivate yourself or your team to the next level of success.

    We hope that you will join the people, businesses, and schools that have taken action and adopted the 212º concept and used the ONE extra degree to attain their goals.

      212 The Extra Degree - Sam Parker

      locomotive.

      ONE

      DEGREE

      Raising the temperature of water by one extra degree means the difference between something that is simply very hot and something that generates enough force to power a machine—a beautiful, uncomplicated metaphor that ideally should feed our every endeavor—consistently pushing us to make the extra effort in every task we undertake. 212˚ serves as a forceful drill sergeant with its motivating and focused message, while adhering to a scientific law—a natural law.

      It reminds us that seemingly small things can make tremendous differences. So simple is the analogy that you can stop reading right now, walk away with the opening thought firmly planted in your mind, and benefit from it for the rest of your life.

      That’s the purpose of this book—to help you internally define and take ownership of the most fundamental principle behind achieving life results beyond your expectations. This simple idea has a singular focus—an actionable focus.

      212˚

      It’s this dramatic—three numbers joined together to form one, crystallizing a message that absolutely assures life-altering, positive results for those who choose to apply it.

      Still looking for the silver bullet or quick fix to achieving great results?

      Stop.

      Reams of material are written and taught with an approach to reaching an end by close to effortless means—and more will be written. Advertising messages continually promote methods of achieving end results with little or no effort. And this material and these messages are so effective that in many cases people will work harder to avoid the extra effort than to actually apply the effort that will produce the originally desired outcome.

      Great materials with solid approaches to results have also been created and taught. Unfortunately, in so many cases, action on the part of the reader/student is the missing ingredient. And for those individuals who do take action, there is even a smaller number who make the extra effort necessary to reach the desired results that were originally set to be achieved. Books are purchased, programs are attended, and clubs are joined with wonderful intentions of putting forth the effort to achieve—only to end in another block of time invested half heartedly with appropriately corresponding results.

      Why?

      Why do you enter into any activity with anything but a commitment to achieve your objective of
