Big Feats

Big Feats by Jeff Botch shows children what they can accomplish when they have a positive attitude and persevere even when things are difficult.

Jeff Botch developed and adapted a sales model known as ASAP to help children reach their highest potential. ASAP represents Attitude, Self Development, Action, and Persistence. In his story, Big Feats, Jeff explains each aspect of ASAP by using definitions and a clever stories. Learning new words is important for children on any level and his definition pages are key to helping young readers understand and grasp the new concepts. The four stories are simple and told in a way that entertains as well as educates.

In Attitude , we learn the outcome of our day depends on our behavior. If we act grumpy then chances are we will have a bad day, but in turn we can choose to be happy and things will likely go our way.

The story, Self Development teaches us to try new things and that sometimes it takes time for our abilities to develop. Readers learn that not everyone is good at everything, but over time their skills can be improved.

The world has a lot to offer and if we just sit back we will miss out. By taking Action, just like the story of the same name, we can enjoy something each day with our friends, families, or just on our own. Making a list is a handy reference tool which can serve as a reminder of the things we hope to achieve.

Finally, Persistence, and this is a biggie. Being persistent in all that you do will lead you towards reaching goals and excelling in all areas of your life. Many times, children and adults simply give up and never have the opportunity to reap the benefits that come from persistence.

Big Feats is a well thought out book and includes essential lessons that can be applied throughout life. I recommend picking up a copy. Available at Amazon.com.
