An Incredibly Moving Story Of Someone Who Refuses To Quit

Of the 1,000 books I have read on Success/Motivation/Inspiration this one is the finest. John Foppe is a living example of someone who became a winner in life, when it would have been much easier to be a whiner. His story will inspire you, impact your thinking, and most of all provide you with inspiration to take your life to a whole new level.He's a grateful young man who's overcome so much, and someone I'm proud to know. Whether you are in sales, leadership, a student, or in transition, this book will inspire you to take action.The best part of reading John's book is that you will have an amazing story to share with others. They will be glad you did. I know I am.

Disarming the excuses

Clearly, "What's your excuse? making the most of what you have" is a must read for everyone. This book is John Foppe's life, his story, but most importantly it is his message. And, his message is simple -- all things are within reach, but we must do the reaching. "What's your excuse?" will have you laughing, then crying, and then laughing again. Snuck in the middle of all the stories are wonderful teaching points that will give fresh insight to operating in this hectic world. John has disarmed all the excuses that I had, and I believe it will have a great impact on your life as well.

Great for teens and adults

This is a book that you read and then you go back and take your time reading it again. The first time through you are so caught up in what John's story is that you might not take the time to reflect on how to apply it to your own situation. "What's Your Excuse" is a book that I find personally rewarding and can't wait to share chapter by chapter with my small study group. This is a book I would recommend to anyone who wants a "refresher" on what is good about life!

This is the best...........

As one who has read extensively in the category of "motivational and inspirational", I can say with confidence that "What's Your Excuse?" is destined to become THE recommended book for anyone seeking a better life. In this book, John offers an open and honest appraisal of his own situation, which helps us to reveal our own. Through his own stories and examples he clarifies the principles and suggestions that will help us find our way to a fuller and more meaningful life. This book is a life changer!
