Learn to see Time in a different way. Don’t waste it, of course, but don’t rush to use it, either. Haste, impatience, not prioritizing, and a lack of attention to detail can make time slip out of your fingers faster than you might realize.
Try to keep Inspiration in your life. Find people who can support you, and put yourself in their company as much as possible. Find a mentor, and then be a mentor to someone else. Take advantage of Networks to maintain your outlook and to boost your business and personal life.
Finally, remember the most important part of the Full Tank Life: You! Always be genuine. Do your best with whatever you have at the moment. Work around any roadblock you might find. And above all, don’t listen to naysayers: if your tank is full, you can do this.
As faith-based business-slash-inspirational books go, “The Full Tank Life” is okay. Not sterling, not great, but not horrible, either; just okay.
Author, pastor, and “Renaissance man” Tankard has a good premise here but, though his advice is solid, it’s similar to a lot of other books. He offers personal anecdotes to illustrate his points but those tales often seem to be elevated, which could smack of boasting. There’s a good amount of repetition here, too, and the lengthy Bible teachings sometimes feel like filler.
To the good, however, the information offered is rock-solid. The book is written in an easy step-by-step format (although Tankard says you don’t have to read it that way). And there are helpful worksheets included with each chapter, which allow readers to sort through their thoughts and ideas.
