John knows he has too much to lose if he doesn t find a way to improve as a manager, spouse, and as a father. While on a business trip, John stops to visit his sister, Tara, at her apple orchard.

 Future visits reveal to John the need to be more intentional in the choices he makes and to be more proactive about change. He realizes that whether the goal is a successful career, a meaningful life, or even award-winning apples, letting something grow on its own rarely brings the desired result.

It will serve as your step-by-step guide to create and manage an environment ripe for success, so you can experience the thrill and sense of accomplishment that comes with getting award-winning results.
