Description

When Tom French turned seventy, his wife gave him a collection of notes from ninety-eight friends and colleagues. Each note shared the difference Tom had made in their lives, and he noticed that each note spoke to qualities and actions that Tom had set up as goals for himself in a mission statement written 20 years prior. He wrote this book to help other individuals see how living on a mission positively affects the lives of their work associates, family members, and friends. His own mission statement helped him begin to look forward to working, trust his intuition, and provide direction to his customers and employees.
"A Mentor's Letters" details Tom French's life as a businessman and how he developed habits for success. This book guides businessowners through writing their mission statements and trusting their intuitions. First, readers learn how to uncover their desire and overcome their fears so they can begin to move toward their goals. Then, readers will discover how to master risk-assessment and identify their core values and skills so they can begin to set intentions. Finally, readers will be guided through writing a mission statement. French has seen his own life improve greatly by living on mission, and hopes to help entrepreneurs learn to trust themselves and live on their own missions so they can appreciate the difference they make in the world.

Author Bio

Tom spent 35 years working in electronics, from manufacturing products to founding his own company, Remtek Corporation. Remtek became the second-largest supplier of heat-shrinkable products and was eventually bought out by Raychem. Tom then bought into a third-party warehouse company, FGS Warehouse, which provided warehousing and delivery for Fortune 500 companies within Northern California. When FGS was sold, Tom was presented with the opportunity to start a division for one of his successfully growing clients, HA Transportation. His impressive supply chain knowledge caught the attention of the division president at Hub Group, who hired Tom to start a logistics division. In four years, Tom and his team successfully grew the company from nothing to over $65 million. In 2007, he started Supply Chain Coach Inc. with the mission to teach corporations how to manage their supply chain using innovative cloud technology. The business was sold to Rockfarm, and today Tom is an independent consultant.
