Stack the Logs!: Building a Success Framework to Reach Your Dreams
Facing adversity is a part of life. It is up to those challenged as to how these obstacles will impact their lives. In this inspiring new book, Stack the Logs! Building a Success Framework to Reach Your Dreams, Frank F. Lunn describes how his relationship with his late father and his young son's devastating diagnosis of leukemia led to a new formula for success based on a tried and true philosophy. The result is a remarkable lesson on how we can get the most out of life. Lunn, who has a successful entrepreneurial background, engages you from the very first pages. He describes an experience with his father, which provided the foundation for the book, and details his own son's frightening fight against cancer. Lunn tells of a simple note in a birthday card from his father about how "stacking the logs" one at a time -- making life choices, one by one -- was the only route to success and how it suddenly became clear this simplistic idea was truly profound. Frank F. Lunn was living a normal busy life when he received a phone call that stopped time: His eight-year-old son had just been diagnosed with leukemia. The next six months were a struggle for the entire Lunn family, as they battled with Frankie against a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, a cancer very similar to what ironically had defeated Lunn's father four years earlier. At the time of his son's illness, the premise for this book was still in its infancy. It is based on his father's homespun advice to "stack the logs," one decision and choice stacked on top of another, until success is achieved.

It took Lunn a while to realize just how simple yet profound his father's wisdom was. He eventually realized that success, whatever your definition is, is an accumulation over time rather than a singular event. It is about incremental achievement. As he reflected on his father's message from a note in a birthday card, Lunn realized there were seven essential components: (1) plan well, (2) keep an excellent forward thrust to objectives, (3) deal with disappointments and setbacks, (4) create a positive support structure, (5) stay positive and focused, (6) maintain moral character, and (7) keep on "Stacking The Logs!" Divided into twenty chapters, this powerful text expands on these basic principles, including planning for guaranteed success, and the power of Applied Incremental Advantage, which Lunn calls the "compound interest of success." It also tells what the number one reason people fail is, and how to overcome it, as well as programming yourself to become a champion with the techniques used by Olympic athletes and astronauts. Additionally, the book details the history of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where Frankie Lunn was treated. Lunn credits his "new family at St. Jude" for teaching him the gift of optimism in the face of adversity and how to weather personal storms and come back stronger.
