B through Y

Do you feel "stuck" in your current position? Are you facing a difficult task and not expected to succeed? Do you sometimes feel overmatched in business, school, sports, or social life? Underestimation is such a gift...if viewed this way. Underdogs have far more advantages than they give themselves credit for. What lies at most frustration is the time it takes to get over the hump. In a "microwave society" which promotes the A to Z quick fix, B through Y highlights the importance of the process. Interestingly, this is where the real magic happens! Often it's one action, characteristic or combination that transforms an underdog's situation. This book sparks inspiration as well as equips readers with unique and insightful strategies for advancement. Being the underdog isn't all that bad. Here's how to make it work for you.

Underdogs are given sympathy but not support. If you have the necessary means and resources easily available to you, then realizing your dreams and handling difficulties is far less treacherous. You can trust systems, traditions, and conventional practice. However when you're the underdog, relying on systems, procedures, common practices or even a hero to save the day is useless. Learn how individuals, companies, communities, and teams succeeded as underdogs by focusing on the process rather than instant results. This books effectively equips and inspires those facing seemingly impossible odds.
