Unique, New Book Provides Directions for Highly Fruitful Solutions to Meet and Upgrade All of Life's Spiritual and Material Needs by Using Your Currently Available Resources

WESTON, Mass., June 10, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- The 400 Year Project founder, Donald W. Mitchell, launches his latest book, Excellent Solutions: How to Apply God's Wisdom for Greater Fruitfulness. Two versions are available – one for nonprofit organizations and the other for for-profit companies. The 400 Year Project is a Christian initiative to increase global fruitfulness by at least 20 times.
News reports reveal that many people lack some of the basics for sustaining a healthy and productive life: clean water, food, medicine, shelter, education, and a job. Some people who are well supplied with the basics recall times when their own circumstances were more favorable than now and are discouraged about the future. Others are concerned that some people seem determined to harm as many other people as possible and personally live in fear.
Excellent Solutions shows that there is more than sufficient time, effort, physical resources, and money available to greatly improve the spiritual, moral, health, emotional, and physical circumstances of almost everyone on Earth. While some make that argument based on redistributing what those with more have to those who have less, Excellent Solutions encourages, instead, upgrading what we all do and how we conduct our lives to provide such benefits.
Mitchell described the writing experience as follows: "God through the Holy Spirit provided the revelations and inspirations that made this book possible. I happily give Him thanks and gratefully acknowledge that He deserves all the credit for the remarkable methods He revealed to me. Please join me in praising Him!"

First Review of Excellent Solutions 

Foreword Clarion Review

Five Stars (out of Five)

Mitchell avoids narrow ideas, encourages positive thinking, and sets large goals to make the biggest possible spiritual and social impact.

In Excellent Solutions: Nonprofit Edition, Donald Mitchell proposes to prove “that there is more than sufficient time, effort, physical resources, and money available to greatly improve the spiritual, moral, health, emotional, and physical circumstances of almost everyone on Earth.” That is a significant challenge for an author to take on, but Mitchell’s thorough and optimistic presentation provides a commendable and thoughtful plan for nonprofit organizations to follow as they strive to make important and lasting impacts on individuals and society.

Mitchell breaks his process into four stages, each with its own section: “Set Goals for Excellent Solutions,” “Eliminate ‘Stalled’ Thinking,” “Create and Implement an Excellent Solution,” and “Create and Implement an Excellent Solution By Using a Second Method.”

“Excellent solutions” are those that reach beyond simplistic answers and blossom exponentially into far-reaching, positive actions without significantly increasing the initial effort. He begins with the
essential element of goal-setting, but as is the case with all thirty-one of his lessons, Mitchell stresses the need to think in terms of goals that are not limited by negativity or narrow focus.

Mitchell excels at turning potentially complex ideas into easily understood steps that he reinforces with biblical passages, personal examples, and engaging explanations that communicate his points clearly without coming across as condescendingly simplistic. Rather, his style conveys the feeling of a favorite uncle teaching a child about important life lessons while giving constant encouragement. For example, near the end of one teaching segment, he writes, “When you have finished the five tasks, please accept my congratulations for having done so much valuable thinking.”

Biblical references and scripture passages abound, and Mitchell craftily uses them to support his concepts and to emphasize that his plan is biblically sound. His passion for his Christian principles and his belief in their ability to change the world, particularly through the effectiveness and excellent solutions of nonprofits, resonates throughout his writing. He does not simply want nonprofits to be successful in secular terms, but also in spiritual matters.

Excellent Solutions is packed with useful and clearly explained information, but Mitchell adds a creative twist that gives the 450-plus page book some visually inspiring moments. Before each lesson, he inserts an incredibly beautiful full-color nature photo by Derrick Z. Jackson. Whether intentional or not, these brilliant pictures inspire reflection on creation’s beauty around the world, subtly reinforcing Mitchell’s global concepts.

Mitchell practices what he teaches. He avoids narrow ideas, encourages positive thinking, and sets large goals to make the biggest possible spiritual and social impact—precisely what Excellent Solutions is all about.

Advance Praise for Excellent Solutions

What’s the world coming to? If you follow some form of media news outlet, you will acknowledge that large portions of the world’s populace expect only increased difficulty, strife, terror, chaos, and disaster. So many either join the turmoil or sneak off into some private refuge, content with their games, distractions, and preoccupations. So much for positive, purposeful living.

What I love about Don Mitchell’s approach to life is that anything and everything good that pertains to human flourishing is within the realm of reasonable and reachable. But attaining such fruitfulness is not dependent on Don’s intelligence or methodology or wisdom. Rather, it is in the nature and character of God, whose love for any and all people is real and powerful and available. As a result, Don helps us get a handle on God’s wisdom and helps us translate it into fruitful living.

This book busts the traps and boxes into which we unwittingly fall prey. Our thinking and our living are invited to fresh, rich levels of expression. The “number of our days” may be limited, but the difference we make and the contribution we offer to the world are unleashed. Instead of being part of the problem, we can learn from Excellent Solutions how to become increasingly part of the solution, part of God’s good, global solution.

— Pastor Doug Whallon

This wonderful book is a comprehensive guide for finding excellent solutions by applying God’s Wisdom for greater fruitfulness through upgrading what we all do and how we conduct our lives and thus turn well-justified hope into huge accomplishments.

— Dr. Elijah Chingosho, Secretary General, African Airlines Association

A formidable synthesis of management thought, personal psychology, and organizational behavior, all informed by Christian beliefs. This insightful work lays the foundation for truly excellent solutions. Don Mitchell again points the way to a better personal and organizational life.

— Wayne P. Jones, PhD, Executive in Residence, Professor of Marketing, College of Business,
University of Louisville

The story of doubt and stalled faith told by John, a contemporary of Jesus, enlightens our understanding of the loving care and creative power of the TriUnity of God (John 6:1-15). John’s story is situated in a time in Israel where many thousands of marginalized people sought a better solution from a rabbi named Jesus. “When Jesus looked out and saw that a large crowd had arrived, he said to Philip, ‘Where can we buy bread to feed these people?’ He said this to stretch Philip’s faith. He already knew what he was going to do.” (MSG). Even if there was enough bread in the nearest town, there was not enough money to buy bread for so many people. That would be our stalled thinking. But divine wisdom is not shackled by limited vision. Five barley loaves and two dried fish from a little boy would be more than enough. Jesus demonstrates this creative power of faith in God. This seed of faith (a hopeless resource for some) possesses an explosive power for regeneration. It generously feeds the many who seek a better solution in Jesus and graciously leaves more leftovers
for others.

Don Mitchell taps the divine seed of power by exploring how heavenly wisdom is radically different from our own worldly assumptions and then discovers that hidden in this seed is the power for a new creation.

— Stephan Earnhart, follower of Jesus serving the needs of a broken humanity, hotelier, and educator

Excellent Solutions unlocks the secrets to living profoundly by explaining how to tap into your passions and be in sync with what the Lord wants you to do. By following the roadmap laid out by 2,000 percent solution guru Don Mitchell, you, too, can experience the more productive, happier existence that Jesus Christ wants you to enjoy. Instead of just getting by, you’ll be wonderfully supercharged because your actions will be aligned with the teachings of Christianity.

— Ira McCown, investment banker and entrepreneur

With his customary modesty, Donald Mitchell describes his special gift from God: “He made me very curious about ways to find more and better solutions to difficult and painful problems.”

Readers who have benefited from Mitchell’s previous books would add that he writes with compelling clarity. Never one to leave a point unexplained, he elaborates: “Here’s an example,” “Let me spell out what this may look like,” “Let me give you an example,” and interjects many other transitions that become road signs toward insight. He keeps readers captivated and informed through simple illustrations that unlock profound truths.

Excellent Solutions emerges as his masterpiece on the theme he considers his God-given mission. Definitely, the book’s subtitle — How to Apply God’s Wisdom for Greater Fruitfulness — does morethan challenge readers. The phrase encapsulates what the author has accomplished in this epochal book.

— Bill Lampton, PhD, President, Championship Communication

In Excellent Solutions, Donald Mitchell has combined the knowledge and wisdom of the Bible with the stallbusting principles of his 2,000 percent solution to arrive at a magnificent work that teaches us how, through God’s guidance, we can arrive at a sequence of change and action to produce excellent solutions that will multiply benefits in our lives and businesses and thereby create greater fruitfulness for all.

— Dr. Andreas Stark, professional geophysicist and author

I’ve known Don Mitchell for at least a decade, and have always personally known and admired the strength of his character. Excellent Solutions presents a new and expansive vision of Don Mitchell. Those who know him personally have not been surprised to watch him evolve into one of the top Christian business minds in America.

Excellent Solutions allows Don to be recognized not only for his experience as a business leader and forward-thinking problem solver, but as an ongoing Christian learner who can integrate and implement plans and actions based upon teachings of the scripture. Through development of a plan, analysis of what has been done previously, and focus on creating the best opportunities, Mitchell helps us to look at ourselves and our approaches to problem solving in ways that allow us to continually multiply and enhance solutions to challenges we face. I’m proud to know Don and call him a Christian friend. May his work bless your life, and the future work you do.

— Alan Guinn, CEO and Managing Director of The Guinn Consultancy Group, Inc.

Are we really happy with our life, our family, our business, and our friends? No matter how successful we are, we are all performing way below our achievable potential. More happiness and more success are within reach of all of us but we do not see it, we do not know how; we are blind and ignorant. Life is beautiful but we have to make it beautiful.

If you believe in God, by applying God’s Wisdom you will find answers to all your problems. God’s Wisdom will open your eyes and your mind and will help you to achieve exponential success.

Don Mitchell in his new book, Excellent Solutions, combines with talent God’s guidance and stallbusting principles. This outstanding resourceful book will help you to free your life from stalls to find new strengths to go beyond your expectations.

— Alain Pierre Mignon, PhD, CEO, PT Fratekindo Jaya Gemilang, and Chairman of the French-Indonesian Chamber of Commerce & Industry

Don’s motto in life comes from Luke 12:48: “To whom much is given, much is expected.” His book, Excellent Solutions, is a must read for us all if we are to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others.

— Patrick Crowley, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, OMERS

Don Mitchell is a gifted writer and a brilliant thinker. Therefore it is no surprise that Excellent Solutions gives readers deep insights into behavior change. Regardless of your religious beliefs, implementing just one idea from this book will have a profound impact on your life and the lives of others.

— Stephen Shapiro, Author, Best Practices Are Stupid

We all limit ourselves from achieving exceptional results. We take on what others desire and fear. Unnecessarily. Excellent Solutions frees you to think for yourself in highly productive ways.

— Ania Lichota, executive coach and author

Excellent Solutions takes the reader to a new level of consciousness about improving their own lot as well as those around them, and its “how to do it” approach provides the tools.

— Douglas Scott, foundation CAO

New Course Available for Those Who Want to Start a Succcessful New Business, Either Part Time or Full Time

Good Evening, Successful People!

Are you feeling motivated this evening?

I know that I certainly am!


I pray that you are having a blessed day and that this will be your best year ever.

After having worked with thousands of entrepreneurs who have started businesses in the last 35 years, I recently felt called to write a book about how to do so in a more effective and satisfying way. What most people try to do is all wrong, and it's a shame to have so many people struggle so unnecessarily.

I especially want to encourage those who are Christians and want to devote themselves to serving the Lord through their new business to take this course.

Every hour that you spend on this course will save you 50 hours of work later on and over $1,000. So it's your choice whether to spend the time and money on the course or to spend the time and money on making avoidable mistakes later.

Here are some of the subjects you will cover with me:

1. Free up lots of time to work on your new business while you keep your day job.
2. Attract customers 20 times faster and more easily that your competitors do.
3. Use 96 percent less investment money to permit faster growth and higher profitability.
4. Which technical details about starting a new business are important for you to handle and which ones you should ask someone else to do for you.
5. Avoid making costly mistakes because of what you don't know that you don't know.
6. How to test your ideas inexpensively without putting yourself at risk.
7. The best sources of free information that can make you more successful.
8. The habits you need to develop to be most successful.
9. How to attract top talent at little cost.
10. How to keep your new business from consuming all your time and attention

I will begin writing the book in October and and hope to complete it before the end of Spring 2011.

It occurred to me that some people might appreciate having an opportunity to access these lessons early, to ask questions about how to use the information, and to get a head start on anyone else who intends to the the knowledge in the same ways.

The book's readers will benefit by my listening carefully to questions and addressing those key concerns more clearly in the book.

So it's an opportunity for everyone to benefit.

After thinking and praying about this calling over the last few weeks, I decided to offer a 52-week online course that will feature a weekly teaching and telephone conversation. I can conveniently accommodate up to 100 people on a telephone call and still offer an opportunity to ask questions and to get answers. So I decided to limit the group to that number.

We will begin on October 1 with the teleconferences but those who join the course before then will begin receiving lessons right away so they will have more time to work on these tasks.

As the book passes through editing, people who are taking the course will receive advanced copies.

I'm assuming that most people can obtain Skype or some other Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol telephone service so it won't be too expensive to call into the United States to join the conference calls. All lessons will be on the calls, so if you don't want to call in this won't be a good opportunity for you.

The fee for this course is $500 (United States Dollars) payable in advance. Normally I charge $20 a session for such courses, but I wanted to provide a good value so I reduced the price by more than half for you.

To join the group, simply send me your name, your e-mail address, your telephone number, and your payment to:

Donald W. Mitchell
P.O. Box 302
Weston, MA 02493
United States of America

If you would prefer to pay by check debit or credit card online, send me an e-mail to askdonmitchell@yahoo.com and I will tell you how you can pay through those methods by using PayPal.com/.

If you would prefer to receive only written materials, I can instead offer individual subscriptions and online access for questions and answers to the advanced work of The Billionaire Entrepreneurs' Master Mind that address how to create large enterprises quickly and with few resources. If this opportunity interests you, please let me know and I will provide the details. People who want this option may start the course as soon as they register.

Please let me know how I can help you.

I will be glad to answer any questions you have.

May God bless you, your family, and all you do in the name of Jesus!

With best regards, much appreciation, and all good wishes,

Donald W. Mitchell

Become a Sponsor of The 400 Year Project

Good Afternoon, Successful People!

Are you feeling motivated this afternoon?

I know that I am!


I have exciting news for you about The 400 Year Project (the program designed to accelerate the rate of world-wide improvements by 20 times).

As I described in Adventures of an Optimist (BookSurge, 2007), one of the important aspects of implementing the project will be to prepare one million tutors who can assist organizations and individuals around the world to make the exponential breakthroughs that I have been writing about since 1995.

To facilitate that implementation step, I have begun
writing a new book, Help Wanted, that describes the kinds of tutors needed and what they should be working on. My plan is to publish that book and make it widely available before the end of 2010.

Tutors are needed to work on the following opportunities:


-witnessing

-congregational ministries

-Christian non-profit organizations

-universities and colleges

-teachers and their unions

-voluntary associations for children

-foundations

-social-benefit-focused enterprises

-nations

-for-profit enterprises

-productivity-enhancement professionals

-lifting entrepreneurial effectiveness


While some individuals may wish to engage in this work
on their own, I anticipate that many organizations will wish to sponsor an aspect of The 400 Year Project
to show their commitment to enhancing spiritual and social improvement while gaining competitive advantages over those who prefer to stick with traditional methods.

Beginning now, I am willing to accept sponsors and to
help them apply the project's most advanced knowledge to their opportunities. Part of such sponsorships will be to prepare tutors skilled in particular applications of creating 2,000 percent (and higher order) solutions with the same time, effort, and resources.

I welcome all inquiries and will be glad to answer any questions you have. Please feel free to share this message with anyone you wish.

May God bless you, your family, and all you do in the name of Jesus!

With best regards, much appreciation, and all good wishes,

Donald W. Mitchell
Chairman
The 400 Year Project
