Jumpstart Your Greatness
In the last few years, I have been on a journey of self-discovery.
I tried to make meaning as well as money by volunteering my marketing acumen toward causes higher than myself. I had to apply some of my own lessons to my life and learn that the best things in life are not actual “things” - that true success always involves others.
During turbulent economic times, my journey of self-discovery proved to be one great balancing act. Sometimes I felt I was about to fall off the high wire. Somehow I knew that if I lost my balance a bit along the way, there would be a safety net to catch me. The words of Abraham Lincoln keep echoing in my ear, “In the end it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.” It was the striving towards a life of depth that helped my self-esteem to soar, even as my net worth tried to keep pace with the charitable causes that now counted on me for support.
Although the road has been winding and at times strewn with potholes and boulders, I would gladly take the same path of self-discovery again because it led to igniting my life’s true purpose and passion. Remember as you embark on your own path of discovery the insightful words of noted author Ursula K. Le Guin, “It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end.”
For those of you who read my previous best-selling book, A Marketing Plan For Life, this new book, Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion, is built upon the same work/life planning process. However, it offers the following updated, greatly expanded, value-added content:
The book has been totally updated to reflect today’s socio-economic and changing times.
There are seven jumpstarting steps for each chapter that allow the reader to take action and focus on reaching their full personal growth potential.
The book offers significantly updated content. It is chock full of new anecdotes, business and life stories, and notable quotes that make the book come alive for the reader.
Finally, the “exercises” section at the end of the book offers the flexibility to address your pertinent life questions in any of these three ways:
- Answer the exercise questions at the end of the book on your own notepad and keep them in a drawer or file cabinet for future review. I’m suggesting you don’t write your answers in the book so that you can share the questions with your friends and family without influencing their answers.
- Sign-up at www.ignitingyourtruepurpose.com/exercises and we’ll email you a form to fill in your answers. Or if you want to go old school we’ll mail you two sets of pre-printed questionnaires. Store the finished questionnaires where they are easily retrievable for future review. Remember, this life planning process is a living, always changing thing. You’ll want to revisit these questions from year-to-year.
- Log on to www.ignitingyourtruepurpose.com. Create a personal profile and you can answer the questions right there. We’ll securely store your answers for your future review. That way you’ll never misplace your work and have the opportunity to apprise your plan every six months or update whenever inevitable life-altering events suggest that you take another look at your plan going forward. Once you’ve registered at www.ignitingyourtruepurpose.com, you’ll have the option of joining our online community of others who are on the path to Jumpstart their lives to greater heights.
