Do you think doing what you love is reserved for a few lucky ones? Do you dream of doing work that you enjoy and that pays well? Do you dream about starting your own business to do what you actually like?

Somewhere, somehow, we accepted the argument that we could not have it all. Leave it to Chris Guillebeau to majestically poke holes into that limiting thought, debunk career-path myths, and open up our mindset into the realm of what is possible in his new book Born for This. In short: YES, you can do what you like to do (and what you are really good at), while earning the money that supports and sustains your lifestyle.

But HOW?!

With Chris’s Joy-Money-Flow model (sure to give you a big “a-ha!” moment), he shows that it is not luck, but careful planning what will yield your desired results.  You can actually stack the odds in your favor.  Chris will show you the steps you need to take based on the option that you choose. Whether you want to have a side hustle, launch your own business, find your dream job, become a freelancer or do various things at once, this book is the best manual for creating your dream career.

While it will take a concerted effort and hard work to get where you want to go, it will be worth it.  Chris tells many stories throughout the book about people, from all walks of life, who made this happen and who love their life and work. 

But what if you don’t know where to start? Or what if you don’t know what you really want? Or what if you have many different passions and interest that you can’t seem to put together in your mind? Chris will provide lots of no-nonsense, practical advice and helpful exercises so that you can finally figure out what you really want. In Chris’s words: “Our goal for this book isn’t necessarily to come up with the answer tomorrow; it’s to develop the tools to ultimately find an answer, no matter how long it takes.”

And once you’re clear about what you really want, you will then be able to select the path you really want to follow. The book is a very friendly, easy read, but it is quite powerful: it provides examples, plans, actionable items and paths to follow to finally start living the professional life that you’ve always wanted.

And what could be better than this? How about meeting Chris!
He will be talking about Born for This on April 19, 2016 at 4 PM at the Business Library (188 Madison Ave. @ 34th St.). Reserve your spot now!
