The one thing that I really love about authors, presenters, and teachers are when they speak from experience. Deborah does a wonderful job of relating her life journey into a path of success for those who are in, or near, a career transition.
I just finished this book, and not only does she have an excellent, emotional, engaging story telling ability - but the stories she relates to the reader are authentic, passionate, and extremely relevant to the work she has you do.
If you read the book, and do the work, you're definitely going to be on the path of success. I speak from experience as well, because like Deborah, I did the scariest thing of my life in 1995, and stepped out completely on my own - starting my own business.
Deborah's journey very much paralleled my own life journey through those tough start-up times (being 'frozen with fear' but knowing I had to do something!)
Great work, Deborah!

I love getting my hands on new business books ... anything that will basically help light a fire under my bum. This book is definitely that kind of book! At the time I picked it up, I was on the verge of my own career transition and yet I hadn't completely committed to said transition. By the time I finished reading the author's personal story, I knew I needed a change in my life.
Not only did this book get me thinking about a more rewarding, fulfilling career, it also forced me to really look at myself and decide what path I was on -- to be a more empowered employee or to be a passionate entrepreneur.
The questions and exercises throughout had me digging deep to discover what I was really all about. As such, this week is my last week at a job I've held for the last 7.5 years and I'm striking out as an entrepreneur! This book helped me see the light!

talentless
Talentless, over-hyped so-called-writer who states the obvious, and in a web article was even 'booed" as writing at a caliber which would fail high school journalism class.
