Product Description

Put your own fate exactly where it belongs-in your hands

It is one of the great questions of life. Its a simple question, really, but it seems impossible for many to answer: Do we control our own destinies? 90 percent of people think and act as if their destiny is foreordained, while only about 10 percent believe in the capacity to change and act on it.

Creating Your Own Destiny explains and demonstrates to the majority how to dream, plan, and execute a better future-despite the challenges of the economy and life circumstances.

  • Based on time-honored principles, theories, and case studies
  • Provides a Success Road Map for all those people who are seeking to achieve success but who aren't satisfied with their careers.
  • Written in an easy and accessible tone by Patrick Snow, who has been dubbed "the Dean of Destiny"

With the powerful and practical tools featured in this essential guide, you'll find yourself newly empowered and energized to achieve extraordinary results.

From the Inside Flap

Why is it that we live in the most advanced, prosperous time in history, yet so many of us still feel trapped? Trapped by jobs, trapped by debts, trapped by mortgages—we feel trapped by obligations, "shoulds," and "musts." Yet just because we feel trapped doesn't mean we are. With all the noise and complexity of modern life, it's easy to forget that your destiny occurs by your choice, not by chance.

Now you can take back control of your life and future with Creating Your Own Destiny. Written by "The Dean of Destiny," Patrick Snow, this international bestseller gives you a simple, sixteen–step Success Road Map you can use to dream, plan, and execute to achieve amazing results in the face of economic and life challenges. Using Snow's accessible, practical plan, tens of thousands have gotten back on the life path they want and have realized extraordinary results.

With its proven approach, real–life examples, and useful tools and resources throughout, Creating Your Own Destiny will give you the key to:

  • Visualize your desired future and make it your reality
  • Attain all your dreams while keeping your family your top priority
  • Create a winning game plan that fulfills your passions
  • Build wealth through business ownership
  • Find solutions for dealing with fear and failure
  • Gain more time, money, freedom, health, love, and happiness
  • Apply the ultimate destiny secret in life
  • Ensure your freedom when you "create your own destiny"

How can we all get more out of life? Patrick Snow offers no–nonsense solutions to put aside your doubts and fears, realize your life's vision, and transform your passion into an opportunity or business that you own. Every method in this book has been tested by Snow himself in the course of pursuing the career and life of his dreams. So stop just letting your life happen and start creating your destiny, making the "more" you've always wanted become yours today.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly good content with commercials at the end, August 1, 2010
This review is from: Creating Your Own Destiny: How to Get Exactly What You Want Out of Life and Work (Hardcover)
I'd seen a mention of this book somewhere on the Internet so sought it out in the local library. Much of the book's content was good. The author's story is captivating. The part about taking action was good. The recommendation to start a business is very good and very timely; the author does a good job of warning prospective business owners to have a healthy cushion of savings and start on the weekends. He doesn't emphasize the most important ingredient for success - the ability to tap into customer needs - which is the most difficult part of business success and also the hardest to teach.

Then at the end I felt a huge letdown. The author blatantly promotes his own website and his own businesses. His mastermind group is open to everyone...for a fee. The book promises to recommend coaches. I didn't see the listing on his site, but it's common for someone who recommends coaches to take a percentage of the fees, often for the life of the coaching engagement.

In Chapter 16 the author emphasizes a specific religious orientation, which is not mentioned on the cover.

In a self-published book to be distributed with speeches, I'd have no problem with any of this. But this book was published by Wiley, a respected publisher, and presented as a stand-alone self-help book.

The author's site shows he gets $25,000 and up for speeches. He's obviously doing well. So why not just write a straightforward self-help book and skip the commercials? If anything, his credibility would rise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you think, June 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Creating Your Own Destiny: How to Get Exactly What You Want Out of Life and Work (Hardcover)
This book can't be read in one sitting. Each chapter is a life lesson, some more than others. The chapter on balancing family and work was life-changing for me, while the review on real wealth was more validation. There's everything in here that affects how we run your business life from health habits to mind-sets to financial plans. I'll probably reread it for various stages of my future business life as well.
