Review
"In simple, lucid and short chapters, Condrill gets right to the point of accomplishment. Don't set boundaries--dream. 'Think of your dream in a positive sense. What do you want?' Simple? About as simple and direct as you want it to be is discovering the planning of and the power in accomplishment. Nothing humdrum about the advice from Condrill. An enlightening and thorough study that makes a difficult topic not only intelligible but also interesting--and very, very doable. --

Scott DeGarmo, Former Publisher and Editor in Chief, Success MagazineI found Jo Condrill's book "A Millennium Primer: Take Charge of Your Life" an inspiring call-to-action that would help all of us to dare to make our hopes and dreams real. She provides a very positive, optimistic tone that helps answer the question "What are the possibilities for me and for my life?" Where many authors fail, however, Jo succeeds, by following the dream identification process with very specific step-by-step methods to make possibilities into realities. The clear and easy-to-follow exercises are what make this book a stand out as a valuable personal development tool. The Millennium Primer would make an excellent guide to career planning for the young person at the threshold of their life or for the experienced professional yearning to make a change. I recommend that you add this powerful tool to your personal growth toolbox. --

Pauline Shirley, International President 1994-1995, Toastmasters InternationalThis book gives practical, down to earth advice on how to get what you want out of life--for those just starting up or those starting over. On a personal note, I reviewed this book at a time of a major career change decision. It was very helpful in reminding me of basic things to consider and in encouraging me to believe in myself. Call it serendipity if you want to, but it came at just the right time in my life to be very helpful. --
