Book Description

For ten years I worked at a job I absolutely hated, everyday all I could think about was quitting. Every day as I went to this job I thought I could put in my 40 hours and when I was done with work I could forget about it, I was wrong. Even though the job paid well, it wasn’t enough; it wasn’t my passion and had no purpose.

When you spend so much of your week at a place that makes you miserable it will creep into every area of your life. I wanted to quit so bad but I didn’t know what I wanted to do or what I was even qualified to do. I didn’t have a college degree; I didn’t have any special training, so I thought I was stuck.

This book is about that job and other jobs and my journey to get away from those jobs and find work that I truly love. It talks about how to find or create work that is your passion and that benefits every other area of your life. It talks about a lot of the struggles we deal with every day in our work and some tips to get through those struggles.

The beauty of this book is that it’s written from the everyday working person’s perspective. I’m not some guy sitting in an office somewhere writing a book, I deliver bread at 2 a.m. and dream about something better, this is my journey to something better. Have you started your journey to your dream work? If not this book will help, if you have no clue where to start, this book will help. If I can do it so can you!

More About the Author

You can find me at Kimanziconstable.com

For twelve years I settled and felt completely stuck. I was doing work that made me miserable for 40 hours a week, I was 142 pounds over-weight. I lived in an area I dreamed everyday of leaving. I don't have a college degree, I don't have any special skills, so what could I do??


Last year I finally said "enough is enough" and took action on my dream of being a writer. I self-published a book that went on to completely flop selling only 5 copies in the first two months. I figured out my goal in life is to help people so I focused on that instead of the money.

I started making real connections and helping people, word got out and I implemented a few strategies to let the world know my work existed. My two books have now sold over 70,000 copies and counting, I started speaking about how to start and market an online business and have now spoken in 8 states and 4 different countries. I have now consulted with some amazing companies on their social marketing strategy and helped them reach that larger audience.

I'm living my dream life and my goal is to help you live yours. Please don't hesitate to reach out and connect, I want to help you anyway I can!
