But if the people writing to me did not have choice, they wouldn’t be asking.

By some estimates, this group already accounts for one-third of the U.S. talent pool. These entrepreneurs — coffee-shop app developers, bloggers, consultants, and designers, among others — have leveraged the shifting dynamics of the modern workforce. They understand that the 40-year job is becoming a thing of the past — and have plugged-in to bypass the curve.”

My new goal setting workbook is now available in ebook and paperback. Setting and keeping goals is one of the most empowering things you can do to earn the kind of life you want. Despite the fact that many people talk about having goals, few actually get much beyond wishing. This workbook is designed to clearly set out the steps to successful goal setting so you can not only know what you want, but so you can take the steps you need to take to keep them and reach them.
