The Millionaire Dropout: Fire Your Boss, Do What You Love, Change Your Life by Vince Stanzione
Business/self-help isn't my usual genre but Mr. Stanzione approached me with the possibility of my reviewing his book and, after reading it, I give it my endorsement. It's tough out there; God knows I've learned that over the past month, after losing my own day job. Suddenly I'm getting a lot more interested in books about how to get your life back on track.
The
economic outlook is bleak and getting bleaker by the day. This won't
come as a surprise to anyone. What we don't always realize is there is
hope out there; it's largely a matter of mind-set and putting in the
time it takes to earn success. The current economic climate is not for
the wimpy, nor the half-hearted. And Vince Stanzione is just the kind of
book we all need to get our heads out of the sand and give our careers -
and lives - 100%.
How you look at your life and situation is a huge element in your success. The Millionaire Dropout
teaches you how to adjust your thinking, to look at your outmoded
mindset and readjust it to help change your old, ineffective habits.
But
this isn't just another general "think positive" manual. Stanzione
offers concrete advice on how to change at a reasonable pace, breaking
it down step by step to help real people make progress without becoming
burned out or discouraged. He addresses things like becoming
overwhelmed, taking advantage of connections you may not have thought
about, considering adding to your education: all real-life, down to
earth suggestions to help anyone move forward and become unstuck.
He
discusses evaluating your skills, assessing your current career path
and considering the possibility you may be in the wrong profession.
Current trends, the psychology of what people buy and why and using the
internet to your advantage are all very relevant and sometimes
over-looked aspects of job hunting. The Millionaire Dropout covers all these avenues and a lot more.
Not
all books on the topic of job hunting and finding your niche are
created equally: Stanzione's book is a practically, useful and
well-written guide to achieving your goals and living your dreams. He
writes in understandable language, using real-world examples. Very
highly recommended for everyone unhappy with their current employment
situation or those who are out of work and pounding the pavement. Maybe
you're looking in the wrong direction. The Millionaire Dropout can help anyone in need of useful career - and life - advice.
