About this listen
Would it surprise you to learn that 51 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with their job? This book is your career playbook to keep you from letting job dissatisfaction spiral into career dissatisfaction.
There’s never been a better time to ditch your career plan. Many people are realizing the career they originally envisioned no longer fits, motivates, or makes sense to pursue in this ever-changing world. The new goal is to find career freedom, fulfillment, and financial success.
Ditching your career plan and finding the right career path to success means choosing the right work, at the right time, for you. The key lies in following and applying six career archetypes. You will learn to recognize, implement, and maximize these attributes as a collective process and reveal the career path that is the best fit for you.
