Introduction


The Parachute Approach demands that you do an inventory of who you are and what you love to do, before you set out on your search for (meaningful) work.

Being out of work, or thinking about a new job or career, should speak to your heart. It should say something like this:

Use this opportunity. Make this not only a hunt for a job, but a hunt for a life. A deeper life, a victorious life, a life you’re prouder of.

The world currently is filled with workers whose weeklong cry is, “When is the weekend going to be here?” And, then, “Thank God it’s Friday!” Their work puts bread on the table but . . . they are bored out of their minds. They’ve never taken the time to think out what they uniquely can do, and what they uniquely have to offer to the world. The world doesn’t need any more bored workers. Dream a little. Dream a lot.

Have loved this workbook since it first came out.

It is a must have for anyone in midlife crisis yearning to change careers.

But who knew?! It has a whole new reader's market these days: it is PERFECT for any online course developers. It helps you really tune in to new areas of your life where you hold expertise.

It also may help someone realize what areas they could serve as an Expert Witness to courts.

This workbook can make you a new career or help you develop a new income breakthrough.
