Blindsided

If you are fed up hating what you do for a living and are looking for a more fulfilling experience, this book sets out to inspire you to make change and to show you how to find a job you’ll love. Can you imagine what it would be like to enjoy what you do for a living? Engaged, driven and so excited by the prospect of the coming week you can’t sleep - from excitement rather than dread. In this book, you will find a variety of people who have made small changes, great changes or perhaps no change at all - they have simply remained resolute to fulfil their childhood ambition at any cost. They all share an approach to life and enthusiasm for what they do that is an irresistible inspiration for drawing passion into our own lives in whatever form. These are ordinary people who have found a job they love and we find out exactly how they went about it.
