This insightful and helpful resource gives you the tools, tips, and techniques you need to succeed--no matter what comes your way.
Not everyone has the means and resources to become a successful entrepreneur. So does that mean everyone else must hinge their success on the hopes that they survive the next set of layoffs and that their chosen field doesn’t become the next dying industry? Not at all! The successful methods that the leading entrepreneurs used to find their niche in today’s marketplace can be applied by all in their pursuit of a long-lasting, rewarding career.
Own Your Future shows you how to take the same small steps forward they use to reinvent the way you maneuver in an unpredictable job market. You will discover how to:
Act--Thinking alone will never change your life; you must take that first step.Learn--What lessons did you learn from that first step?Build--Take what you learned and apply it to improve upon that first step.Repeat--Continue this process until you have achieved your goal!
Too often, people picture their perfect career and then think through all the steps backward to plan out their path to career success. There is very little assurance that your chosen job--perhaps even the industry itself--will even be there by the time you maneuver through the long path of continuing education and promotions.
Don’t rest your success on the mercy of an ever-changing marketplace. Filled with stories of professionals of all kinds who have profited from this proactive approach, Own Your Future will teach you how to take control.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The work world doesn't look like it used to, with few rewards for loyalty. Brown, Kiefer, and Schlesinger (Just Start) advise readers to take their cues from serial entrepreneurs, who have learned to make uncertainty work to their advantage. The authors take a tough-love approach to dealing with a changing market, putting the responsibility for adapting squarely on the shoulders of their readers. Success can be achieved by using the satisfying proactive "ALBR" process: Act, Learn, Build, Repeat. Peppering their plan with snappy sound bites and stories about entrepreneurial challenges and triumphs, the authors demonstrate the characteristics that will help anyone weather change: an aversion to risk, the propensity to avoid overthinking, and the willingness to take a small step toward their goal. The book is a solid choice for job candidates, people looking to advance their careers, anyone who feels stuck, or anyone concerned with career longevity. The simple plan and inspiring stories may be just the push readers need to prepare themselves to master the changing job market.
