Publisher Description
Right now, 70% of Americans aren’t passionate about their work and are desperately longing for meaning and purpose. They’re sick of “average” and know there’s something better out there, but they just don’t know how to reach it.
One basic principle―The Proximity Principle―can change everything you thought you knew about pursuing a career you love.
In his latest book, The Proximity Principle, national radio host and career expert Ken Coleman provides a simple plan of how positioning yourself near the right people and places can help you land the job you love.
Forget the traditional career advice you’ve heard! Networking, handing out business cards, and updating your online profile do nothing to set you apart from other candidates. Ken will show you how to be intentional and genuine about the connections you make with a fresh, unexpected take on resumes and the job interview process. You’ll discover the five people you should look for and the four best places to grow, learn, practice, and perform so you can step into the role you were created to fill.
After reading The Proximity Principle, you’ll know how to connect with the right people and put yourself in the right places, so opportunities will come―and you’ll be prepared to take them.

Just listen to his Show instead
While this book did have some practical tips for what and how to use the proximity principle as he lays it out there isn’t a lot of practical advice for people who genuinely don’t have proximity to people and how to get in there. I understood from an early age that being in the right place around the right people is important and that’s what this book lays out. However, what if you don’t know these people how can you still find a way in. Being able to network in order to find the right people and places should have been discussed more. Walking away from this book feeling like I learned nothing I didn’t already know from listening to his free show and no closer to a dream job compare to when I started reading. I would recommend that just listening to his podcast instead.
Persist!
I had a successful FInancial Planning practice and now I’m currently pressing on helping the next generation carry out their mission working as a life coach.
Reflecting on this book I see where I applied may of the principles especially getting into my career. I highly recommend this book regardless of where you are in your career.
