48 Days To The Work You Love

"Few categories of our lives define us and grow us spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and as people. Our work is one of those powerful defining areas. Sadly, a J-O-B is what most people settle for, but as Dan Miller so powerfully points out in 48 Days To The Work You Love, a calling lights up your life." Dave Ramsey
It was Dave Ramsey who first pointed me to Dan Miller (through his show and not in person unfortunately), and I will be forever grateful. With passion and wisdom garnered from real life peaks and valleys Dan presents a common sense approach to finding and understanding your personal abilities and skills, and making it a reality.

Like a successful motivational speaker Dan backs up his encouragement with plenty of "how-to-do-it" advice. The book includes chapters to encourage you to get up and go, how to determine your calling, where to look (and not look) for jobs, and important things to remember include in the interview process.

The appendices contain samples of good cover letters, resumes, and follow-up letters; a Personal Mission Statement Worksheet; and a suggested reading list.

To the FTC and whomever else it may concern, I bought this book with my own money and have not been, in any way encouraged to write a review, either positive or negative.
