I love a good story, don't you? As individuals, we often turn to stories for information and meaning about life. We live in a narrative or story-telling culture. Stories are all around us in newspapers, magazines, comics, sacred texts, books, movies, on radio and television, and more recently in social media through blogs and vlogs.
But one of the most powerful and useful stories you can ever hear is right under your nose--the story of your own life! Think about it. The facts, people, and events of your life make up a powerful story, chock-a-block full of valuable information and meaning about your right work and your purpose in life.
Your personal story is valuable. It is accessible. And it is affordable because you own it. In fact, if you hate your job or need a career change, you can't afford to ignore your story any longer. The truth of who and what you are in terms of work runs like a vein of gold through your life. However, like gold mining, you must move a lot of ore to get at the gold.
I wrote a book to help individuals just like you to move that ore quickly and easily to mine the gold of their life story. This book is designed to help you answer the questions: "Who am I?" and "What am I trying to accomplish with my life?" and "What careers or jobs will recognize, reward and motivate me in a way that is financially viable and makes a real contribution?"
We all have natural talents and motivations. We are all unique in what makes us productive and happy. But, if our individual strengths are never identified early in life by the significant people around us--such as parents, teachers, peers, coaches--then our talents never get validated. We never acquire a sense of our personal power. We might feel unworthy of telling our story. Our reasoning goes something like this, "My life hasn't amounted to much, and I've never done anything really interesting."
Not true. Even trivial and mundane activities can reveal riches of information about your natural talents and motivations. I'll show you how in an easy-to-follow format. Follow my story and the stories of dozens of clients who are no different than you, except that they wrote about times in their lives when they were doing what they enjoyed most, at work but especially outside of work.
By filling in the form, their stories revealed accurate and reliable information about who and what they were in terms of their right work. They translated this information about their motivational patterns into financially-viable new careers.
Writing out stories about events and activities you truly enjoyed is a proven process that has helped thousands of people just like you translate their natural talents and motivations into job joy!
