Finally!

This book gave me a step by step, easy to use plan to help me get the direction I need to figure out what I want to do. I was recently laid off and don't want to do the same thing again. I look forward to each new day.

I am very happy with purchasing this book. The author provides very detailed information about what to do when laid off, but the information applies also in the case we want to make a career change or start focusing more on our passions.

The author describes her experience in very relatable terms. I liked that this book offers information regarding the mindset part of this process and also an actionable plan. The author provides examples from her own experience that are very easy to follow and can be applied straight away.

There are many resources and pictures of the different techniques she used in her reboot.

The book delivers on its promise to walk the reader through the initial reaction of being laid off, get organized and make the best of their reboot time, and provides actionable steps that the reader can now take for their own reboot of focusing even more on their passions, whether they were laid off, quit or just need a little inspiration to try something new.

This book is for anyone who is ready to make a plan and follow it in order to get the best of re-focusing their life. The author provides the tips, tricks, and techniques she used in the different phases of this process.

Motivating mix of the author's personal story and practical structures for self-starting a new direction (and finding out what that might be).
