"A powerful and valuable book to live a life of greater freedom and impact", Robin Sharma, #1 worldwide bestselling author of The 5AM Club and The Everyday Hero Manifesto
Reimagine your future, adjust your efforts, jump into action and work for just ten more years before doing what the hell you want!
Building a business can be confusing. Entrepreneurs aren't sure whether to keep control or delegate and automate, say yes or say no, work all hours or prioritize work-life balance. They take advice from all directions and wind up feeling overwhelmed and overworked without a finish line in sight.
The TEN YEAR CAREER turns that premise upside down and argues that it doesn't have to be that way. If you have intention, focus, a willingness to question received truths and the vision to think big, you can emulate the world's most successful entrepreneurs and retire in ten years, no matter where you are in your career today.
You'll - How to define success your way, not their way. - How to achieve far more in a shorter space of time. - How to run your business without it running you. - The four-step framework by which to complete your Ten Year Career.
You can achieve much more than you do now, in much less time than you thought, to reach financial freedom earlier than you imagined. That freedom, in turn, leads to the freedom to choose how you spend your days. The freedom to do whatever you want, with whomever you want, when you want to do it. The freedom to live life on your own terms.
The biggest lesson I take with me is how it shakes up paradigms; The stereotypical way people talk about entrepreneurship VS reality- A refreshing perspective.
She gives tactical advice along with stories from her life and observations of other successful entrepreneurs using vivid language that makes it easy to imagine what this could look like for you.
There’s no BS in this book, yet playfully written with energy and enthusiasm= rare combo!
What I liked the most about your 10 year career? How it starts with you!
You needing to be brutally honest with who you are, where you are, and how you think!
Asking questions such as what the best version of you looks like and making a commitment to become it.
The book gives you direction on how to define this for yourself followed by guidance on how this can be monetized and reach an audience.
It challenged my thinking!
Above all, if you want your exit and work for yourself, you need to look at your beliefs about yourself, the world, and business.
This book was brilliant and I highly recommend it. Jodie’s writing style is really accessible and engaging. She has an incredibly inspiring message to share with readers and it will empower you to think differently.
There’s a Tony Robbins quote that really speaks to me that I think is relevant here:
“We usually overestimate what we think we can accomplish in one year, but we grossly underestimate what we can accomplish in a decade”.
Thinking in decades can be incredibly powerful... Jodie’s book encourages you to strategise over the long term and work towards building the life you want, one step at a time. It’s a motivating read and a book I will reread multiple times.
In this book, Jodie simplifies the roadmap to success in business and shows you that you really do have the power to live life on your terms. Life is short, we don't have to wait until retirement to do the things we are dreaming about. She is a living example of someone who lives life by design and does things in beautifully unconventional ways - and shows how you can too. Definitely one I'll be re-reading and recommending to business-owner friends.
I'd recommend the course the author offers a checklist of what to look for in the book before reading it. Very insightful for anyone who is looking to solve a reccurring problem by entrepreneurial means without having to run the business activities and decisions.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Loved the first half of the book around mindset, the 'lizard self/taming', understanding who you are and what you want. I did skip a few chapters that related more around building a business as thats not something that really resonated with me at the moment.
The Ten Year Career gives you simple frameworks for how to save time, make a bigger impact and focus on what's important. Jodi's sense of humor makes reading this book a blast!
