praise for Amazing Things Will Happen

—Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup

This book is not a how-to manual for life. It doesn't deliver a step-by-step approach that you execute in order to achieve an amazing life. Rather, it offers a collection of thoughts and inspiration that will get you up and guide you on a journey toward a more fulfilling life. Amazing Things Will Happen??shows how others got it done and gives you the inspiration to chase your dreams. You'll be empowered to:

• Cope with the situation you are currently in and make the most of it until you can break free
• Define your goals and set out realistic tasks to reach them
• Navigate the sea of doubters and obstacles to get to where you want to be
• Be happier, satisfied, and more rewarded by the life you choose to lead
