Overview

Career success is much more than having a real job and earning a decent income. Real career success is truly enjoying what you do for a living and having the personal freedom to perform your work virtually any time you want.

This one-of-a-kind career guide challenges and inspires you to:

Create your own dream job or operate an unconventional business.

Find your own important mission, true calling, or passionate pursuit with which you can make a great living.

Gain courage to escape the corporate world so that you don't have to spend the rest of your life trapped in a cubicle.

Be creative and have fun in your work.

Restructure your life so that it has meaning, direction, and joy.

Take charge of your physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual well-being.

Experience true personal freedom in all areas of your life.

Above all, get the most out of your life - personally and professionally!

This revolutionary book is for those millions of organizationally averse people who would like to break free of corporate life so that they have complete control over their lives. Throughout the book you will read about several ordinary individuals who have attained extraordinary success without a real job. International best-selling author Ernie Zelinski, whose books have sold over 550,000 copies worldwide, also uses experiences from his own life to show how the powerful success principles on the pages within can help you joyfully avoid the shackles of the corporate world for the rest of your life.

This second edition (originally published as Real Success Without a Real Job) includes a new chapter with a work model for people who are too prosperous to do mornings and wantto make money while they sleep. Positive, lively, and captivating, Career Success Without a Real Job is designed to help you live an extraordinary lifestyle that is the envy of the corporate world - it truly is the career book for people too smart to work in corporations!

Career Success without a Real Job - simply Excellent!

One of the BEST books I have read so far, I could not put the book down. It is inspiring, honest, motivating and genuine. Career Success without a Real Job is very enjoyable and easy to read, it is simple and to the point. I also loved many many quotes in it and Ernie's great sense of humour. This is a book that I will read many times and is a valuable addition to my home library. It is a fantastic guide for anyone who dreams about living life to the fullest doing what he or she loves love to do, but is too conditionned by the "what if's", and does not know how to take the first step, this book will definitely help. Thank you for sharing you great thoughts Ernie!

I Also Recommend:

You MUST read this book if you are sick and tired of working for corporate America!

This is a MUST read if you want the inspiration to get out of the humdrum and stress of a corporate job and into the exciting and satisfying life of an unreal job! I read this book twice in one month and will read it again and again. It is the one book that made me realize how with the right persistence, and stick-to-it-ivness, regardless of how little money or encouragement from others you might have, your dream job and life can be yours. It immediately made my life turn in a new and more fulfilling direction. Ernie's own life stories were the biggest inspiration since he too started with not much of anything, and according to many didn't know how to write, but ended up doing what he loves with a life he loves. I can't wait for my journey now while enjoying my next 60 years...and maybe I'll see you at the top!
