Overview

Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion

Jumpstart Your Career and Personal Life!

The key to achieving true success in life is to master that delicate balance between making money and making meaning. Marketing executive and best selling author, Robert Michael Fried, shows how the same principles you use to accomplish success at work can also help you realize your personal goals, dreams and aspirations.

Fried provides a practical yet passionately purpose-driven roadmap that will enable you to heed your true calling to become a truly successful person in every sense of the word. The author underscores that true success goes beyond just getting what you want… it’s also wanting what you get.

Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion will take you on an uplifting journey of self-discovery. It will empower you to re-invent your personal brand and close the disparity or gap between who you are and who you dream of becoming. The book urges you to make it your business to ignite your true purpose and passion while seizing the opportunity to become an entrepreneur of your own existence.

Built upon and expanded from his best-selling book, A Marketing Plan For Life, the author reminds us that the purpose of life should be a life of purpose. In emphasizing his philosophy, Fried writes, “I’ll tell you what unhappiness is… unhappiness is not knowing what you want and killing yourself to get it.”

This insightful and thought-provoking read will not only inspire you to clearly define what you want but it will help you make both meaning and money – not just for yourself but for others. That’s what Ralph Waldo Emerson meant when he said, “To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – that is to have succeeded.”

    An Excellent Book of Strategies and planning for business and personal succedss

    Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion A businesslike guide to fulfill your professional goals and personal dreams Robert Michael Fried Thirdwind Publishing ISBN 978-0-98379-770-8 (ebook) Robert Fried involves readers not only with twelve well-written chapters, but also with hundreds of quotes from interesting and successful people. Each chapter book discusses both business and personal principles for success. Each chapter ends with seven helpful points for working out the concepts presented. The author has analyzed and lived his twelve point business and life-planning outline. He discusses how to define and ignite your passion and true purpose in life and evaluate actions to reach your goals. You must also reach out and help others, practice clear and concise communication and understand the creative process. Also, learn time management, wise investment of time and energy, and leaving a legacy, among other issues. Fried has written an excellent book of plans and strategy--always necessary for reaching goals and dreams. However, like many motivational books, one thing is missing. Fried quotes several times from The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. That book will show you that missing point—a relationship with the source of the strength and wisdom to actually accomplish your goals--the creator God. The book has worksheets at the end, (or online) for recording your personal planning.
