Don't F*** This Up!: How To Get What You Want In Life

by Fred Stuvek

Overview

 The margin of error is shrinking. 

Don't F*** This Up. 

Has the new normal just f***ed up your future? Did you get your degree in the mail instead of crossing a stage? You're not alone. You did everything you were supposed to do. You worked hard, got the grades, and you're ready to start your next phase of life. 

Then the floor caved in. Thanks to a global pandemic, you're entering adulthood, your new career, your college career, or the workforce during record unemployment, a terrifying economy, and social guidelines that have all but eliminated life as you knew it. Like it or not, this is your sink or swim moment. 

If having a strategy was important before, now, it's critical. The choices you make and the practices you adopt right now are going to shape not only your career, but every other aspect of your life as well. 

It's a lot to wrap your head around, and frankly, many people are going to screw it up. To be among the few who rise you need to harness certain proven principles. Learn how to focus on goal setting, adopt high standards, and become disciplined. Discover proven methods for developing and improving essential relationships. When you establish a high level of personal integrity through right action and attitude, you develop the resilience and grit to overcome adversity - throughout your life, and especially in this time of crisis. The key is in your hand. Use it. 

If you're looking for career advice, this is not the book for you. This book is a series of life lessons that lifted generations of Americans through hard times. Some of the lessons will be hard to hear. You will have to take responsibility for your actions and choices; to work for what you want. Are you up to the challenge?
