Ducks in a Row?: How to find the courage to finally QUIT your soul-draining, life-sapping, energy-depleting, freedom-robbing job now...be

by Walt F. J. Goodridge

Overview

THE PLAN: ducks in a row:- Everything is ready; all preparations are complete. To have everything just the way you want it before you take the next step. (e.g., "I want to quit my job and pursue my passion, but I need to get all my ducks in a row before I hand in my resignation.")

THE FLAW: "I've never met a set of ducks that liked standing in a row for very long." We've all seen ducks in a row. The trouble is, watch them long enough and they eventually break formation. In other words, if you're waiting for things to be perfect before you act on your dreams in general, and if your success becoming an entrepreneur in particular is contingent on those ducks staying in line for the duration of your adventure in freedom, you might be waiting forever!

THE TRUTH: "It's not about the &()#%$ ducks! It's about finding the courage to live your dreams no matter what formation the ducks are in!" ~ W. Goodridge, duck liberator
