Escaping The Drift: How to Make the World Happen For You, Not To You
Jumpstart your career and fuel your life’s journey with a proven framework to stop drifting, chart your own path, and pursue meaningful work that leads to extraordinary success.

Escaping the Drift by Apprentice contestant, top-ranked podcast host and real estate entrepreneur John Gafford gives strategies for living life deliberately, with intention, instead of just getting by. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a professional seeking a career breakthrough, or anyone who wants to tap into their untapped potential, Gafford speaks directly to those who feel like they’re merely drifting through life, searching for purpose and a higher calling.

Do you have a decent gig, but no plan for tomorrow? Can you pay your bills each month, but every hour seems pointless? Are you just going through the motions of life? If so, then you are caught in “The Drift.” To set a new course for yourself, Gafford’s highly anticipated debut book teaches you how to:
  • Game the System and Read the Unwritten Rules: Figuring out the how, when, where, and why of unwritten rules to keep your Drifting to a minimum.
  • Work the Angles…But in a Nice Way: As your conversations change to focus on more positive ideas and concepts, watch your life change for the better.
  • Mange Risk: Since you can never control everything, make certain that you’re at least 51% of the equation.

Gafford wrote Escaping the Drift as a user’s manual to his younger self. If he could go back in time and hand himself a guide on how to stop drifting and start thriving, this would be it. There’s no secret formula, no magic bullet. But, as Gafford says, if you’re willing to put in the work—if you’re ready to take responsibility for your life instead of letting the current carry you wherever it wants—you can transform your reality in ways you never thought possible.
