Are you living your life by design or by default? That’s the question my January Book Club pick, Work In Progress, begs.
I’ve often told the story of how I was fired from one radio job after another before finally landing in the role I’ve had since 2002; Nationally syndicated radio personality and owner of my own production company. Oh, my friends, there is soooo much truth in the axiom, ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!” I’m a stronger, more confident, and much more successful person that I would have been had I stayed in one of those earlier, low-paying, single market jobs.
Work In Progress, is another story of failure leading to success, this one told by a sibling duo originally from suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and now known as the king and queen of eclectic-design chic with their own HGTV show.
Leanne Ford and Steve Ford were born with creative spirits that manifest themselves in unique and unexpected ways. Their design aesthetics weren’t always embraced by mainstream, but by allowing their inner voices to guide them, and by never giving up, and never letting fear get in the way of a great idea, they too fell upon the perfect platform for their passions and abilities.
So what’s this book going to do for you? Well, Leanne and Steve want to know what makes you feel most ALIVE?! And once you’ve answered that question, they want you to take that passion and use it to see your dreams become your realities. They hope that by not only sharing their story, but also a few secrets, and some tried and true processes, they can help you navigate the many mine-fields that growth and success place in your path, and help you to realize the big-picture plan for your life.
As they see it, life is a creative process and at the end of each chapter, Leanne and Steve will ask questions to help you design an extraordinary life. Because, it's NEVER too late to pursue your next dream!
