No More Dreaded Mondays - a Review

If you are looking for work, and no one seems to be responding to your resumes, you need to read this book. If you hate your job, but feel stuck because why would anyone leave a secure job these days, you need to read this book. If you are thinking it might be time for a career transition, you need to read this book. If you think you will never make more money until you get your degree, you need to read this book. I fit none of those categories, and I loved it!

What do you love to do? Dan will spur you on to think of creative ways to make money doing what you love. From guys who traded in corporate life for chainsaw art to the guy who made a million dollars selling the "pet rock," this book of full of stories. Did you know that Steven Spielberg's application to film school was denied- 3 times? Of course, after he was successful, one of those schools awarded him an honorary degree. Did you know that 69% of business start-ups required less than $10,000? Of course, if you have nothing, that is a problem- until you read that 26% of startups required NO MONEY!

Dan Miller is a creative thinker, a therapist, life coach and career coach. He is also a successful businessman. He is a decent author, too. In this book, Dan takes a look at the reasons we give for working jobs we hate. He then successfully deconstructs all of those reasons. But I love Dan because he doesn't leave his readers in a pool of despair. He shares story after story of people who made lots of money doing what they love.

If you read this book, two things will happen. First, you will be offended in every area of your life ruled by laziness and complacency. Second, you will be motivated, inspired, and given guidance in the areas of your life where you are open to change and experience success!

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. And if you are a personal friend of mine, I will let you borrow it- but you have to give it back because this one is staying on my shelves.
