By the end of this guide it is my goal for you to have a clear understanding of what career you want during your pursuit of happiness. You may be a high school student, college student, or already in the work force. You may have children, responsibilities, and maybe even reasons you are telling yourself you cannot make a change to find the career you deserve to have. This is not the case. We all have options - sometimes it's the vast sea of options we have that can debilitate us from deciding a direction to go. Fear not, we're going to "weigh" these options on the scale of life. You may be reading this description deciding if this book is right for you. I am proof that this guide works, and the time taken to follow this steppingstone is worth every second. It is not my intention to put you inside my strange head, but to help you use my research and planning skills in your own mind to find your own North Star. So, who am I? Some "young buck" from New York trying to give everybody advice? Negative ghost rider. I have done well, but I'm not the type of person to flaunt it or enjoy talking about it. I am grateful for what I have and may be the happiest person alive. One of my goals is to help others rise to their potential -by helping them find what direction that potential may be best pointed. I simply want to show you how I bought my first investment house and $20,000 motor home at 22 and finished my bachelor's at 23 while Active Duty in the Marine Corps. How I became my franchises' "youngest franchisee ever" at 24, bought my second house, first commercial property, started two more businesses...and so much more through the years. Now, do I promise you will make your first $1,000,000 before 30 and it will be easy? Nope. Not every career is for everyone, hence this guide. If money is your direct objective, strap in; while this guide is not for becoming rich, it may help you find the career you deserve to get you there. This guide will require you to develop a vow to yourself and to spend real, true, American blood, sweat and tears to complete it. Remember, I spent 6 years on and off writing this guide. Determination is going to be needed. Let's use a clear-cut, kiln dried, hog tied method to get you where you want to be, and then create a plan to make it so. Take this journey step by step, chapter by chapter and remove interruptions and distractions when you do so. When an idea or thought pops in your head put it on my copyrighted chart included in this guide. There are many guides, but THIS ONE IS YOURS!

The Gospel at Work


Book Description

Find God’s vision for your job. Reclaim God’s vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality—in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You’ll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize—or balance—work, family and church responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own—to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.

Life After Residency


Book Description

Life After Residency: A Career Planning Guide is an insightful, step-by-step guide to achieving a successful and fulfilling career in medicine. As professors at Stanford University Medical Center, Drs. Melissa Berhow, William Feaster, and John Brock-Utne began running seminars to advise their residents not only on creating a curriculum vitae and landing a great job, but also on how to manage student loan payments and avoid pitfalls in the life of a physician. The immense success and ensuing demand for more seminars eventually gave rise to Life After Residency—a book which continues the seminar discussions in greater depth and magnitude, while maintaining a conversational writing style. Key topics covered include: preparing for a job interview, evaluating job offers and negotiating contracts, obtaining and maintaining the proper State license, applying for membership onto Medical Staffs, obtaining malpractice insurance, buying a house and investing for eventual retirement, and pursuing non-medical career options. Loaded with sage advice and practical wisdom, Life After Residency is an invaluable asset to every resident during the transition from residency to life thereafter.
