When it comes to dealing with uncertainty, nobody handles it better than successful entrepreneurs. That’s why you want to take the same approach they do! Based on extensive research and interviews, Own Your Future shows how to apply the simple model they use – Act. Learn. Build. Repeat – to reinvent the way you maneuver in an unpredictable job market. Here’s how it works. Instead of picturing your perfect career and working backwards, simply begin with the direction you want to go and take a small step. Thinking alone will never change your life – you must ACT. Then evaluate the lessons you learn from that first step, build on them, and take another step in your desired direction. Repeat this process until you have achieved your goal. When you consider that your job – perhaps even your industry – may disappear, you have no choice but to take control. Filled with stories of professionals of all kinds who have profited from this proactive approach, Own Your Future gives you the tools you need to succeed – no matter what comes your way.
