GET INSPIRED - Lang, Janine

. .

Résumé :
Alex Wong scowled as he hit the snooze button on his alarm clock. Realizing that it was Monday morning, he pulled the covers over his head. But after a few minutes, that wrenching feeling in his gut didn't go away. Alex's mind was a million miles away as he ran the hairbrush a few times over his head. He thought, this is how I felt when I was ready to move on from my last job-stuck in my career! Leaving the bathroom, he couldn't bear to look himself in the eye. A couple of weeks later, Alex felt a surge of excitement and a boost of confidence as he left his last coaching session with Janine to begin his entrepreneurial journey. As he backed out of the parking spot, he glanced in his rearview mirror and noticed that he was smiling from ear to ear. GET INSPIRED is the story of how Alex got unstuck in his career. If you can relate to Alex's situation, this book is for you. We learn more from our failures than our successes. That was Janine Lang's inspiration for packaging up over two decades of her coaching experience in this book that describes the biggest struggles startups face when they ask themselves, 'Why do I want to start a business?' and 'What business would I start?' In this book, you will learn about the barriers that keep us stuck in our career, including:Fear of failure and fear of success Imposter syndrome Failure to shift away from old beliefs and our old identity Misperceptions about what it takes to be successful Pressure from skeptical friends, family, and social media followers GET INSPIRED contains practical lessons and tips for overcoming these barriers, as well as common myths, misperceptions, and mistakes related to thinking like an entrepreneur. Successful startups are clear in their minds about their passion, their purpose, and their polar star. Passion: By identifying your compelling 'why' or passion for starting a business, you will discover the strength to power you on your entrepreneurial journey. Purpose: Your success starts with validating that your business idea or purpose is both viable and inspiring, driving you forward and positioning you to win in the marketplace. Polar Star: By setting a goal for your business, you will define what success looks like for you, giving you a target to aim at. Is there a voice in your head telling you that you are meant for more? If so, don't ignore it. Don't settle for a corporate job that you hate. Now is the time to act! Prepare yourself for the journey ahead by taking GET INSPIRED along with you. It will warn you about the common traps that occur when transitioning from a corporate closet dreamer to a business owner, giving you the confidence you need to navigate them.
