praise for Amazing Things Will Happen "For people who want to make a leap into a new kind of career but just can't quite make the jump, C.C. Chapman offers practical advice, real-life examples, and thoughtful, realistic encouragement that will allow them to dare to do amazing things." Gretchen Rubin, author of Happier at Home and The Happiness Project "This book is a field manual for living life with passion and gusto. Read it only if you're prepared for amazing things!" Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup This book is not a how-to manual for life. It doesn't deliver a step-by-step approach that you execute in order to achieve an amazing life. Rather, it offers a collection of thoughts and inspiration that will get you up and guide you on a journey toward a more fulfilling life. Amazing Things Will Happen??shows how others got it done and gives you the inspiration to chase your dreams. You'll be empowered to: * Cope with the situation you are currently in and make the most of it until you can break free * Define your goals and set out realistic tasks to reach them * Navigate the sea of doubters and obstacles to get to where you want to be * Be happier, satisfied, and more rewarded by the life you choose to lead
