๐Ÿค” Nearly everyone in Corporate America believes the way to be happy at work is to succeed at work, and to succeed at work is to perform the job well that is given to them.

But ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น? Rather, what if it makes you feel stuck? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ I certainly felt that way after working in the corporate world for a while.

Then, about 7 years ago, I started one of the most important journeys of my life which became so consequential to my career.

It was my โ€œ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟโ€; an experimental phase where I got to plug and play new ideas. I talked to so many people; I took many classes and workshops; and I tried wearing different hats at work outside my comfort zone.

โ“ The question I chased was: โ€œ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—œ ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—น๐˜† ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ท๐—ผ๐—ฏ?โ€

โœ… After 5 years of excavation, ideation, and experiments, I got the answer โ€” ๐—ฌ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—œ ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ป.

๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ ๐—ฆ๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚. Iโ€™m serious.

But itโ€™s not easy to get started โ€” thatโ€™s why I wrote this book: <๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—š๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ> so that you can coach yourself throughout your own Placeholder journey.

In ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, there are 3 elements that will guide you through your own journey:

I strongly believe that this book could become a ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜€, ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต for those who feel stuck in their career, deeply longing for creating something new for themselves, with unbounded possibilities.
