Summary
It's Sunday evening and you've just finished eating dinner. Your weekend is behind you and the coming workweek looms large. Tentacles of dread creep over you as you feel that all-too-familiar dull pain in the pit of your stomach. That ache and anxiety are signals that you've strayed from the path of your career potential.
You know what you want. You want a fantastic, engaging, productive, and financially rewarding career that fits in with your life goals. Other people have achieved this kind of success. What is it that separates the best from the rest? More importantly, how can you join this group of achievers and reap the satisfaction and rewards that they so obviously enjoy?
The hallmark of successful entrepreneurs and top corporate executives is Career Intensity - the drive for continuous individual improvement. Super-achievers are highly self-aware, know their strengths and weaknesses, and recognize and aggressively pursue business opportunities. They channel their passion into an emotional competitive advantage that makes them unstoppable.
Career Intensity isn't a genetic trait; it's a strategy that you can learn and employ in order to find your way back to the path of your career potential. From there, you can go on to achieve the success you so richly deserve.
This book is designed to level the playing field. It is a guide that will provide you with the framework to begin a lifelong process of continuous improvement and growth. You will apply principles and best practices used by business superstars to your own life and for your own benefit. Just as super-achievers draw a straight line from where they are to where they want to be, Career Intensity will maximize your career value and unwaveringly guide you to your dreams.
