What it is that you plan to do with this wonderful life you have? And, how do you plan to make a lasting impact while you are in this world?
Whatever your answers are, you cannot simply sit around and wait for someone to help you to fulfill your goals. You need to push yourself forward and make your dreams become your reality. You are the manager and the driver of your life.
It’s this notion that is deeply rooted and brilliantly articulated in the book called, The Start-Up of You.
Written by Ben Casnocha and the co-founder and chairman of LinkedIn Reid Hoffman, the book focuses on how and why you should manage your career (and even your life) like an entrepreneur manages a start-up. It emphasizes that you should take risks, greatly invest in yourself, and ultimately, think of your career as a start-up.
As a review on Amazon.com states, “[It’s] a blueprint for thriving in your job and building a career by applying the lessons of Silicon Valley’s most innovative entrepreneurs. This book isn’t about cover letters or resumes. Instead, you will learn the best practices of Silicon Valley start-ups, and how to apply these entrepreneurial strategies…”
We here at RIZZARR recommend that you read this book because it will make you think differently about the life that you are leading, and how you can use your life to make a lasting impact on the world.
As the world continues to evolve, maybe it’s about time that we realize that we should not simply aim to go with the flow of life. Instead, we should actually take part in it, using our gifts and dreams to make a lasting, positive impact on the world.
