WHAT'S THIS BOOK ABOUT?
Do you every feel burned out, beat up, or just plain old bored by the monotony of everyday life wondering, "Is this all there is?" Do you ever feel trapped in a stress-filled job that leaves you unhappy and unfulfilled? Do you ever question if you're doing what you're supposed to be doing – if you're fulfilling your life's purpose? If so, you are not alone.
You were created by design for a very specific purpose. Just as musicians must make music, poets must write, and artists must paint, you too have a unique gift that will bring both meaning and purpose to your life.
How are you supposed to find your life's purpose? Many religious books declare that it's primarily up to God to show you the way. Most self-help books claim that motivation is the answer. The reality is – they're both missing the mark. In this revolutionary new book, Brian Souza dispels the myths and shares the truth.
Become Who You Were Born to Be is not only a blueprint on how to succeed in business; it is a blueprint for succeeding in life. Among the many lessons, you will learn:
- Why motivation isn't the answer
- Four steps toward discovering your gift, uncovering your passion, and unlocking your purpose
- Why a mid-life crisis should be celebrated
- How to work passion into your profession
- The untold secrets of top achievers
- How you can succeed by failing
- How to overcome fears and deal with change
- How to diagnose and fix flawed life patterns
- The power of little decisions
- How to stop stressing and start living
- How to avoid the goal-setting trap
To illustrate his philosophy, Souza draws upon inspiring true stories about everyday people who became heroes by overcoming adversity and squeezing every ounce of opportunity from their gifts. You will learn about:
- An inner-city boy raised in the Projects who became the visionary leader of Starbucks Coffee
- A poor baker who became a billionaire
