Some books not only serve as great teaching tools for your personal and professional development but, sometimes, they’re also inspiring to read.
I’m excited to let you know that I’ve got just such a book for you to check out today. It’s called The Walk-On Method to Career and Business Success: 31 Underdogs Who Became Extraordinary by Jim Roddy.
In it, Jim features 31 underdog athletes (boy, can I relate) who parlayed their college experience into habits that led to career and business success.
Most people don’t realize, Jim says, they’re in control of their career trajectory. Ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things when their energy is properly channeled.
Jim’s book will show you how through inspiring stories and his proven five-step Walk-On Method.
I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Jim and his work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
