Book description

Think about where you are in life right at this moment. How does it compare with your dreams? You may have let go of a few life goals over the years, as "real life" took over and made grand gestures seem like impractical fantasies. But no matter where you are on your life's journey, it's not too late to reclaim your dreams and achieve the life you've always wanted! It's absolutely possible to design your own lifestyle instead of just allowing circumstance to dictate your daily routine.

How to Succeed in 12 Months: Creating a Life You Loveis your ultimate guide to turning your dreams into reality. Author Serena Star-Leonard is living the dream herself, having practiced what she preaches. In the book, she shares the secrets behind figuring out the steps that will get you the life you've always wanted, and taking those steps in leaps and bounds. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme, but a one-year plan to stepping out of your rut and into your most fulfilling life. Star-Leonard provides a roadmap to:

  • Breaking your dreams into small, actionable steps

  • Eliminating excuses and gaining confidence

  • Prioritizing your goals for better planning

  • Designing your lifestyle around your interests

    • Whether you've been looking for a way to work closer to your dreams, or are just looking for a way out of the rat race, Star-Leonard is your guide to make big things happen. How to Succeed in 12 Months: Creating a Life You Love is the key that opens the door to a more fabulous version of your life.
