Recently I contributed an article to the first volume in a new series of books called Launchpad: Your Career Search Strategy Guide, brought to you by the folks at Career Rocketeer, that can help you:

  • Take your career to the next level
  • Get started changing careers
  • Establish your personal brand
  • And much more!

Launchpad

The chapter I contributed is how to use your voicemail greeting to propel you to greatness, and while I know you’ll love that chapter, it’s the other chapters that made me buy 10 copies of Launchpad to give away to folks I present to.

What excited me most was the multitude of experts who contributed to this project. Folks I already know and respect like William Arruda, GL Hoffman, Liz Lynch, Chris Perry and Phil Rosenberg, and many I have quickly become familiar with like William Arruda, Meghan Biro, John Crant, Maria Elena Duron, Hajj Flemings, and Meg Giuseppi, to name just a few.

A collection of talent like this normally would have you invest $20 or $30. For some reason, Launchpad is very reasonably priced at just $8.99.

Full disclosure: I don’t get anything for recommending you this book (not even an affiliate link). I share it with you because I know if you pick up a copy, it will help you improve your life.
