This book is subtitled: 25 Secrets to Help You Crush Your Starting Career. Written by Reuben King Jr, Andrew Cramp and Nate Horgan, it’s really short and a very quick read.
There is a section for each of the topics: your dreams, your team and yourself. Sub-topics include things like break down your goals, stay focused, network, showcase your talents and continue to learn. Each of the three sections ends with a question and answer part relating to each of the sub-topics. Motivational quotes are dotted throughout.
I didn’t think there was anything particularly different or new about this book, but then I’m not really the target audience. It is aimed at young professionals and might make a good gift for a graduate, especially one who likes sports. Given the authors’ sports background, there are lots of sports analogies and references to the NFL. I didn’t like that as it doesn’t speak to me, but goal setting and team work do relate really well to sports. I can understand why it works for the intended audience.

This review will appear on GirlsGuideToPM.com in a few weeks.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for letting me read this book for an honest review. All opinions are my own!

Section 1 : Your dreams (follow your dreams, break down your goals, accept failure and don't fear it, don't make excuses, stay focused, take risks, work hard and do it consistently, the law of attraction)

Section 2 : Your team (your friends, create a supportive team, mentorship, network, seek like-minded individuals, accountability, celebrate the successes of others)

Section 3 : Yourself (create positive habits, take care of your health, make time to enjoy life, make time to disconnect, strengthen your shortcomings, prepare to make sacrifices, showcase your talents, provide value, be genuine, continue to learn)

I liked it! Full of good points and details and I loved the questions we get to answer after thinking about ourselves and people in our life.
My favorite parts were sections 1 and 3.

It was a bit short though.
