The Friday Advantage

Manage Your Life & Career on Your Own Terms

This book is not a trail map through life. It is more like a travel log pointing out some interesting sights to see, some things to avoid, and some experiences you may wish to entertain. Most of all, I hope you will develop your own insights and inspirations and have a wonderful trip through your personal and professional life.

You have the opportunity to navigate through your life as you choose. Be assured, you will get somewhere. So why not deliberately choose your pathway and your eventual destination?
