Making the Most of my Life

This book is an excellent read and has tangible action items suggested to help with direction and inspiration for making the most out of life. I highly recommend it! "It's not what you know, but what you do with what you know that counts." The book's chapters are divided into anecdotes and stories with suggested rewards for changing behavior and action items to help accomplish changes and achieving goals. The chapters are: Harvesting Your Bonus Decade Making Your Days Count Triumphing Over Procrastination Making Things Happen Dusting Off Your Dreams Nourishing Your Mind Rising Above the Mean Dealing with Dissapointment The stories and anecdotes are outstanding especially the ones about the author, Jimmy Calano, who is one of the founders of a top international training company, CareerTrack. This book is both helpful professionally and personally. My wife really appreciated the chapter on making your days count and was inspired to institute the action items from that part of the book. I was encouraged by the chapter on dusting off your dreams to rediscover passion for our dreams. I needed this book at this time in my life to re-focus and to get encouragement about the changes that have taken place in my life, both in my home and career. "Knowing your dream - and passionately pursuing it - will lead you directly to your destiny."

Read this book before drafting your New Year's Resolutions

Having built four high-growth companies over the past 20 years, I have always considered myself a self-motivated, high achiever. But, a recent read of Jimmy Calano's book, "Make Your Move", provided me with the extra motivation I needed to make a life change that I had been contemplating for many years. Thanks to the chapter entitled "Dusting Off Your Dreams", I am now living a long-term dream and I couldn't be happier! This book is a fast read and is chock full of practical insights that will help motivate you to new heights. I highly recommend that you read this book before you draft your New Year's Resolutions!!!

Right Book at the Right Time

A well written mental health check that caused me to re-examine my personal best. Quick to the issue, informative and successful suggestive solutions crafted from someone in my own back yard. The how to on re-ignition of life's passions, time management techniques, and inspiring stories make this book a quick and easy read. Business owner or not, everyone can benefit from the insight gained from reading this book. Make Your Move is not only thought provoking, eloquently written, but highly motivational.

Engaging, Direct and Compelling

I was privileged to read this book in draft form and thought then that I wanted to duplicate it for my young-adult children. The final version is even better with great ideas for Mom and Dad also. Powerful first person stories, lessons learned from them and very specific action suggestions are all written in a refreshingly direct and engaging way. I've written and taught in the personal growth field for over thirty years and this is a surprisingly impactful book -- especially if you're considering any kind of transition in your life.
