"A Must Read for anyone who didn't attend - or finish"

I have always felt bad about not finishing college and was stuck. This book gave me the lift I needed PLUS real world steps I can take to get my career on track!

Road blocks, speed bumps, dead ends-- NOT ON THIS ROAD!

The author certainly has done what he simply inspires others to do through this book and that is to 1) don't let a thing stand in your way 2) embrace your passion 3) you've got to work diligently towards your goals 4) produce something to be proud of! That, indeed, will motivate you in the direction of your next goal "road". I've read many books and attended powerful seminars. By purchasing the book, I have invested in my simple reminder to never let a thing stand in my way.

"A Must-Read"

It was great to read a book that doesn't try to debate the value of education but instead, gets to the heart of the matter - what to do if you don't have a college degree! Practical advice presented in steps anyone can take to advance in their career, create their dream career and ultimately, find success in their lives. Thank you for writing such a positive book for all of us who so desperately need it.
