Everyone has been inspired and most people strive to inspire others in their lifetime. Whether you aim to make a difference in your career, you volunteer in a local charitable organization or church, or even if you simply work tirelessly to leave behind a positive impression upon friends and family; we all aspire to inspire. Think about someone or something that has motivated you to soar beyond where you thought you could go. Did a relative or teacher make a lasting impact that molded you into the person you are today? Did you have to wade through a time of deep struggling in order to come out victorious? Everyone has had that 'ah-ha' moment in their life when everything changes. Maybe yours is a life that seemed average and mundane until you made a decision that changed your story, or maybe you've picked up this book because you have yet to muster up the courage it takes to step out on your own and make that choice to share with the world what you have to offer. In the 21st Century, it seems that everything is changing. With the advancements of technology and the rapid growths and declines of businesses, you may feel unsure of yourself and your potential. What if we saw the world and our circumstances just a little bit differently? How could things change if our perspective shifted from the negative to the positive? Isn't that what inspiration is? Something that changes your perspective; something that makes someone feel like the impossible is suddenly within their grasp? Ready, Aim, Soar! offers a wealth of knowledge from experts who want to share their secrets with you. Feel inspired as they impart pearls of wisdom that they wish they'd have known when they began their own journeys. These one-of-a-kind interviews will dive deep into the life and career success of several professionals considered authorities in their field. They will share what motivated them to make a change that altered their paths in life and ultimately lead to their success. Their honest revelation of the bumps in the road along their way will remind you that they started out right where you are sitting. This treasure of information will give you the tools and the motivation you need to achieve the success you have been striving for in your business and personal life, as well as to remind you that everyone has something to give the world; it is your responsibility to step out of your comfort zone and share it! If ever there was a time that people needed to be inspired to soar, it is now! A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Operation Y.E.S., giving hope to the homeless.
