How are you investing your life?

Some of the most-asked questions in business are career-related:

• ‚How do I decide when to leave my current company?‘


• ‚How do I pick which company I should join?‘


• ‚How do I get a bigger job?‘

Where you choose to work and how you invest your life is what makes the difference between achieving financial freedom, the joy of building something legendary, and having agency over your life-or spending 30 years of your life working for the next Xerox, counting down the days until you retire (and hopefully you have enough money socked away in your 401k).

So, how do you know whether you are investing your life in a career that has a real shot at producing a legendary outcome for the world, you, and your family?

In this ‚mini-book‘ you will learn:

• How to make the most of your career and ’spot‘ Category Leaders, like Tesla and Patagonia, early.
