If you are in desperate need of a passion refresher, read Improbable Possibilities: An Entrepreneur’s Quest. The author Linda E. Rawlings offers readers a refreshing perspective on the journey to success. She does this by sharing her own journey. But, rather than focusing solely on her achievements, Rawlings jumps into the personal and pivotal moments that truly shaped her entrepreneurial spirit. Success isn’t everything, the end result of success is great, but what truly shapes you is the journey.
I really enjoyed Rawlings’ style of writing. It’s unique, fun and authentic. This book is a great way to change your perspective if you are afraid of failure. Failure is and important opportunity, it is what brings you growth and new knowledge. I really admired Rawlings’ willingness to take risks and embrace the unknown. These are things I’m working on in myself, and it’s easier said than done! But reading literature like this lights a fire under you. It’s a reminder that success often lies just beyond our comfort zones. I’ve always found this to be true. When you’re ready to move on to the next stage of your life, reach beyond your comfort zone! Whether you’re a business person or looking for that push of inspiration to level up your life, I think Improbable Possibilities is the book to read.
