Career Book Series

Welcome to a series of books and videos whose authors offer their insights into what makes the kind of person who lives life to its fullest benefit, both for themselves and for others. FOUNDATIONS OF SOUGHT-AFTER PEOPLE brings together works of great wisdom. It provides encouragement to those who wish to rise above the common norm. My experience has been that such people are not as impacted by down-cycles in life, business, and the economy, as are those who follow the crowd. Rather, they go beyond the details of resumes, career paths, and job hunting to build a solid underpinning for their lives. These are the people who have enduring careers and solid employment.

These books and videos are sponsored by this website. As more are added to this series, they will be listed on this page.
