Whether you've been laid off, burned out, or simply feel that your current role no longer aligns with your goals, this book helps you uncover what's next by using what you already have. Author Terry M. Daniels walks readers through how to redirect their education, professional experience, and life skills into a business that fits who they are and what the world needs now.
