Author Craig Sroda's mission is to guide people toward ways that work for them to live their lives intentionally. His goal is to influence 100,000 people to create a life plan by 2022. With the ripple effect, those 100,000 people will influence one million through their five domains of life: personal, family, vocation, community and faith. Sroda co-founded and served as CEO of Pinnacle of Indiana — one of Indiana's largest Microsoft partners — for 18 years. His passion is helping individuals operate in their "sweet spot”— a place where their passion and strengths intersect so they can maximize their potential. Sroda's previous books include You in the Sweet Spot and Intentional Living and Leadership. After completing his first life plan and exposing priorities of his faith, his wife, three daughters and wanting to help others live on purpose, he sold his company. He is committed to helping others recognize their natural strengths and know their "why.”  For more information and support, please visit www.craigsroda.com. My review I received this book to review earlier this year and wanted to work through it before making a comment. It's taken me a few months, but I have set goals and plans, and guess what? I've actually made quite a lot of changes to my working life and personal life already.  You are taken step by step through the workbook, given examples and exercises, although I still need to get to grips with my time management.  I could go on and on about how good this workbook is, but I won't. What I will say is I love to create whether it be in writing or filmmaking and since I started to work with this book I've set up my own Graphic Design business. Something I never expected to do. So thanks Craig C. Sroda I wish you every success with your book.
