(prHWY.com) February 28, 2012 - Los Angeles, CA -- As a leading marketer for Fortune 500 national brands including Motorola, Nautilus Fitness, Eddie Bauer and Revlon,
Robert Michael Fried has applied his considerable creativity to how to live. His much awaited new book is like a success life coach in a box.
Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion: A Businesslike Guide to Fulfill Your Professional Goals and Personal Dreams, is winning critical and reader acclaim. It was an Amazon best seller at launch and digital editions are available on Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, Sony Ready and iTunes. It will be available at major booksellers in the spring.
Igniting Your True Purpose is a compelling read and a profound roadmap to making meaning and money. The exercises in the book are designed to help one build self worth. Too many personal growth attempts start by identifying and trying to "fix" weaknesses, says Fried. He helps reader focus on finding and building from strengths. He also shares lessons from his "own personal school of hard knocks."
Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion expands on many of the
self help book points readers found helpful in Fried's 2005 book, A Marketing Plan for Life: 12 Essential Business Principles to Create Meaning, Happiness, and True Success.
Mindful of readers whose experience may tilt toward business success or motivational self help, Fried frames his ideas for both worlds. Each chapter title defines both personal and professional insight. For instance, Assess the Market (professional or business insight) is subtitled Capitalizing on Your Own Strengths (personal). Others chapter titles include Weather the Product Cycles, or Reinventing Yourself at Every Stage; and Plan Your Distribution, subtitled Investing Your Time and Energy Wisely. Twenty pages of personal exercises add to the book's value as affordable, DIY professional coaching.
For people who have been unemployed Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion can be a excellent guide and mentor particularly now that business indicators show this is a great time to gear up and pursue a dream job. Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion will also support one in the inevitable experience of dealing with stress as well as the many decisions presented by a job search. Fried has also launched a new online community to help readers connect and support one another.
