In my quest for human happiness and fulfillment I read a ton of e-books. I am always on the lookout for something that makes me jump up and say “wow!” Honestly, it doesn’t happen as often as I would like. This morning was different. I saw that Jonathan Fields had updated his Facebook status stating that he was launching CareerRenegade.com, and releasing The Fire Fly Manifesto. I have to admit the very names of both the site and the manifesto were a big draw for me. I kind of like the idea of being a renegade and I have always been fond of manifestos in general. So I just had to go check it out.
Three paragraphs into the manifesto I was pumping my fist, nodding my head vigorously and crying “yes, yes, yes” as I read. I was truly blown away! Jonathan’s words need to be read by as many people as possible in the coming months. People who have already been laid off need to hear his message, and people living in fear of the pink slip need it even more. If you can change the way you view the loss of a job, you can change your life. We are at one of those turning points in history and we can either choose to make some thing wonderful from it or we can cower in fear and get whipped by the winds of change. Thousands and thousands of people are being given the chance to hit the reset button their careers and their lives. The question is how many of them will see the chance for what it really is and dare to become career renegades?
Check out Jonathan’s The Fire Fly Manifesto and let me know what you think. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to pre-order Jonathan’s Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love
due out in January of 2009.
