From the Author
I see many young people who are frustrated and discouraged with their attempts to achieve their career, academic and personal goals. They don't have a road map to show them how to get where they want to go.

Most of us are capable of doing almost anything we set our minds to. However, knowledge of your personality preferences will help you understand why you are not motivated to do just anything.

By nature we are motivated toward certain pursuits and not others. Being aware of our personality preferences brings focus and helps us make decisions that optimize our natural inherent gifts and talents. With this knowledge, we remain scattered and unfocused.

This workbook will guide you through this new concept in self-awareness and help you focus on your natural strengths. You will take an inner journey of discovery that will assist you in making meaningful decisions concerning school, work, and your personal life.
