I just approved the final proof for Dirty Secrets of the World's Worst Employee! I'm super excited and equally nervous about its release. It's not easy to publish every mistake I've made in my career, especially since I'm nowhere near being financially set. I'll need to maintain my current job (or similar employment) for the next 30 years, so hopefully my new memoir doesn't affect my chances of gainful employment.
Regardless, this story needs to be told. For most people, professional successes and failures are directly linked to one's self-esteem. If we fail in our careers, we feel like we've failed in life. In reality, every person and every company makes mistakes. One wrong turn doesn't eliminate any future hope of success.
Here's a quote from Dirty Secrets of World's Worst Employee that sums it up pretty well;
"My imperfections helped me discover my talent and my purpose. They gave me an interesting story to tell and advice worthy of sharing. The world is filled with passionate people who are proactively pursuing their purpose, all of whom are flawed. Never let self-doubt or the fear of failure stop you from chasing your dreams with enthusiasm. You only fail when you stop trying."
