The Compass Solution by Tim Cole

The Compass Solution by Tim Cole

Most people will spend--at minimum--100,000 hours building a career. This represents the greatest financial investment of their life. Unfortunately, a great many consider that investment with the same degree of critical thinking as they might the purchase of a lottery ticket--effectively gambling away their future.

The Compass Solution was written for those who want to win their career, not just endure it.
This is the definitive guide to successful career navigation. A practical resource that balances personal experience with proven theory. A guide for both the newcomer struggling to get started, and the veteran lost and effectively wandering.

This book will introduce you to the four cardinal points of The Compass. These are the basic principles you can use to change your career trajectory; explained in practical terms and brought to life with personal stories.

But The Compass Solution is more than just a career survival guide. The latter half of the book focuses on three keys that can accelerate your climb. Master them and you will move far beyond the masses.

The clock is ticking on your 100,000 hour narrative. The decisions you make today will dictate the outcome. This is the ONE guidebook that can actually help you write YOUR career story with a happy ending.

A lifetime of experience in one book, sharing the secrets most never learn. Why gamble your future when you don't have to?
