Book Just Released by President of StartingOverNow.com Helps Create Your Personal and Career Plan for 2014

Pittsburgh, PA, December 19, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Mary Lee had to reinvent her life when as a stay at home mother she filed for divorce from a bad situation. She walked away from the country club life whereby she and her four children under seven ended up homeless and on welfare, food stamps and medical assistance. With a background whereby she could earn roughly $29,000 a year she applied the strategies in this book and became the CEO of three separate organizations over the next 17 years.

Every New Year’s Eve people set goals for the year: “I will lose 10 pounds.” “I will grow sales by 20 percent.” “I will get a new job.” “I will launch a new division of my business.” “I will buy a new house.” Over time most of those goals are not realized so you become conditioned to set lower reaching goals the next year: “I will not swear.” “I’ll create a new sales strategy.” “I will call my parents once a week.” “I will stop drinking coffee.” Then when you can’t even stick with these “lower bar” goals you stop setting goals all together because in the back of your mind you believe that you will not be able to accomplish them anyway so what’s the point.

Mary Lee wrote this book because each year in her coaching practice she sees more and more people from executives to those in life transition who believe they have set solid goals that in fact are simply notions - not measurable or accountable. “I will start a business” is a notion. “I will find the man of my dreams” is a notion. “I will take my family on a vacation” is a notion. “I will get a new job” is a notion. They need goals, strategy and measurable accountability. Many people have lost money, relationships, freedom, autonomy, jobs, businesses and more chasing one-dimensional notions. Or they didn’t know exactly what to aspire to and wasted a lot of time and energy trying to figure it out.
