You know you've arrived when someone like GL Hoffman asks you to endorse his upcoming book. GL is a serial entrepreneur and venture investor/operator/incubator/mentor. Two of his companies have traveled the entire success path from the garage to IPO. He has been featured in Forbes, Wall Street Journal, and other publications. He's obviously been around the business block a few times and has the full force of his experience behind his popular career advice blog and company JobDig. He is also a weekly guest writer for the U.S. News and World Report.
GL's new book Dig Your Job is a collection of all his wisdom for anyone seeking to get and stay happily employed. I, of course, was delighted to endorse the book, because GL's job and career philosophy very closely matches my own. The book is expected to appear on Amazon next week and you may want to keep an eye out for it. In the meantime, here's my endorsement. Way to go, GL!:
"GL Hoffman's book supplies volumes of practical advice without ever losing sight of the big picture: create meaning and engagement in your work, and you'll build a truly successful career for yourself. But there is more to Dig Your Job than just career advice. What you get here is a book jam-packed with much-needed wisdom that could be applied to just about any other area of your life. "Don't blame others," "Worry is the misuse of your imagination," "Change your attitude" - GL doesn't mince words in making it clear: no one but you is responsible for your happiness, whether at work or in life. Following GL's advice will not just make you better at crafting a career of your dreams: it will help you build a better life."
