DON'T READ THIS BOOK unless you want to TAKE CONTROL of your career, DOUBLE YOUR INCOME, and LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT.
Most people drift through their career, suffering from layoffs, downsizing, mergers, acquisitions and voluntary and involuntary job changes. They are overwhelmed by events. Why? Because they don't have a system to keep themselves ahead of the events that shape the biggest part of their lives, their career.
This book will give you the system you need to take control of your career and manage it, instead of it managing you.
During Tom's career inside the corporate world, he was laid off, down sized, right sized, divested, acquired, merged, and changed jobs voluntarily and involuntarily many times over nearly three decades and for more than the last two decades he didn't have a day of unemployment during that whole time.
In "Fire Yourself" Tom reveals the principle of career security and how to use it to your advantage in managing your career. He also gives you practical information about how to get and keep the job you want.
A former missionary and a U.S. Marine. He has survived and prospered in corporate life, rising to a six-figure salary before starting his own business.
Two Masters Degrees and a lifetime of learning as well as a 30+ year marriage have taught Tom what it takes to succeed at work, life, and business. In his life he has swept floors for a living as well as leading teams of hundreds of highly paid executives to deliver multi-million dollar projects on time and under budget for a Fortune 500 company.
In his books, Tom writes about what he knows. If he shares theory, it is theory that he has tested and proven in his own life and with others. He is adept at taking a complex idea and making it easily understood.
In fact, his ability to cut through the smoke and mirrors to the heart of matters has upset more than one person he has done business with.
Tom is sometimes controversial, occasionally too outspoken, and always honest.
He is an engaging speaker, mentor, and teacher. He brings his life experience to bear to deliver practical, working solutions to problems that people face every day. He knows that one of the biggest things that hold people back from succeeding is the mistaken belief that it cannot be done in this place or at this time. His experience shows otherwise.
