Description:

She started out just like everyone else

Sheri Fink was working in corporate doing online marketing. It was OK, but she knew there had to be more to life. She felt like there was something else she should be doing. “There has to be more to life,” she said to herself.

So, she did what most people are terrified to do. 

She quit with no plan or job lined up to do next. It felt like jumping off a cliff with no net. She gave her two weeks notice, transitioned her responsibilities and after her corporate career was over, she thought... Now what?


Then it happened

Days after her last day, she had a chance to got to a Jack Canfield event. Everything changed. She became aware of the fact that you can have whatever you want – if you want it bad enough. Click here for Jack Canfield's Success Principles.

 

She was off and running. She decided to write children's books and never looked back. She loved what she was doing and was charging forward with fierce devotion to getting what she wanted. She decided she was going to become a best selling author. 


Reality sets in

It was really hard. Well-known and well-meaning people started telling her she needed to “adjust her expectations.” But she didn't. 

I'm not a big fan of reality

Sheri is a hugely successful children's book author and one of her books has been adapted for stage. She got past a lot of obstacles to get there and on this episode of the “How to Quit Working Show” she is going to tell us how she did it as well as:


 How she got up the courage and motivation to quit her job with nothing lined up.

 The new way of thinking that has allowed her to get Whatever She Wants in life.

 What she did when people told her she needed to consider lowering her expectations.
