About this audiobook
Take the Leap features inspiration and advice from game changers, rule breakers, and side hustlers who once stood where you are now, wondering if they should take a risk. They went from production assistant to million-dollar screenplay writer; attorney to surf instructor; mom to DJ; hairdresser to firefighter; real estate agent to award-winning chef.
Do you want to go for that career you’ve always dreamed about? Launch a new company? Become a tech mogul? Live a life of adventure? Save the world? You’ll find wisdom from successful mentors like creative visionary and writer Simon Doonan, entrepreneur Barbara Corcoran, NFL player turned artist/activist Aaron Maybin, and wellness and beauty guru Bobbi Brown.
Whether you watch Shark Tank religiously and think I could have thought of that, or harbor daydreams about traveling the globe in style, your wildest career dream is represented in this empowering guidebook. Take the Leap serves as the reminder we all need: don’t settle—go after whatever it is that you truly want.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Claiming it now, reading this book has changed my life. Thank you!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Started strong and as it progressed I felt the message becomes disjointed as there are many 'authors'. Perhaps it is better 'read' than 'listened'? I do enjoy hearing about peoples successes and try to glean information from their stories but I found it hard to find the take away points apart the title itself.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book. Highly recommended for those courageous enough to live the life of their dreams
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nice little book. I enjoyed the various narratives and the format. Gives me hope that I could change my career too.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The stories of so many individuals to take a leap in order to have a more fulfilling life inspires me to rethink my own path.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and with that in mind, I wasn’t expecting anything out of it. Had I purchased it myself expecting career advice I may have been disappointed. There many different paths/options outlined, most of which are possibly unattainable to those that are trying to switch careers simply because they are unrealistic. I thought the book was simply a fun way to look at jobs you may never get to have. If you buy it for that and think of pie in the sky dream jobs,then it’s a fun read.
