    From the creator of the #1 podcast "Don't Keep Your Day Job," an inspiring book about turning your passion into profit

    The pursuit of happiness is all about finding our purpose. We don't want to just go to work and build someone else’s dream, we want to do our life's work. But how do we find out what we’re supposed to contribute? What are those key ingredients that push those who succeed to launch their ideas high into the sky, while the rest of us remain stuck on the ground?

    Don’t Keep Your Day Job will get you fired up, ready to rip it open and use your zone of genius to add a little more sparkle to this world. Cathy Heller, host of the popular podcast Don’t Keep Your Day Job, shares wisdom, anecdotes, and practical suggestions from successful creative entrepreneurs and experts, including actress Jenna Fischer on rejection, Gretchen Rubin on the keys to happiness, Jen Sincero on having your best badass life, and so much more. You’ll learn essential steps like how to build your side hustle, how to find your tribe, how to reach for what you truly deserve, and how to ultimately turn your passion into profit and build a life you love.

      When a book makes me cry in less than 5 mins I know the author is speaking from their heart! This book changed my life before I finished reading it!
    • 5/5
      So inspiring and positive, with plenty of calls to action with numbered lists. Cathy is a bit more granola hippie than I expected, but I really felt it was genuine. Anyone looking for a helpful push into taking control of your life and starting a business should listen.

    • 5/5
      What most people like me strrugle with is how to start building up and make progress with any future plan without giving up in the long run. She has taught me that success does not come in a short time but everyday focusing and taking action on our target. Every little step counts. Time and patience are key. This audiobook is in my everyday audiobook list to listen. A lot of advices, insights and suggestions to start your passion in whatever you love to. A guide to listen to it every single day, loved it!!!
    • 5/5
      Great book. It's inspiring and realistic. Must be read more than once to really grasp what's being said.
    • 5/5
      As dumb as this sounds, I almost didn’t read this book because I thought the cover was too tacky to have any real applicable information. Man was I wrong. This has to be one of my favorite books I’ve ever read and it’ll be going on the re read list! Don’t judge a book by its cover or else you might miss out on some golden nuggets
    • 5/5
      Loved the tone of this book! So encouraging but also hit you with the tough love comments that everyone needs to hear! There was such good concrete advice and step by step instructions on how to grow and be better across so many different avenues of life and business. Loved it!
    • 5/5
      Very inspiring audiobook. Great marketing strategies as well. A must read for all creatives.
    • 5/5
      This book is so dense with good advice! I'm gonna have to read it a few more times to get everything I possibly can out of it. It definitely inspired me to think in more creative ways about my skill set.
