Young professionals in the US face fierce competition unlike that of any other generation. This creates an environment where the only way to truly realize success is to diligently work and plan your future, potentially years before you know where you really want to end up, and even then, you can still fail.

I want anyone who is willing to take the time and initiative over their life to have a chance at succeeding. I hope my book will help others realize that success is within their reach.
