About Backbone Not Wishbone

From the publisher's feed

If you're into detailed and specific tactics for success in business & achieving wellness, and want to hear from someone who's seen and done a lot, you're in the right place! I wasn't born in this country, I didn't go to college, I've had to file for bankruptcy, hide from collectors, had my car repossessed, and my electricity shut off. I did a terrible job of managing work/life "balance" and prioritizing my needs. I've been the employer and the employee, done the firing and been fired… I am your friend that's done a lot, seen a lot, fucked up a lot, yet ultimately managed to achieve both success and happiness. In the same time :)
