In late ‘03 / early ‘04 I tried my hand at getting a book published (a different concept than The Occupational Adventure Guide, but still focused on career passion). I didn’t have the energy to take the bludgeoning that the process inevitably brings with it, and ultimately dropped it in favor of more pressing matters (you know…the little things, like generating revenue to keep a roof over my head and food on the table).
The good news is that I put a massive amount of work into that book proposal, much of which I can use as a base for this new one. I just pulled it out and have started repurposing it.
Ahhhhh…progress.

Recently I’ve been turning my attention to the prospect of publishing a book based on The Occupational Adventure Guide, a model I developed to help people make sense of the whole process of finding passion in their careers.
Last November/December I worked hardhardhard to create an e-book called The Occupational Adventure Guide: A Travel Guide to the Career of Your Dreams in time for the new year. It was a forced march kind of deadline push that got me to consolidate multiple projects I had worked on over the years into one piece. Not particularly enjoyable, but worth doing. And the feedback I’ve gotten on the e-book since then has been positive.
The book I’m going to pitch will essentially be a revised, refined, and expanded version of that e-book.
