The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and

the patterns, qualities, and behaviors that help founders achieve greatness.

achieve financial stability, and survive competitive landscapes. The Common
Path to Uncommon Success is a useful crash course in career counseling for
any aspiring entrepreneur.

The Squiggly Career: Ditch the Ladder, Embrace Opportunity and Carve Your Own Path
Through the Squiggly World of Work by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis

The Squiggly Career ditches the myth that following a prescribed path is the
only way to achieve professional success. Many accomplished individuals
had nonlinear careers. The authors show readers that it is never too late to
pursue a new path, change direction, or switch tactics to take control of your
professional destiny. The book provides a blueprint for identifying values
and strengths, overcoming doubt and imposter syndrome, building support
systems, and uncovering a wealth of potential. The Squiggly Career is a
modern reimagining of the career self-help guide.

Choosing a career can feel overwhelming, especially in the modern
work world where options abound and the interviewing process can
be intensive and competitive. However, your initial job does not have
to be your career. Working gradually towards a dream profession is
acceptable, as is changing careers. Career books can help readers
feel less stressed and more confident in the job search, and can
make the path between first job and dream job less confusing.
