The Wealthy Speaker Show  

On May 12, 11:00am, EST, you are going to have the Chris Gardner experience. The Pursuit of Happyness, the #1 New York Times bestselling book and hit movie starring Will Smith, made Chris Gardner a household name and a worldwide inspiration. And there is nobody better qualified to speak to today’s harsh economic truths and how to deal with them than Gardner, formerly a homeless single father and currently the owner and CEO of an institutional investment firm.
 
Everywhere he goes, people clamor for his advice. Now in START WHERE YOU ARE: Life Lessons in Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be (Amistad; On Sale: May 12, 2009; $26.99; Hardcover), Gardner shares the key concepts that have guided him on his climb to the top. The foundation of his plan for financial, emotional and spiritual success: “Start where you are.” Those four words written on a pad while Gardner was struggling became his mantra, reminding him at his lowest moments to focus on maximizing the assets he already had in his arsenal while building towards those he desired. In these tough times, this simple but powerful idea can help everyone capitalize on their innate strengths, skills and talents to move ahead with confidence and resilience.

Bursting with positive energy, START WHERE YOU ARE offers support, direction and down-to-earth straight talk from a man who has survived adversity and triumphed. This is the book for you if you’re facing the loss of a job or a home and don’t know where to turn; if you have a goal but can’t move past excuses; if you can’t find your niche in a crowded marketplace; or if you are successful but no longer feel passionate about your job or your life.
