BOOK REVIEW - Just Get On With It! A Caring Compassionate Kick Up the Ass! Ali Campbell
Really is what it says on the cover No more procrastination or excuses. Want to turn your life around? Then begin!
 | | Click pic for review |
Refreshingly, Ali Campbell, 'Mr Fix It' to celebrities, business leaders and even royalty, makes it clear that he does not provide within this book all the (coaching and other) answers that we seek in order to live a fulfilled life. However, more importantly and with guidance, he shows us how to recognise, reconnect with, trust and harness a power that many have lost touch with, possibly the most valuable resource in the universe embedded deep within us, our gut feeling, intuition, call it what you will. back to top... |
