Living Forward is a wake-up call on life. Some people experience the wake-up call when serious illness strikes, or with the loss of a spouse or job or anything valuable and meaningful that defines and completes a person. Wouldn't you rather have the wake-up call in the form of a life-changing book?
It may seem like a daunting task to think about having a vision for your life, and it can be, but I found Living Forward to be a challenging, yet friendly, coach, stepping me through a thought process that is life-changing.
Distraction is the word of the day and it is causing massive drift in the lives of people. Overwhelmed executives, stretched stay-at-home parents, side-lined creatives, and frustrated masses of people are drifting far from the life that is their best life, full of rich relationships, meaning, purpose and abundance.
Living forward helps the reader really take an honest assessment and recognize the drift then quickly moves into a gentle, but provoking look at where this drift will lead unless changes are made. We were created for purpose and we cannot lead others until we learn self-leadership.
Living Forward is not just for those in business, but for those who place a high value on relationships (or wish to do that) and want more from life. The steps outlined in the book are helping me to filter my opportunities to focus on what really matters. I am a champion plate-spinner, I want to do it all! I am learning that I need to reprioritize and reorganize my life and scale back on certain activities to make room for growth in areas that are important to me.
"The lesson is simple. You get what you focus on.... the future must be enticing enough to stay focused."
Hyatt and Harkavy call this Pull Power.
"So many of us have settled for what is, rather than what could be. We have convinced ourselves that things will never change. But they can change if we give ourselves permission to dream again. What kind of future motivates you?"
Give yourself permission to dream again, no matter your age or current circumstance.
YOU are worth the investment in time but you will need this book to step you through this thought process.
You will learn how to design your legacy, craft a life plan and make it happen.
This book is for you.
It would be a great book to work through alone, with your spouse, your team, your small group or a trusted friend.

It just might make you a better person
I got an advance copy of the book for review, but before I even finished it, I was clear that Living Forward was already making me a better human being. I read a LOT of non-fiction and the idea of creating a life plan isn't new (Hyatt and Harkavy admit that openly), but what makes this book so effective is how it holds your feet to the fire in an almost loving way (can I say loving and non-fiction in the same breath without coming off as woo-woo?). The first exercise in the book takes you deep into examining what you really want your life to look like in the future (akin to Covey's "begin with the end in mind"). Again, not a new concept, but this time, at least for me, a much more effective result. Maybe it was the way the exercise was worded, or maybe it was the depth with which the authors explained the process. Whatever the reason, where "7 Habits" fell short for me, Living Forward hits the mark. You don't just think about it, you feel it, and as the title of the book alludes, you build a plan to "Stop drifting and get the life you want". I am fortunate enough to get books like this to review all the time. Rarely do I buy multiple copies of the book for the important people in my life. This time, I not only bought copies for my clients, I also bought them for my mastermind group - people who help to hold me to a higher standard. This book was THAT important to me, and I have a feeling it will be equally important to them. A good portion of the content in Living Forward is similar to concepts I teach and use with my own clients. Why would I recommend they read this book? Because it goes deeper and augments the work I'm doing with them in an effective, efficient way that's relate-able to the creatives and the more linear clients that I work with. BOTH sides of your brain will be better off for reading this book.
