Are You an Outlier?
Sucess can be tough for outliers. Here is the personal code for success from one outlier. Of course, it all depends on how one defines success.
Perhaps you wonder. What is an outlier? There is no one perfect definition. It means you may think different than others or feel left out or you don’t relate to the status quo, or the status quo makes no sense. It may rules that seem to work for others don’t seem to work for you. Consider rethinking the rules.
In Rules Don’t Work for Me, we will explore nine principles to live and work by from an outlier perspective. This is not saying these principles or this code are the only way. They are just one way. The hope is that you will find your own way and embrace your own outlierness and uniqueness.
The principles are: Know Thyself, Develop Courage, Develop Mastery, Grow Your Pennies, Be Tenacious, Have Faith, Lead the Way, Challenge the System, and Save the World.
Author’s Note: Along with these principles, I will share a little of my story and stories from clients who came to me for coaching. Of course, I have changed the names of clients to protect their confidentiality.
Unconditional Love?
Not a romance. Not true love. This novel is the story of the love between sisters. It’s sometimes messy, sometimes angry, or downright hateful. But it is a love that endures. It is a love that rises above tough circumstances so quietly that it might be difficult to detect. You may doubt its existence. But the love is there, rock solid, and unbreakable. This is a raw, almost brutal read. Not for the faint of heart.
Across the Inlet won first place in the 2019 Writer’s DIgest Self-Published Book Award and third place in the 2019 Military Writers Society of Americal Awards.
“Summers masterfully weaves together the past and present in this absorbing volume, the first in a planned series, and her lyrical, almost spiritual, descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness create an evocative backdrop for the drama that unfolds.” – Kirkus Reviews
