Welcome to Litsy!

It took me sixteen years to write this book. That breaks down to a brisk twelve words per day. But it wasn�t the writing that took so long. . . . It was the working. I had to work at big companies and small companies. I had to get hired and fired several times. I had to find my dream job, then walk away from it. But after all that, I can now say the following with absolute certainty: You already have everything you need for an amazing career. In fact, you�ve had it since day one. Starting on the first day you got paid to scoop ice cream or restock shelves, you�ve had the chance to develop the four elements all great careers have in common: relationships, skills, character, and hustle. You already have each of those, to one degree or another. Now it�s time to amplify them and apply them in a new way, creating a Career Savings Account�. This unique approach will give you the power to call a Do Over�whether you�re twenty-two, forty-two, or sixty-two. You�ll have the resources to reinvent your work and get unstuck. You�ll even rescue your Mondays as you discover how to work toward the job you�ve always wanted! Just as a bank account protects you during a financial crunch, a Career Savings Account� protects you during a career crunch. You need a CSA because you�ll eventually face at least one of these major transitions: � You will hit a Career Ceiling and get stuck, requiring sharp skills to free yourself. � You will experience a Career Bump and unexpectedly lose your job, requiring strong relationships to survive. � You will make a Career Jump to a new role, requiring solid character to push through uncertainty and chaos. � You will get a surprise Career Opportunity, requiring dedicated hustle to take advantage of it. It took me sixteen years to figure out how to call a Do Over on my career. Please don�t wait sixteen more seconds before starting yours.
