According to a USA Today poll of more than 1,000 working Americans, less than 10 percent of all employees feel that they are prestigious in the jobs they perform. As many as 60 percent of all employees will freely admit they wish they had another job. Few people are happy with their lots in life and yet many of them do not know how to fix the problem. They do not know how to start searching for the perfect job or how to put themselves in the position they always dreamed of.

There are many steps involved in quitting and finding a new job. You must know what you want from your career, be able to track it down, and have the resources to do so.

You will be shown the right mindset to start and succeed in discovering what it is that would make you truly happy in life.
