Wondering what to do with your life? Trying to figure out how and when to build passion into your work? You've found the right place. My forthcoming book is about just that. The book isn’t telling you to follow your passion. And it’s not telling you to find what you’re good at. Those answers are too simplistic. The answer is both … and more. The self assessment tool below will take 5 minutes and get you started with real action steps.

"Every student should hear your talk. This is exactly what is on their minds." Sean McGuire, Chairman, Accounting Department, Texas A&M University
"My business students are elite, but an hour with George ... and I could hear their ceilings crack." Ken McFarland, Professor of Business Strategy, Texas A&M University
The book (launching Oct 2024) is a toolkit for intentionally choosing the relationship between your passion and your career. It begins with the Japanese framework called Ikigai which holds that your reason for being sits at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for. It is powerful … but not enough.
"Don’t Settle" walks readers through a set of exercises which enables each reader to plot themselves on a 4x3 matrix. Each of the 9 cells in the matrix calls for 1 or 2 of the Meta Paths.
Meta Paths are: Independent, Money, Passion, Experiment, and Balanced.
The real power is in the choosing. If YOU choose your path, you are far more likely to be joyful, productive, and content.
There is no right path for everyone. There IS a right path for you.
Each of the 5 Meta Paths (Independent, Money, Passion, Experiment, and Balanced) has a strong showing in our database of hundreds of people who have taken the self assessment.
To get started, try the 5 minute assessment tool below. There is no cost.
