The New Year somehow brings out the desire, always present but usually at a hum rather than a buzz, to make changes in your life. It’s a fresh start, a time of renewal and optimism and determination.
I’ve written a guide to help you make those changes.
Actually, it can be done anytime, whether in January or June — just pick one of the 52 changes in the book, and start on the plan.
One change a week. The 52 changes I recommend. A plan for each.
The inspiration for the book came from a desire to help people learn to make profound changes through doing, and to show the world how life changing habits can be made in small steps.
The price of the ebook is $10, or free if you enroll in the Sea Change program. If you’d like to purchase a copy of the ebook, simply click the Add to Cart button below. If you’re in the Sea Change program there’s a download link in the members area.
