Escaping the Drift: How to Make the World Happen For You, Not To You
By: John Gafford
Jumpstart your career and fuel your life’s journey with a proven framework to stop drifting, chart your own path, and pursue meaningful work that leads to extraordinary success.
Escaping the Drift by Apprentice contestant, top-ranked podcast host and real estate entrepreneur John Gafford gives strategies for living life deliberately, with intention, instead of just getting by. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a professional seeking a career breakthrough, or anyone who wants to tap into their untapped potential, Gafford speaks directly to those who feel like they’re merely drifting through life, searching for purpose and a higher calling.
Do you have a decent gig, but no plan for tomorrow? Can you pay your bills each month, but every hour seems pointless? Are you just going through the motions of life? If so, then you are caught in “The Drift.” To set a new course for yourself, Gafford’s highly anticipated debut book teaches you how to:
Game the System and Read the Unwritten Rules: Figuring out the how, when, where, and why of unwritten rules to keep your Drifting to a minimum.
Work the Angles…But in a Nice Way: As your conversations change to focus on more positive ideas and concepts, watch your life change for the better.
Manage Risk: Since you can never control everything, make certain that you’re at least 51% of the equation.
As Gafford explains, nothing in life is more dangerous than existing without direction. Escaping the Drift reveals the mindset shifts, daily habits, and actionable techniques that propelled him and many other top performers to new heights. Learn how they harnessed their passions, overcame obstacles, and capitalized on opportunities.
