Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love
There’s nothing to this book. Nothing to really explain how to be successful in finding a way to make a living doing what you love. There are just stories about people who somehow find success with blogs and websites in a short amount of time.
It always pains me when an author uses slang. There is a bit of it in this book.

As a former career coach myself… and if I might add, quite a creative one at that!— I immediately appreciated, starting with the critical message of its subtitle, this book. In fact, in conjunction with my own current book, The Expert’s Edge: Become the Go-To Authority People Turn to Every Time, I dare say that by reading both this book and mine, any reader could take the business world, his/her career and the world itself by storm! “What do you want?” or how Fields phrases it, “What’s your secret passion?” are indubitably the most important career questions of them all. So don’t miss out on answering them by passing this book by. “Career Renegade” is not merely a career how-to book.. it’s a career opportunity!

This book will launch your new career in the right direction! Combine it with my own book “The Expert’s Edge” and you’ll not only become a great expert at something you love doing but you’ll also leap ahead of all your competitors and get VERY good, VERY rich, VERY happy… VERY fast!

Are you a young person looking to make your mark in life? Or, perhaps, are you a Baby Boomer looking to redefine your life as an entrepreneur? Are you wondering how to live a life of fulfillment and joy, a life with a proper work life balance?
So many people begin their life wanting to make a difference and find themselves side tracked along the way. They begin by asking what they want to be when they grow up. And then they discover that they are grown up and they still don’t know what they want to be.
Jonathan Fields saw that happening in his own life and in the lives of so many people around him. He saw people running faster, working harder, climbing higher, sweating more blood, and pushing through stifling fatigue. Most importantly, he saw that usually they were no freer or happier.
He saw people trapped in their fear that if they tried to do anything about it they would become poor or a failure…or even worse, perhaps both.
He decided to find the solution to the riddle of actually doing what you love for a living without leaving your life behind. Not only did he succeed, he discovered that part of what he loves is sharing the solution with others. Jonathan wants to share it with you in Career Renegade.
He describes his intent as wanting to deliver something that is not only fun and inspirational, but insanely useful. Once again, with the clarity brought by intense focus, Jonathan has another success.
Discipline is required for success in every pursuit. Part of that discipline is acquiring the fundamental information, as he calls it, that is required to participate in any activity. He will give you a lot of information and will point you to other sources to help you learn the fundamentals: the rules of the game, the knowledge of systems, wisdom, cheats, hacks, and secrets you need to know.
In Career Renegade, Jonathan moves what information marketers call “the free line”. He will give you for free what could cost you hundreds of dollars to learn in other courses. In addition to sharing with you for free his take on ropes to know, he points you to other useful free resources available on the Internet that you might not find easily by yourself.
One of the things you will enjoy is that Jonathan provides complete information. Unlike what so often happens, he won’t just tell you what to do, leaving you in the dark about why or how. He will even talk about how to explain what you are doing to your friends and family so they won’t think you have gone crazy.
So if you want to understand work life balance, if you want to pay the bills while pursuing your passion, whether you are a prospective young entrepreneur or one of the fast growing segment of the population composed of Baby Boomer entrepreneurs, talk with Jonathan Fields. Career Renegade is a good place to begin that conversation.

After reading all the great reviews here, I purchased Career Renegade. It was a waste of my money. Career Renegade is a lot of fluff. The book is short on details about how to change your life and long on the the author Jonathan Field’s ego. The author is not down to earth. I could not relate his life stories. I have read Po Bronson’s “What Should I Do with My Life?” and Tim Ferriss’s “4-Hour Workweek” which I enjoyed and learned many things from. I was very disappointed in Career Renegade.
