ABOUT THE BOOK
A Year in the Life of a Recovering Spendaholic.
For the past twenty-five years, Leadership has been the focus of my business; Leadership by behavior, not position. I have always had, and still do, the desire to improve things, especially inspiring others to be their best selves. I want the world to work for all of us, not just the wealthy and well connected. Most likely my passion for this comes from my own childhood, a childhood which was too often filled with chaos and deprivation. But amid that, there were people who loved me and showed me how to make a better life for myself. The Bible verse, “To whom much is given, much will be required,” and the common phrase, “Pay it Forward,” both reflect what I want my life to be. I realized early in my career that Gandhi’s quote, “You must be the Change You Wish to See in the World” is how major cultural change occurs. Although I “knew” that, I didn’t always live it. My year of no spending was my commitment to change something in me that I believed would help me to be my best self. I was very clear that although others might be inspired by my commitment and my book “journaling the journey,” that this change was predominately for me.
