From the Publisher
In this inspiring business parable, John, an over-worked and over-traveled professional, and his wife Shelly struggle with the issues of being too busy with work, with no quality time left for them to discuss and plan their personal and family goals. After a huge fight with his wife and a stormy departure for his latest trip, car trouble forces John to spend the night in an isolated small town called Gumption. In a memorable evening chatting with some of the town's residents, he gains new hope and discovers a process for creating change to balance his work and personal life priorities.

The Road To Gumption: Using Your Inner Courage to Balance Your Work and Personal Life will help you bring focus to achieving that balance between your work and family life. The author refers to personal time as "LOAF" time, for "loved ones and family." In the book, you will be introduced to The 5 P's of Change(tm) and eleven Rules of Gumption(tm) that serve as a roadmap towards creating change.
