Success Journey Publishing Announces New Guide For Students
Life Skills 101 is what "Graduate And Grow Rich" is all about. Author Dave Bedard builds a bridge between academia and the Real World as students prepare to launch their careers.
Oxford, Massachusetts-March 29, 2008--With nearly three million students headed for graduation and a recession looming, the Class of 2008 needs every advantage it can get to become the leaders of tomorrow in our fast-paced, 21st century e-world.
Dave Bedard is a successful entrepreneur who has gone back to school. After over twenty years building a stable of successful ventures, he now devotes much of his time giving back to students the life lessons he has learned. As an active board member at Worcester State College (Worcester, MA) and the Junior Achievement board, he has seen first hand what students lack even after all the time and money has been spent.
“It was my work on campus that made me realize that today's students fear what's next. They have all this education to prepare them, yet they are uncertain of their ability to go out and make their way in the world.”
In this book, Bedard offers Twelve 'Lessons' to assist them in honing the skills required to "make it in the work world." Through lessons that include Leadership, Communication Skills, as well as Entrepreneurship and Overcoming Obstacles, the reader is served up a mix of memorable stories, profiles of successful people and sage advice to make their transition smoother.
In his chapter on Branding, the author offers a significant value in helping students properly position themselves for greater success.
Bedard offers: “If we can build a bridge of belief...a glimpse of what the world is looking for from them, then perhaps, they will believe in themselves enough to go out with a healthy self-esteem and make the world a better place.”
“Recession or no recession, these students represent our best and brightest. Although they are but twenty percent of the population, they are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF OUR FUTURE. We need to help them put their best foot forward and continue to put one in front of the other until they are living their dreams. This still is the Land of Opportunity.”
Filled with real-life stories and encouraging words of wisdom, this Guide is destined to become a graduation gift classic and constant companion for those looking to become the architects of their own rich, fulfilling journey.
