“Career Renegade is a game changer…hell, it’s a life changer!”
-Karen Salmansohn, Bestselling author of Be Happy, Dammit
_________________________________________
About a dozen years ago, I left my job as a mega-firm lawyer to rebuild my living around what I loved to do and the people I loved to be around. Since then, I’ve become a dad, husband, serial health & fitness industry entrepreneur, author, blogger, copywriter, marketer and even yoga-teacher.
After years of being asked how I’ve done what I’ve done, I decided to pour everything in my head into a book, Career Renegade: How To Make A Great Living Doing What You Love. Then, I started interviewing a bunch of other career renegades and what emerged surprised even me.
This book grew into a veritable manual, packed with hundreds of killer resources, strategies, case-studies and links that will allow you to take almost any passion and turn it into a source of serious income. Even if everyone else says it’s impossible. Even in the midst of what’s going on in this economy. Because, now more than ever, it’s time to reclaim control over your livelihood…and your life!
People Are Raving…
“Through his own compelling story and piles of great advice, Jonathan Fields shows how you can pay the bills by pursuing your passion. If you’re tired of following the herd, and yearn to go your own way, you need to read this wise, inspiring book. Now.” -Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of A Whole New Mind and The Adventures Of Johnny Bunko
“Love what you do and make money” - USA Today
“Career Renegade hits the biggest obstacles people who feel trapped in their jobs face head-on…fear of not earning enough money, deciding what to do next and knowing how to do it. Jonathan Fields’ advice is pithy, current and amusing. I’m impressed with the depth and breadth of this career book!” —Julie Jansen, author of You Want Me to Work with Who? and I Don’t Know What I Want, But I Know It’s Not This

“It’s like he has the secret sauce on how I think about platforms and how the web changes trust. His chapter on authority could also be worth the price of the book alone. Career Renegade does something that lots of books about job finding does not: it takes into account today’s web and how the world has shifted. I’m not sure I can say much more about it, if you’re not already sold. - Chris Brogan, Top 100 blogger & author of Trust Agents
“Damn, I wish I had this book when I became a career renegade in 2002. I left a cushy career as VP marketing for several corporations to do what I love. Had I been able to learn from Jonathan Fields, I would have made the decision more quickly and lived the dream earlier. Don’t wait. Buy Career Renegade today and start building a life around your passions. — David Meerman Scott, bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR

It’s about taking charge of your career and refusing to dance to anyone else’s music. It is, in short, powerful stuff, and comes highly recommended” - Lifehack.org

Do you even just want to be able to survive but still do something that you love? If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions then Career Renegade is for you.” -Glen Allsopp, PluginID.com
