Chris Fontanella's book, "Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads" is such a great read for anyone entering in the later stages of their career and considering retirement. The fact of the matter is, we as humans are really never ready to "retire".  Inactivity is the real killer of us all.  And Chris Fontanella explains to us that the reality is that we need work to fulfill us.  It is so important to our lives to continue to be productive even in the last half, third or quarter of our working career. Overhaul Your Career, is a complete guide on how to go into your next career after  your main career is over, or you no longer align with it.  As Chris explains, "YOU ARE IN CONTROL"!  You make the choices.  But changing a career, later in life, will take guts and a rebel spirit.  And you need to be a "rebel with a cause" and that cause is your next career. He also, makes it plain to his reader that you must maintain your individuality and at the same time rediscover who you really are.  You may be thinking, "but I know who I am", but the question is who is the real you?  It is so easy for us to be in a career and lose ourselves and no longer remember the person we truly are. Whether you need to "reprise" yourself, "reinvent" yourself or do something completely different and become the next Colonel Harland Sanders, everything for your next career and how to get there is right here in this book, Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads.  Get your copy by clicking right here!
