Concrete Producer, The, Nov, 2003

George Hedley has done it again. The well-known speaker, columnist, and construction company owner has brought us his insights in a new book, "On-Purpose ... On-Target! How to Balance Your Business and Life to Get Everything You Want!" Hedley challenges you to look beyond your hectic daily schedule and get to the heart of what is really important at work and home.

On-Purpose ... On-Target! shows how to figure out what you want, how to plan for it, and then how to progress toward your goals. Successful people, Hedley points out, are organized, in control of their lives, and have a system.

Hedley offers several kernels of advice. Live your life and work based on your priorities, not others'. Don't let your business control you. Go "boldly where no one has gone before" not where everyone else goes--working too much, stressed our, and not having any fun.

Hedley also asks you to look at what your purpose is. A goal is what you do. Your purpose is who you are, where you are headed, and why. To figure this out, you must analyze your life, business, and career by asking yourself why? Or why not?

To organize your life and business, read On Purpose ... On-Target! Reaching business and financial success, a happy personal life, and reduced stress is possible for everyone. Just try Hedley's simple instructions for Life and business and you will be pleasantly surprised.
