The world in business as we have known it has completely changed. Jobs are being consolidated or eliminated at such a pace that according to the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) by the year 2005, 50 percent of the worlds population will be out of work if we don't create completely new jobs and careers. We have not seen anything like this since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

The Creative Revolution is a "unique", concise practical guide in creating successful work in this new environment for yourself, your team and your company, based on your personal brilliance and dreams. This book gives an unusual, fun, simple and effective step-by-step approach into what the new business world is today, where we came from, and where we each need to go to be successful. This book is written for every person whether they are students, in business for themselves, a president, CEO, in middle management, clerk, or someone in maintenance in any organization, large or small.

There are a great many books that are published about work and careers. However this book addresses the dramatic change the business world is going through and what each of us needs to do to understand and fit-in to these changes. This is not like other books that talk around the issues. This book gets to the point. It is written for everyone of any age for exploring how they can use his (or her) natural talents and dreams to be successful. It is based on experience, not theory.

This brilliance equals our combined unique talents and abilities. When we realize our own brilliance and the brilliance of those around us we will all move mountains. These are the absolute truths in life and the foundation upon which Career Dreams Incorporated and this book are based. Our talents are our own "personal product" and when they are used with clear understanding for ourselves and for the others on our team, they will create tremendous satisfaction, a sense of fulfillment and high productivity for the entire organization.

Relating to our talents as our "Personal Product" and ourselves as our own "Personal Company," and members of our team as our "Customers," and then identifying our own vision and mission gives each of us a new way of thinking that prepares us for the radical changes taking place today.

The "Industrial Era" is over. We have entered the "Creative Revolution." This book is a major step in creating a new paradigm for business where people will dream and find or create their jobs and careers based on their natural talents, using their skills and experience only as support to those talents.

This is a "self-help" book that will show each person how to rediscover, within themselves, their natural talents; what they most enjoy doing, their creativity, how they communicate most effectively, and how to discover their dreams in their current jobs or create new paths. Additionally, readers will systematically discover how to empower themselves, take action and take personal responsibility for their own future.

The lessons in this book are based on self discovery. When you personally discover something about yourself, you own it much more powerfully than if someone else gives you the answer. In other words, we are all our own guru, as the very word so aptly says when spelled out; G U R U. Gee-you-are-you. "You know your self better than anyone else on earth."

The Creative Revolution offers this guidance in an extremely positive, entertaining, simple, and engaging manner. Imagine how incredible our world would be if we all found the very thing that is important in our careers that allowed us to fully express our natural talents. We would all be happier, more fulfilled and far more productive. Sound like pie in the sky? It's not! It's simply the natural next step in today's world of business.
