DETOX YOUR CIRCLE
After doing over 15 years hard time in a cubicle or office, you and your laptop have found Nirvana at the Starbucks around the corner. Mercifully, the career is over, the kids are gone. But now there is nothing left to distract you from the elephant in the room.
You stare at your significant other with the most disconcerting doubts about whether the relationship has run its natural course. You own up to your part in friendships that have become more like placeholders. Years of meaningless, if tenuous connection have left you hollow.
Detox Your circle is an inaugural foray into the non-fiction, self-improvement genre focused on using tools – created in the workplace – to solve problems in your everyday public and private endeavors. The book will appeal to thoughtful readers who enjoy prescriptive nonfiction in the style of Daniel H. Pink. (When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing), Seth Godin (Linchpin), and Michael Hyatt (Your Best Year Ever) who seek practical tools for simplifying a life that has become cumbersome and complex; an existence that is now full of baggage and meaningless rituals that distract from what really matters.
The author introduces the 13 toxic elements to help individuals ‘cleanse’ themselves of people and self-sabotaging behaviors that can deter them from the path of purpose and destiny. This prescription for declutter brings about a very powerful clarity that magically summons the people, activities, and passions that belong in our lives. When we detox our Rolodex, our true nature and essence attract more of who we are. This is called resonance and it is required to fulfill destiny.

Here is a quick peek AT THE CONTENTS
DETOX YOUR CIRCLE establishes the premise for removing 13 toxic elements — people, self-sabotaging behaviors, baggage, and meaningless rituals, to name a few — and demonstrates how decluttering can trigger a very powerful clarity and resonance. Magically, you’ll summon the right people, activities, and passions that illuminate an enlightened path to purpose and meaning.
I have been where you are. I know the sinking feeling of not being where my soul, spirit, psyche, or Higher Self desires to be. I have sat in front of a green screen as a cubicle dweller, desk jockey, manager, director, and vice president, and in all of these positions I have felt deeply unfulfilled. Why is this? I’ll tell you why. It’s because you are living according to someone else’s expectations, contributing to someone else’s vision, building someone else’s empire without any indication that any of these pursuits align with your own destiny, your own purpose. This is a painful place to be, when your very essence is languishing like a fish out of water, beached on the shores of someone else’s dream.
You may be asking, “Well, what do I do now?”
Let me tell you what I did, based on years of leadership responsibilities and my own personal experience. I am a firm believer in plans and systems. Indeed, I am a bit of a systems nerd.
I will show you how addressing the toxic red flags fits into the bigger picture. To detox your circle, and activate your destiny, you must move from inspiration to manifestation.
Here’s how:
Step 1. Inspiration: Who Am I?
Step 2. Vision: What is the future you want for yourself?
Step 3. Alignment: Who are the people and what are the causes, ideas, and philosophies that line up with that vision?
Step 4. Mission: What is your why?
Step 5. Declutter and Detox: Eliminate from your life what doesn’t align with your vision and mission. (Detox Your Circle)
Step 6. Clarity: Who are you, and what is your purpose and destiny?
Step 7. Resonance: As you move toward your destiny, your destiny moves toward you.
Step 8. Activation: You are electromagnetically attracting the future you envisioned.
Step 9. Gestation: The seeds you have planted are nourished and incubated until the time is ripe for their realization.
Step 10. Travail: Pain comes before rebirth.
Step 11. Manifestation: Your vision comes alive.
