Achieving Balance While Chasing the American Dream; Leslie Groene Presents an Inspirational Guide to Getting What You Want in Life Both Personally and Professionally.

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- For today's competitive business professional, the challenge of maintaining the delicate balance between work and career ambition, family life and other interests is becoming an increasingly difficult task. As business becomes more and more fast-paced and cut-throat, the American dream becomes more complex and often seemingly out of reach. Author Leslie Groene aims to re-acquaint today's overwhelmed worker with perspective and passion -- providing a practical and inspirational guide to getting what you want in life with her new book, "Picture Yourself & The Life You Want."

"While it's easy to 'Picture Yourself & The Life You Want' -- a hefty bank balance, an impressive car, a lavish home, active social schedule, and a happy, healthy family, etc. -- the difficult part is actually getting there," said Groene. "The purpose of this book is to show readers that with strategy, hard work, and planning, any dream is attainable. 'Picture Yourself & The Life You Want' provides the framework and foundation to build upon a step-by-step plan for getting there."

"Picture Yourself & The Life You Want" presents real-world advice and strategies for building the life you desire. Groene believes that day-to-day choices ultimately determine whether you succeed and accomplish your objectives, or continue to run around in circles with unattainable goals that are perpetually just beyond your grasp. She shares proven, on-the-job lessons gleaned over the course of her impressive career -- including experience as a highly successful sales rep and manager, and years as a business coach, motivational speaker and consultant.
