Great and short listen for clarity.

If you are feeling uncertain, lost and unclear of the next steps.
An awesome book and great timing with what I am going through right now.
Helpful to know that I don't need to take every idea that comes to me and run with it.

So resonated with me & I know it will with you too!

I absolutely loved this book. I downloaded a copy for myself as well as one for my granddaughter who is graduating this year.
It is a book that encourages you to follow your path, at your pace & with no regrets.

UNLEASHED!!!

Victoria Labalme, has really removed the straight jacket with her book: RISK FORWARD!!! I am so glad that she shares the gifts which this book has to share in her own voice. Though it is a short listen/read, I found myself pausing, taking notes, and at times just staring off into space because my creative juices had been set free, and they flowed. Even paused the book at one point because a song was set free in me and I wrote that song!!! Thank you Victoria!!! I look forward to meeting you in your awesome community, and I am going to start this over for my second listen/read through!!! Much Love❤️

Overly simplistic

Of course this is my own opinion, but I cannot recommend this book. There was just nothing of substance here for me and I found it to be a disappointing listen.

Good friends are recommending this and so am I

YouTube's "Anxiety Doctor,” my friend, Dr. Pam Garcy, told me enthusiastically a few days ago about a great new book. The course leader who recommended it to her, Susan Peirce Thompson, said she was already practicing ideas from it with good results.

A few days prior, television producer Robin Creaseman told me enthusiastically about a great new book written by a colleague of ours.

What are the chances that both people would be enthusiastically recommending the same new book? Slim to none? Nope, the opposite.

Despite their enthusiasm, I knew that my self-esteem couldn't handle another book of “proven formulas” for goal-setting, focus, and success. Those formulas don't work for creatives like me who prefer to zag when others zig.

I wish I enjoyed reading books as much as I enjoy buying them, but the enthusiastic tone in both friends' recommendations inspired me to try listening on Audible instead. What a pleasure!

Now I’ve also got it on Kindle, and I’m buying hard copies for friends.

Victoria LaBalme's Risk Forward has no formulas. It breaks the mold and advises you to break your own moldy old molds of how things are "supposed" to work.

This book sets you free from steps you couldn't follow anyway and helps you practice trusting your unique inner guidance instead.

I've already listened to it twice, because it helps me see that my true path will never follow the ruts of anyone else's.

Be you and it's ok!

I've read many books that tell me what I should do to be this and that.

There's books that will tell me what and why I'm doing what I do and what I should do with that. And then I can be xyz...

This book tells me who I am is ok and the trust that you have in yourself while in the unknown is ok too.

This book reaffirmed that who I am and how I got here isn't because of any book I've read. It's because I trusted my gut and I've forgotten that. Thanks for reminding me!

Just what I needed to hear today

A powerful message and well-timed for exactly what I needed to hear today. Encouragement to keep on your true path and to know what’s truly important to you. A must listen!

Good & Quick

Wow, I remember her part in Sex & the City, loved it!! I recently started rewatching the show too, the irony... this book was a good listen tho. The author dropped a few gems while really painting a picture.
