“As an entrepreneur, I am always looking for ways to create a more meaningful life while running a business. I’ve often felt that my travel schedule and business were keeping me from having enough time to accomplish the things I love. I recently was married, so this book is even more important to me now. With Repotting as my guide I can now repot my life and my business to make it all work easier.” -Reader from Washington State |

“This book is written for every women whether you are in your 20’s or 50’s. It is important to not let life pass you by. You must take control of your dreams and desires. The book and workbooks are a must have. It can be scary and unsettling to change the path you have been going down for a while, but this book guides you to living life to the fullest!” -Reader from St. Louis, MO |

“Repotting thinks of everything one must consider to make a change in life. Its simple, direct approach is so thorough, you don’t have an excuse for omitting a crucial element when evaluating whether a major (vocational, job, etc) change is in your future or not. I only wish it was written a long time ago when I faced some adjustments in my life; my decisions would have been a lot less haphazard and much more realistic. Lucky women today can rely on Repotting’s10 steps and catapult themselves into the life they want to live. As a matter of fact, I believe its use goes beyond gender, so anyone (male, female, young, aging) would benefit from its program.” -Reader from Upstate NY |

“Step by step, this wonderfully easy read takes you by the hand through the steps required for a successful change of course in life.

“What a wonderful book–perfect for women (or men, for that matter–I passed it on to my husband!!) in any stage of their lives. I loved the gardening analogy–it really clicked with me. The exercises were so easy to do, and so eye-opening! I particularly appreciated the “values orbit”–genius! What a simple idea for such an important thing for all of us to do–prioritize our lives. Once I looked at what was most important in my values orbit, I was really able to focus on that and “weed out” some other parts of my life that were taking my time away from my REAL priorities. This really is a terrific book–well-written, easy to follow, simple but vital to any busy person’s life. And the authors are so accomplished and have such impressive careers, yet seem so approachable and make reading this book and following its steps a real pleasure.""What a wonderful book–perfect for women (or men, for that matter–I passed it on to my husband!!) in any stage of their lives.

“Repotting: 10 Steps for Redesigning Your Life is for the modern woman who seeks a better life or feels ’stuck’ in an existing one, overwhelmed by destructive or repetitive cycles. The authors are entrepreneurs and lifestyle-trend experts who speak nationally on the question “how do I change my life?” Their book isn’t another lecture: it’s actually an interactive program of specific exercises which allow readers to tailor their own program for change, offering up tests to determine a readiness to change, chapters to help identify new goals, and keys to developing strategy. It’s not just for ‘new age’ collections: any library strong in personal development books will want this user-friendly approach.” -Reader from Oregon, WI |
