2 min readMar 11, 2024

Are you pursuing the esteemed job title?

Do you want the extra responsibilities, stresses, and workload associated with the position?

or

Do you want the glamour and prestige you’re projecting onto the title?

When you chase only glamour and prestige, you’re blind to the realities of what achieving your goal will entail.

When those realities become real, the glamour and prestige fade, and you experience disappointment and feel stuck.

Instead, understand, to the best of your ability, what’s involved in both pursuing and achieving your goal.

Don’t come to a solution with only half the equation.

My memoir, “Blank Canvas, How I Reinvented My Life After Prison” is available on Amazon.

“Blank Canvas” is for anyone trapped in prison cells of unworthiness, inadequacy, shame, regret, and fear who want to free themselves so they can reinvent their lives with courage, purpose, meaning, freedom, and peace.

James Altucher, best-selling author of Skip the Line, Choose Yourself and Reinvent Yourself had this to say about “Blank Canvas.”

“Craig has lived a story NOBODY would ever want to live. I was riveted to each page because I kept asking myself, “How would I handle this?” and I didn’t know the answers. Craig takes us into hell, and then we ride with him on the journey back. Great story, great writing, great human being.”

I’m a Reinvention Architect & Mindset Coach. I work 1:1 with my clients to unleash their full potential and connect with their life’s calling so they can live the lives they’ve always imagined.
