"You've achieved a measure of success in the first half of life, and it's been a thrill. But deep in your heart, you want your second half to count for something far more. Something bigger than you. Significance. You're not alone; you're in "Halftime." You want to discover where your deepest passions intersect with your greatest abilities and harness them to help change the world. But what does significance look like? How do you attain it? What will it cost you? What if you are not yet financially independent? Who can help you make sense out of this stage of life?" "Lloyd Reeb knows how it is. He's wrestled with the same questions and found answers. In From Success to Significance, he unfolds a blueprint that has helped thousands of men and women redefine success and infuse their lives with eternal significance. Adapt Reeb's approach to your circumstances and, with God's help, put it in motion. It works, and it will work for you. Discover God's unique purpose for your life. Your talents, your drives, and everything you are will make sense in a new way and have an impact you've never dreamed of. Go ahead, start dreaming. Because significance is within your reach, and it starts by finding the freedom to dream." "The first part of life has been about accomplishment: building a career, gaining recognition, honing your skills, climbing mountains, and enjoying the rewards. It's been great. Is that all there is? Is there life after success? Something enduring. A cause beyond your personal kingdom that calls forth the best of who and what you are. Welcome to "Halftime" and your journey to significance. Till now, you've been preparing. Now it's time to invest your talents and energy in your true calling. Time to reorient your life toward the thing you were created for, the fire that smolders within you, waiting to ignite." "You don't have to quit your job or sell your company to make it happen. So if you've thought significance is for deeper pockets than yours, think again. It's for you, and this book can help you attain it. From Success to Significance is about defining what you're really about and pursuing it with focus, common sense, and passion. Distilled from Lloyd Reeb's personal life experience and from dozens of true stories, the insights in these pages have helped thousands make the transition to significance while maintaining viable careers. Now it's your turn." "Reeb invites you to take a break to prepare for the second half of life's game. You start by making space to dream- to identify who you are and what possibilities God has placed in and around you. Then you move from dreams to action. You create a "playbook," devise a ten-step Halftime plan, and set the logistics of significant living in motion. Do you long for something richer and more enduring than success alone can offer? Your Halftime has arrived. From Success to Significance will help you make the second half of your life a time when your God-given dreams become powerful, life-giving realities.
