Tess Vigeland had a fantastic job. She was a part of a team at the radio station that produced the show — Marketplace Money — where they answered questions from the audience about money. She had a successful career in the field she loved, and fans would recognize her by her voice anywhere. When Vigeland decided to leave, she couldn't explain why and how but had a feeling she needed changes.
Tess Vigeland gave a speech about leaping in Portland and inspired dozens of people to make a step and quit their jobs without a plan B. She didn't give them detailed step-by-step instructions or a promise for a better life. Instead, Vigeland shared her doubts and insecurities with the audience, and the magic happened. It finally helped her to accept her story as it was.

Once you are out of the situation you were bothered by, you start doubting your decision to leave. That is how your brain works; don't trust this thought.
You will face many challenges on the way. Close friends and family members may not know what to say when you voice the decision to leave stability for uncertainty. Also, it can be freaking scary to tell your boss that you are quitting. The process of adjusting to a new life may not be smooth. Reading sections about different aspects of a leap, you may find helpful information that helps to prepare beforehand.
This summary is about reevaluating what you're doing, what you love about it, and what you don't. It is also a narrative of the likely fears accompanying “jumping without a net” — migrating between jobs and careers. To acquire the boldness to take those seemingly daunting steps, kindly peruse this piece till the very end.
Leaping is difficult in the world when everyone is expected to have at least a five-year plan. So, take a breath and dive into a page-turner from a woman that had enough courage to make this step and find herself in a better place.

It is never too late to find what you want to do when you ‘grow up’
How do you know it's time to quit? Nobody knows that except for you. However, if this question comes to your mind, you should look around for opportunities. Sometimes your body starts giving hints — hair loss, back pain, or tiredness without reason. These symptoms don't necessarily mean you must leave your current job but don't ignore the signals.

Everything you need to be motivate, to learn & to self improves is all here. I actually do appreciate the reminders because otherwise this wouldn’t work for me. Thank you
Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.
An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned
In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.
The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!
I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
The best app for self development.It helps to keep pace with your reading and also suggests the kind of reading material you might like.It is fun as you can switch from reading to listening and vice-versa as per your convenience .Just get started and partake of the treasure of knowledge at your fingertips .I feel lucky to have spotted the app.It has helped me become self-disciplined and much better informed.The audio track is excellent.
Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
This is outstanding best app ever and honestly whoever came up with is my app is an absolute genius kudos my gratitude definitely goes out and I’m only on my first week free trial and I’m certainly going to purchase this app annually. Now that I have it, I can’t even imagine living without it.
