Book Review
Goal-setting is something that every woman entrepreneur needs to do as part of her business building journey, but in author and entrepreneur Payal Kadakia’s new book LifePass, she introduces a whole new approach to not just setting goals but reaching them too.
In her new book, LifePass, Payal Kadakia, the founder of ClassPass, the revolutionary fitness and wellness platform, shares her unique method of goal setting that will help you hone in on your feelings, screen out unnecessary distractions, and live a successful and fulfilling life based on your deepest desires. When Payal let go of the pressure to achieve a traditional kind of success, she tuned in to her calling and built ClassPass into a multi-million pound company. In LifePass, she shares her unique insights as to how she changed her approach to not just business, but also her life.
In LifePass, you will learn how to focus on what's meaningful to you; how to embrace all parts of your identity; how to push past expectations to hear your own voice; how to turn failure into learning opportunities; how to make money work for you, instead of working for it; how to manage your time guilt-free; how to build a supportive tribe of people around you; and importantly, how to set actionable goals aligned to your dream.
Payal’s new book is a blueprint for not just setting goals, but for creating a meaningful and distraction free life that helps you to realize them and live the life you dream of.
