New book by best selling author Robert Michael Fried explores self worth and true success. The book, "Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion," is a publication of Thirdwind.com, an interactive community dedicated to empowering people to achieve "true" success by realizing both their professional goals and personal dreams.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 02, 2012

"Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion: A Businesslike Guide to Fulfill Your Professional Goals and Personal Dreams," is winning critical and reader acclaim. It was an Amazon best seller at launch and digital editions are available on Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony Ready and iTunes. It will be available at major booksellers in the spring.

Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion is a compelling read and a profound road map to making meaning and money, says Jennifer Wise, Chief Editor for Vfirefly.com an online global women's network. The exercises in the book are designed to help one build self worth.

Too many personal growth attempts start by identifying and trying to "fix" weaknesses, says Fried. He helps reader focus on finding and building from strengths. He also shares lessons from his "own personal school of hard knocks."

"Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion" expands on many of the self help book points readers found helpful in Fried's 2005 book, "A Marketing Plan for Life: 12 Essential Business Principles to Create Meaning, Happiness, and True Success."

Mindful of readers whose experience may tilt toward business success or motivational self help, Fried frames his ideas for both worlds. Each chapter title defines both personal and professional insight. For instance, Assess the Market (professional or business insight) is subtitled Capitalizing on Your Own Strengths (personal). Others chapter titles include Weather the Product Cycles, or Reinventing Yourself at Every Stage; and Plan Your Distribution, subtitled Investing Your Time and Energy Wisely. Twenty pages of personal exercises add to the book's value as affordable, DIY professional coaching.

For people who have been unemployed, "Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion" can be an excellent guide and mentor, particularly now that business indicators show this is a great time to gear up and pursue a dream job. "Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion" will also support one in the inevitable experience of dealing with stress as well as the many decisions presented by a job search. Fried has also launched a new online community to help readers connect and support one another.

Robert Michael Fried is a respected keynote speaker. His speech credits include Wells Fargo Advisors, Canyon Ranch Life Enhancement Center, Clint Eastwood's Tehama Resort, Naval Post Graduate School, the Signature Eyewear Sales Group in Italy and graduate business schools at NYU, UCLA and USC.

Videos showing Fried discussing some of his key ideas are available at thirdwind.com.

Vern Joseph loves gospel music and always had a dream to elevate the status of Gospel Artistes in general and to create an environment for their career advancement and personal development. As Managing Director of Dominion Security Services Limited this Golden Lane- born entrepreneur took the step of faith and launched Dominion Promotions two years ago. Its Vision is to provide an all-embracing ministry for cultural and diverse groups including youths, musicians, artistes and churches. Their first venture was a 2011 Concert featuring international Gospel Minister and Singer Pastor Donnie Mc Clurkin. They did not want the event to clash with the ever-popular annual SONFEST open-air gospel concert which is normally held from Good Friday to Easter Monday, so it was held on Holy Thursday. The experience was awesome and beyond expectations even though the crowd was not what the organizers had hoped. To promote an event of this magnitude successfully on an island with a population of less than 60,000 persons is risky and financially challenging, but this Joseph is not a dreamer or a gambler. He indicated that: sponsorship is not easy for the Christian community. Businesses are not attracted to support events like these which project a different lifestyle from the national pre-lenten activities; this would be an alcohol-free zone. This year the company is bringing to our shores for In His Presence -2 the four- time Grammy Award Singer for Best Pop/ Contemporary Gospel Album and Worship Leader-Israel Houghton and his Band-New Breed from USA. Israel is widely known for popular worship songs such as here am I to worship, Alpha & Omega, etc. Joseph expects a crowd of close to three thousand souls to gravitate to the Dwight Yorke Stadium on Saturday March 03 to experience an evening of great worship and blessings. He already has a strong following from Trinidad as Israel would be performing only in Tobago and the expectation is that this exposure to the best international talents would raise the level of music and worship in our churches. His Marketing Team already has Ads on Radio, Posters, Flyers and messages on the social network Facebook. He assures that patrons will be well taken care of by the trained Ushers whether they are in the general area or are VIP or VVIP ticket holders. The future looks really bright for Dominion Promotions as they embark on this life-transforming area of ministry
