Beautifully written, inspiring story ~ Review by Nicole

Wow! This man went through so much. It is often difficult to read about someone who had it so rough and think "Wow, I complain about what I have or don't have?!" Watching the author go through so many struggles in order to achieve high levels of success are highly inspiring. It is definitely a "Well if he can do it through all that, then I can to" kind of read. You will leave the book feeling motivated to succeed having watched some one else break through many hardships in order to get where they needed to go. Great read!

Book Description:

From Living On The Streets of Medellin, Colombia To Becoming A Successful Entrepreneur in New York

Today, nearing forty, Eder is a successful New York entrepreneur in the online media industry and CEO of a digital marketing company. However, as a kid in the mid ’80s, he fled a frightening home life and wound up living for years on the streets of Medellin, Colombia. It was a dicey existence, in what was described during this era as the 'most dangerous place on earth'. where international drug lords like Pablo Escobar ruled, where you could be shot for looking at the wrong guy the wrong way.

Dreaming of Hope Street is the story of how he went from living in the streets to become a successful entrepreneur. The book is in the classic Coming-of-Age tradition, and proves that, though life can be ugly and brutal, even the most disadvantaged can overcome the odds and find happiness, their own Hope Street. The narrative steps along and rings with authenticity; it’s often sad, shocking, but ultimately uplifting and motivational.

27 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in the Workplace...

How do you know when you want to buy a book? Allow me to share my journey with Reboot Your Career. While watching the book trailer, I noticed an endorsement from one of my favourite authors - Brian Tracy,  author of Maximum Achievement.

This great book shows you a step-by-step program to make yourself more valuable, get paid more and promoted faster than any other job.

I heard a "ding" go off in my head. Strike One! Then my instincts told me to click on the video to take me to Peter Fogel's YouTube Channel.  I discovered he is a comedian and actor having been in or worked on such shows as  HBO’s Comedy Central, Caroline's Comedy Hour,  Comic Strip Live, and Married With Children. Strike Two!


Next, I decided I wanted to peek inside the book so I went to Amazon. I found out that I do indeed want to be a Superstar (and that is what my avatar says on my computer so it must be true) Also, this book is for bosses and I may need some other Superstars working for me soon.

Excerpt ~ Chapter One:Your Happiness is Your Job

"I am not the boss of my house, I don't know when I lost it. I don't know if I ever had it. But I have seen the boss's job and I do not want it." ~ Bill Cosby

Tell me if this is happening to you. You've been working in your job for a few years now. Like any relationship, in the beginning it was great. Your work was challenging and exciting.

You liked the people you worked with. Life was good. You felt fulfilled! (A la a preacher)

"Can you give me a hallelujah?"

Then, as I mentioned earlier, you started feeling like something was missing. Your job became mind-numbingly boring, and your coworkers constantly got on your nerves.

You started thinking to yourself, "I don't want to be a widget remover (or insert the name of your job description) for the rest of my life."

Perhaps you even started to wonder if you made the right decision by coming to this company.

You know what? That's okay. You see, our situations change, and the reasons we wanted something might not be as strong in hindsight as they were in the beginning. 

Thankfully, there's something you can do about it.

Now, what I'm about to say just may get under your skin a little bit. I'm sorry, but it's necessary if we are to move forward.

It may sound crazy, but it's true. If our work helps define us - then happiness is your job. What an epiphany, huh? We can now release the balloons and fireworks!

Strike Three! Now you may be thinking I lost the game because the author won me over. Quite the contrary. It is a win-win. I hopped on back over to rebootyourcareernow.com because I could get $200.00 worth of bonuses and an autographed copy. 

Note: There is an additional $4.00 shipping charge to Canada. $8.00 for International Orders.

From Living On The Street To Becoming A Successful Entrepreneur

"I was once a homeless kid in Medellin and understand what needs to be done to make a positive, permanent difference in young lives." ~ Eder Holguin

Allow me to introduce an inspirational book. I am on Chapter four and I must say that this is a riveting book. It moves fast and keeps you in its grasp. Personally, I think this would be a great book for young adults to delve into. I have gathered information from the web to give you a taste of what the book is about and a behind the scenes look at the author.

Eder Hoquin states, "My intention when writing this book was to provide you my story as a source of inspiration and to help you realize that you are not a victim of your current circumstances, you have the power to create your own life. The choices you make and the things you do today will determine your future."

Review on Amazon by M. Garvey:

It is hard to describe this book without getting buried in exaggeration. Phrases like; heart-rending, and mind-blowing all would do but this book is so very much more than all of that. It is an intelligent superbly written story. As I have always said " a dream will always be a dream until you make it into reality." Not since greats such as Hemmingway have I read such evocative well structured writing. Every line conjures an image, every page tells a story. Great work.
