What I love about Life On Your Terms… is that its a compilation of experience from been there done that’s. Notably, I am biased here, since I also contributed to the book. But when I read it, I was taken aback by the many different stories, and the many different definitions of what life on your own terms means. This book is a great “fill the gap read”. I have picked it up and read a single story and then put it down for a week, and then picked it up again when I needed motivation with another story. Solid read with interesting stories. I recommend highly.

Shann Vander Leek combines her knowledge and experiences from her marketing, coaching and entrepreneurial worlds and blends these stories into a beautiful fabric.

A MUST READ for anyone with the “itch” to do more and be more!
This review is from: Life on Your Terms (Paperback)
So many of us are experiencing that “itch” to do more than just punch a clock doing work for “the man”. In Life On Your Terms, Shann provides the inspiration and information you need to move beyond your 9-5 world and in it’s place create work that inspires and fulfills you.
What I love about the book is that it serves up real life stories from men and women in all walks of life who have taken the leap. They share their experience, wisdom and enthusiasm for creating a life and career that uplifts and inspires.
This book is a must have for the seasoned entrepreneur as well as the 9 to 5′er feeling stuck in their day job. The stories are easy to read and provide inspiration that will help you begin living the life you really deserve. I keep my copy on my desk for those times when I need to remind myself why I chose to live Life On My Terms.

A Book with Purpose
Life On Your Terms (by) Shann Vander Leek-is simply a book filled with powerful information. I’ve been living on my own terms for more than 4 decades. From Shann’s book I came away with renewed passion, understanding, and a desire to implement a few new terms.
Do this one really good thing for yourself, purchase the book and read it more than once…in fact, make it a night-stand book.
Good things do come in small packages.

Good tips for staying true to yourself while building a business
By Alice Greene
If you feel like you are going in circles with your business, this book offers insight into how other entrepreneurs found ways to achieve success without sacrificing their values. It isn’t easy to stay in alignment with yourself as you build a business, yet other people are doing it successfully. Shann Vander Leek has beautifully gathered their tips and insights – along with her own – into her latest book, Life on Your Terms. I found the book encouraging and some of the tips priceless.
Real people, real stories
By Tim Brownson
When trying to help people make positive change it’s imperative that you allow them to see what they want really is possible. If I talk to a client about Donald Trump the chances are they’ll immediately elevate him to a level that they think is unachievable for them. Real life examples of people doing what you want to are so much more powerful and that is what Shann delivers and that is why this book is a must read for anybody wanting to live a live on their own terms.
Create your life By Laura Lopez
Wow, this book is so inspirational! Filled with amazing stories of people who stepped off the treadmill to pursue their passion. The book is a must-read for anyone ready to step into their passion and create a life that works for them. All of the contributing entrepreneurs demonstrate how personal leadership has transformed their lives.
By B. Poirier
Life on Your Terms is a valuable guide for anyone interested in transforming their notion of work.
Following your passion, rather than your next paycheck, is a far more fulfilling way to live, and can create change in every area of your life. Shann’s approach is simple: give thoughtful prompts and direction, provide examples of successful, passionate, totally centered entrepreneurs who’ve “been there, done that,” and let the reader spread his or her own wings to fly.
If you’re thinking about leaving the golden handcuffs behind, or if you’re sick of “jumping through flaming circus hoops for a paycheck” (as Shann so aptly describes it), then this book belongs in your toolbox!
