In The Restart Roadmap, Jason Tartick helped readers to redefine their life and make a fresh start in their career paths. He shared how he climbed the ladder of success in the financial corporation field and he would move whoever they wanted him to go where he could still get promotion and benefits. He begins the book by sharing his battle with anxiety and he literally felt his heartbeat speed up. He was in a meeting with his senior banker and junior banker with other top clients. He shared how this led to him feeling like he was in a career prison Monday thru Friday. He was following a script and in a rut. His only day of feeling completely free was on Saturday’s and he was free to be himself. Cause on Sunday’s he was battling anxiety of what was coming next. He was living his life in the 14.3% of every week and this equal to 11.3 years. This book’s goal is to assist readers in restarting their lives and getting their career’s back on track on how they want to live their lives. He explored 8 key strategies throughout the book. One of the things, he looked at was the topic of where you should live and exploring the issues, we tend to take into account the money factor.
In the book, he explained how made a spot on the Bachelorette and how he approached his banker’s higher ups with a letter stating how he wanted to take a leave and go on the show. They allowed him to use his time off and go on the show. He also opened up about how we must be very careful with our commitments and being overly loyal and how it can come back to bite us. He explained how if we are a W-2 employee we have no power and it's all up to our employer. He also was very honest with how he was fired from the banker’s field whenever his girlfriend, Kaitlyn made a comment about their sex life on her podcast. It had to be deleted by the network. In the end, his “almost ten years of banking, 7 relocation, and nine nearly perfect performance reviews meant nothing.” He was able to negotiate a fair exit plan.
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is wanting a new start in their career. I immensely was shocked to read about how only 37% of people will ask for a raise. This is mind blowing to me. I really enjoyed the topic of negotiating and knowing what our worth is. I liked how he explored body language, the secrets of the hiring process, and how to stand out and get noticed. All of the topics were beneficial in learning about to restart your life and seeking a new career path if that’s what you are wanting. I’m not a huge fan of the Bachelorette or Bachelor in general so I didn’t know how I would like this book. But I felt the author was very knowledgeable in the field of business and he was trying to help readers to get a fresh start. This discussed some of the TV show but it was mainly focused on assisting readers in restarting their careers.
"I received this book free from the publisher, HarperCollins my honest review.”
