Sharing the hilarious and heartbreaking stories of her own screwups and successes, Liz shows you how to � embrace your Inner Beginner � dream small � choose curiosity over criticism � own your average � and so much more It's within your power to build a life of purpose, passion, and impact. All you need is a little bit of pluck! *** "I met Liz more than a decade ago in Gulu, Uganda. Beginner's Pluck is a thoughtful book about what Liz has been strategically doing in the world, not merely optimistically hoping for. Her authentic voice is one I trust because I've seen what she's done. As you flip these pages, you won't want to be more like Liz. Instead, you'll want to figure out what your next steps are to release your passions, hopes, and love into a world which is in desperate need of someone just like you to engage it."--Bob Goff, hon. consul for the Republic of Uganda and author New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody Always "I am SO VERY GLAD this book exists. We have long needed Liz's expert voice speaking into the minds of dreamers and doers, the ones who have the ideas and want to execute, and the ones who are exhaustedly executing. We want purpose in our day, and Liz does it with her life and teaches it here."--Annie F. Downs, bestselling author of 100 Days to Brave and Remember God

A Must Read

Liz Forkin Bohannon's uninhibited yet coherent prose is inviting in this merger of self-help and memoir publication of Beginner's Pluck. This author expected more than some thought possible; dreamt more than some thought practical; and risked more than some thought safe. “With plenty of failures and missteps along the way-...actively co-create the world” YOU “want to live in.” What draws us to read a specific book? Is it the cover, the title, the summary, a quote, the reviews, or pieces of all? Just as there are many answers to that question, there are many challenges Liz poses to us throughout the book. Be ready to change and broaden your viewpoints/mindsets, not to hers, but to being open-minded to options/choices/possibilities in “co-creating a world” we want to live in. This alone is justification for this book to be a must read for anyone 16+. I found the book captivating. I didn't want to put it down. I wanted to see what was next. When I read, I'm all in - connected so to speak. I laughed and I cried as the words and stories entered my being. My criticism is questionable in that is it really criticism or continued praise? Every story is supposed to have an ending, doesn't it? The problem is when I was done, I wanted more. More of what? I'm not sure. Maybe it isn't a problem after all, but rather a subtle way to call us to action - to add to the story. Maybe not having an ending is what makes it a great book. This one is definitely thought-provoking. A Cree storyteller once said “Stories are beings. You invite them to live with you. They teach you what they know in return for being a good host. When they're ready to move on they'll let you know. Then you pass them onto someone else.” This is exactly what Beginner's Pluck does; passes on part of a story to help us create our own. A read you will not be disappointed with.

Inspiring!

More than once I've heard my grandmother say "She's got a lot of pluck" and I always thought that this meant "She's got a lot of nerve". According to the dictionary, pluck is defined as spirited and determined courage. Well, the author of this book has all of this! She used her 'pluck', her courage and determination, to create the successful fashion company Seeko Designs. In this book Beginner's Pluck she relates the mistakes she made along the way and how she used those experiences to forge ahead and make success happen. You will probably laugh, you may find yourself shaking your head, but you will definitely find yourself thinking "I can do this also!" This is part memoir and part self-help, but author author Liz Forkin Bohannon will certainly keep your attention. I felt as if she was speaking just to me and I can understand why she is such a successful public speaker. In her conclusion. Bohannon urges readers to get back to who they are meant to be because: You are worthy. You are a unique and irreplaceable part of the Whole. You are created on purpose and for a purpose. You are. You've got pluck. I can't think of a better complement! If you are looking for encouragement and motivation to build or increase your spirited and determined courage, you will want to read Beginner's Pluck. I received a copy of this book from Baker Publishing and I am voluntarily sharing my thoughts in this review. These are my honest opinions.
