The Coyote Code Dave D Nelson

We spend the first 20 years of our lives being asked what we want to be when we grow up. Then we spend the next 20 finding out for ourselves. And though that can be exciting, it's not easy. The first part of our lives is, with few exceptions, a step-by-step, guided path: Elementary school. High school. College. But after that, the roadmap stops. While you might have dreams and ideas of what you want to achieve in your career, the path getting there isn't easily paved. And it's different for everyone. Overcoming stress. Finding purpose. Maintaining motivation. These are all roadblocks we have all faced at some point throughout our lives. I would like to tell you it gets easier or it goes away. It doesn't. We can develop our Grit and endurance and develop strategies and foundations that make so much less severe. That is what the Coyote Code is designed to do. It is some ideas to wrestle with that may help you develop that Grit and find the peace and success you desire while minimizing the stress and disappointments. While everyone's career path is ultimately different, we also know there's a lot we can learn from the journey of those who've been there before. I hope these few pages of conversation and reflection from my many years of struggle will help you find yours.
