Table of contents
Chapter 1. The beginning
In the first chapter, the author discusses the misconception that everyone comes into this world with a guidebook that helps them make all of the right decisions on their journey to success as if they were following some map. Little did the author know that just about everyone is on a similar trip feeling like the only person in the entire world without a plan. It took him many years to finally realize that it was not just him and that everyone was learning by making the wrong choices and mistakes. They, too, are growing, learning, and building a tool chest. This thought helped Jim develop a more healthy and realistic perspective to embrace the questions and the challenges that would guide him.
