Are you giving up your best years to pursue money so you can enjoy life after you retire?Does every weekend end with the "Sunday Scaries?"I’m an entrepreneur and author who writes about the winding path of pulling myself out of the embalming fluid of Corporate America to define my own vision of success. Now I can provide a blueprint based on many mistakes and successes to help you determine what living an autonomous life means to you.I’ve been both a senior-level manager at a Fortune 500 company and a long-time private business owner. I wrote my book, Against the Grain, to help you kick down your own walls and break free from Society’s lies. And show you how creating a life aligned with your Purpose can bring you more personal freedom and fulfillment.My motto is: Success equals autonomy!Here’s what people are saying:“ In Against the Grain, Perkins doesn’t hold back as he details his journey through the corporate world to ultimately becoming an entrepreneur and taking control of his path forward. A great read for aspiring business owners as well as people stuck in a career they’re not satisfied with. Highly recommended!”— Marc Grondahl, Co-founder of Planet Fitness“Where do you see yourself in ten years? Deeper in debt? Same miserable job? Wasting the days and years of your life living someone else’s dream? This book is your way forward, a way to find your own life, the hope and guide you need to finally live the life meant for you.”— Thomas Plummer, Founder of NFBA, mentor, author, and fitness business advisorI’d love to hear what you think of it.
