OFFICIAL PUBLISHER BLURB
No one can take the shot for you.
Make It Happen asks what success means to you—and whether fear, procrastination or negative self-talk is keeping you from it. Using the driving range as a place to practise, align and develop skill, Lorii Myers shows how to cultivate a resilient mindset and create a flexible, measurable action plan.
The book challenges readers to examine whether the status quo still has enough substance to last a lifetime, recognize opportunity and combine desire, determination and knowledge when it is time to move.

BOOK SYNOPSIS
The promise of the book.
The second volume of 3 Off the Tee moves from workplace attitude into deliberate achievement. It frames healthy competition as a willingness to practise, make decisions, adjust mid-round and play fully for a chosen result.
Readers are asked to define success for themselves, expose the fear and delay that interrupt it, and translate ambition into trackable action. The argument is not that everyone should follow the same path, but that a life should be chosen consciously—and changed when the inherited or familiar version no longer fits.
