Ready, Set, Grow by Dondi Scumaci

Fulfilling the Life the God Designed for You to Live

“Ready, Set…Grow!” is jam packed with poignant stories of real people who have found fulfillment in their personal lives. Dondi Scumaci offers hope, inspiration, motivation and practical action steps to help the reader renew their passion, overcome uncertainties, and become the person God designed them to be as they also find success in their career goals.

The book is made up of three groups or themes: Preparation, planting, and producing. Scumaci includes principles on how to recognize self-limiting beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. She provides keys to replacing anxiety with anticipation, and how to be optimistic in the midst of tough circumstances.

The book is well organized, user friendly and follows a natural progression of information and content. I found the charts, illustrations, and lists helpful in assimilating the material. The journalling exercises with thought provoking questions helped me formulate stimulating entries in my own daily journal. “Reflections” at the end of each of the three sections of the book help the reader internalize the principles presented in the previous chapters.

The chapter describing the concept of mentoring offered me a significant challenge. The potential promise, satisfaction, and personal growth in establishing these relationships offers a reward in benefits beyond the time and effort invested.

“Ready, Set…Grow!” is a book of discovery, inspiration, and motivation. Scumaci presents action steps and life changing principles for the reader to cultivate in their daily lives while realizing their personal dreams and goals.

Dondi Scumaci models the leadership development skills she advocates in her own personal and business life. She is an articulate communicator with a refreshing writing style.
