"This book is your way back to happy."

"This short sentence from Your Way Back to Happy hit home with me: "Your past can get in the way of your best future." I have worked with thousands of entrepreneurs and leaders and far too often I hear some version of: "I know I was meant for more but every time I feel like I am on the verge of a breakthrough something stops me dead in my tracks - even if I am successful in the moment the voice in the back of my head says it will never last." If this sounds like you then I have good news - this book is Your Way Back to Happy."

" I highly recommend this book!"

"I really like this book because it kept my interest with the authors own story infused honestly throughout. She talks about her struggles which makes her relatable. She has exercises for the reader to do throughout the book to get started on some better routines. I look forward to applying better scheduling to my life! The portion that talks about email was also very helpful to me. It gave me hope that I can manage my inbox, when for years its just been too overwhelming to even try. Small changes everyday to get me heading in the right direction. It’s inspiring and helpful. I highly recommend this book!"

- Michelle

"The lessons in this book were really timely! "

"There's something authentically tender about the Author's writing style that makes each word stick with you throughout the day. It really helps to make big tasks seem smaller and more achievable. One major insight that really impacted me was the idea that "Legacy" is not only what you leave behind but also what has been left behind for you! It made me think about the previous generations and all they sacrificed for me. Now I have my own little family, and it's my turn to sacrifice and fight for them! The lessons in this book were really timely! I'm even more focused to genuinely live out the life I am so blessed to live. Cheers to a great read!"

- Justin Foy

" Janelle does NOT sugarcoat her entrepreneurial journey."

"What I appreciate most about this book is that Janelle does NOT sugarcoat her entrepreneurial journey. She takes us through her highs and lows and what actually worked for her during her journey. Most books about success just give you the strategy. Janelle not only explains the strategies she uses but then shows them in action which makes it easier to adopt these principles into your own life!"

- Michelle Mazur, Ph.D

"There are so many practical tools in this great book. "

"There are so many practical tools in this great book. It is definitely a must read for anyone who wants to take back control & have more peace in their life. Janelle uses her own life challenges & struggles to demonstrate the importance of looking at those problems as opportunities. "Everything we do is a choice"."

- Laurie

"Purchasing this book was a good investment."

"This book was well written. Janelle made some very good points and presented them in a way that was both helpful and easy to understand. She was the experience to know how to be successful but what I appreciate is she is also a real person (like me) and she presented her points in a way that made sense...that even I could understand as opposed to some authors who leave me confused and questioning because they speak over my head. Though I already knew some of points already she (1) reminded me of areas I need to work on again, and (2) She made some points I had not thought of before. All-in-all purchasing this book was a good investment."

- Michael Gish

"I think it is a good book for anyone!!!"

"I like that the writer used her own life experiences, failures and successes, to relate to the reader. I loved the excercises at the end of chaperters. It helps the reader relate to what they just read. Plus gives insight into there own failures and successes. I think it is a good book for anyone!!! We all want to succeed in life, this book can help you understand your own mind to get you were you want to be."

- Charissa Henry

"This book will be a help to many."

"What I especially appreciated about Janelle’s book can be summarized in 4 words. First would be Authenticity, as her book isn’t just theory but flows from her life and business practice. Second would be Inspiration, in sharing some of her history and struggles with transparency, this will no doubt be an important touch point for some of her readers. Third would be Integrity because there’s consistency between her words and her actions from my observation. Lastly would be Practical, as she offers suggestions and tools to give her readers the opportunity to explore the subjects further and move forward in their life. This book will be a help to many."

- L. Eide

"Her passion for great leadership is evident in this book."

"I found myself multiple times being being able to relate to Janelle's stories. Her discussion of home/work balance is something that I continue to work on, both physically and mentally. In this easy to read book, she provides numerous practical tools to help with many struggles that come up for leaders. Her passion for great leadership is evident in this book and I thank her for her vulnerability and honesty. A great read for leaders at any level!"
