"An incredibly authentic 'view from the top' from a leader who has never forgotten his roots, and in fact has used them as a competitive advantage."
--Kim Davis, managing director, TENEO LLC, former president, JPMorganChase Foundation
"The message to the next generation of leaders needs to be 'embrace your passion.' This needs to be reinforced...in business and life. James Rosseau is on it. I have seen James lead teams of people with gentle, dedicated, and passionate direction. He is a leader who garners respect. His words will inspire."
--Mark Berman, president, Mallett Group
Passion comes from inside. Stoke it.
Setbacks happen. Find your way around, over, and through them.
Be willing to receive, then give back. Pay it forward.
Many people--perhaps four out of five or more--are dissatisfied with their jobs. Why not pursue a dream?
It's up to you to create your custom-tailored career and define success your way. But how? Combine your burning passion with drive, determination, strategy, and commitment to pay it forward; find and nurture mentor support, stay steady on your path, and see the fireworks. SUCCESS ON YOUR OWN TERMS will show you exactly how to do it.
Living parallel lives as a Christian hip-hop artist/producer and a Fortune 100 executive and author, James Rosseau has merged the streams of his dual passions to make a difference in his own life and the lives of countless others.
Learning to make and keep six promises during his diverse career, Rosseau now shows anyone in transition, looking for a change or ready to act on their passion how to do the same:
- Embrace your passion. Don't discount your dreams. Return to that childlike fascination you once had and find a way to spend your work and life passionately.
- Perform to progress versus perfection. Don't become paralyzed by perfection or the pursuit of it. Instead, perform to progress toward your goals and dreams, celebrating each small step along the way.
- Promote with purpose. Let people know who you are in a way that is personal and purposeful -- not a slick self-promoter. People recognize and reward those who stand confidently in their strengths authentically and purposefully.
- Parlay your platform. Your 'platform' is the station in life you've achieved thus far. It is the sum total of all your efforts in honing your talents and skills. It may not be where you want to be yet, but it's yours.
- Put it into action. Keep your eyes and ear open to see when opportunity knocks. Be alert to it and be aware. Take action on the four steps that lead up to this as earnestly and as often as possible.
- Practice philanthropy. Give. You can never go wrong giving, even when no one hears about it. So many of us have benefitted from the gifts of others, and you'll never know what your small, or even not-so-small, gift might mean to someone in need, be it a coworker, a friend, or even a boss.
Through his personal stories, lessons, setbacks, and triumphs--from the neighborhoods of North Philadelphia to Fortune 100 boardroom--Rosseau reveals new possibilities in an inspiring blend of smart strategy, hard work, and willingness to connect to help others.

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
