YKP Connect: September Newsletter

So let’s Set September in Successful Motion!

Happy Saturday! August, we bid you adieu! It’s the unofficial-official start of fall. As summer is winding down, I hope August was adventurous, amazing and audacious. Were you aggressively keeping up with that to-do list or aptly and appropriately enjoying the summer vibes?☀️ 

August was a chance to get in those last-minute summer vacations right before the busy school year gets started.
Now as we’re gearing up to get into September, it’s also important to note, National Hispanic Heritage month will start mid-September into mid-October. Remember to celebrate and appreciate the colorful cultures, rich histories and the diversity of the Latinx community

Switching gears, here’s your chance to start September with some strong, smart, successful and sharp tips. (See what I did there?🤔)

Let’s get into what we've got lined up for you:

YKP Connect Book Recommendation Series: Grace Mureithi

In our book recommendation series, we highlight quality reads meant to inspire, educate and innovate fresh ideas. Today, an exciting debut piece from Grace Mureithi, the Founder of Shooting Star Success.

Daring Boldly: Your Shooting Star Journey to Purpose, Fulfillment and Success, is the first title by Mureithi. A strong, soul-stirring guide for high achievers who’ve done everything “right” but feel something's still missing and are ready to rediscover purpose, reignite joy and align their life with what truly matters.

This isn’t just a book, Mureithi says, it’s a roadmap. Following the Shooting Star Journey Framework, you too can realign yourself and your future:

READY: Pause and Rediscover what truly matters.

SET: Dream again. Clarify goals and align them with your values.

GO: Take Simple, bold action.

HURRAY: Celebrate progress by creating a rhythm of joy and sustainable success that lasts.

The book is now available on her website and if you order directly off of the page, you will get a free Digital Wheel of Life Assessment and a complimentary two-hour Live Vision Board & Life Purpose Workshop with Mureithi.

This is your chance to redefine your journey and realign your future for success!
