You're at your wits' end. Again. Your teen is bright, savvy, and capable--and completely unmotivated.

• Help your teen ignite their creativity and passion

• Encourage your teen to envision and set worthy and attainable milestones

Small changes can have huge impacts--the kind that inspire confidence, a sense of accomplishment, and the desire to keep going, keep doing, and stay the course. If you're looking to motivate your teen and set the stage for success and happiness, this book can help you get started today.
