I’m a lucky man. Bill Leider has been a mentor, business partner, and dear friend for over 35 years. When Bill told me he was working on a new book, What’s Next? How to Make Your Next Chapter Your Best Chapter, I was happy to be among the first to see it. I’ve been reading PDF versions of the book for a long time, eagerly awaiting its final release. Now that it is available for purchase, I highly recommend it!
Over the years, Bill and I have shared countless conversations, important milestones, and a few adventures. He was instrumental in coaxing out of me the vision and values that drove the growth, success, and eventual sale of one of my first companies. When I came up with the idea for RealEstateShows.com, I asked Bill to be the CEO. I’ve also had the honor of being a groomsman at his wedding. We are not casual friends. 🙂
I’ve witnessed firsthand his limitless curiosity, deep reflection, and commitment to personal and professional growth. His new book beautifully captures these qualities, making it informative and deeply inspiring.
What’s Next? isn’t your typical self-help guide. It blends practical wisdom with key insights from neuroscience, exploring how we can all harness our brain’s remarkable capacity for change (neuroplasticity) to overcome fears, rewrite limiting beliefs, and step confidently into life’s next chapters. He thoughtfully guides you through critical self-reflection, visioning, aligning with core values, and discovering your greater purpose.
One of the standout elements in the book is Bill’s “Magic Question.” It’s a simple and sneakily effective tool for unlocking possibilities, “What would it take…?” I’ve seen Bill leverage this technique with me firsthand in our business dealings and life, transforming seemingly insurmountable challenges into actionable paths forward. It simply works.
If you’re at a turning point, a crossroads, feel stuck, or just want to explore something new, What’s Next? is written for you. He generously shares his hard-earned experiences and invites readers into a journey that is as much about discovering new opportunities as it is about deepening self-awareness.
There are no surface-level conversations with Bill. He’s not a fan of small talk. Our conversations are always filled with wisdom, humor, and genuine empathy. Reading this book felt just like having another great chat with him. I’m grateful to have had Bill’s guidance throughout my life journey, and I’m excited for others to experience his mentorship through the pages of What’s Next?.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. It might just change your life.
“When you replace stress with belief and curiosity you contribute to your brains health”…. That’s a very helpful shift in the way I’m approaching my own ‘What’s Next’. Thank you for the very poignant recommendation.
Bill has been an amazing mentor to me over the years. I think you’ll enjoy this one, Peter.
