A Note from Ellen:
It breaks my heart to know that 80% of people hate their jobs.
I want to live in a world where 100% of people wake up excited to go to work — whether they work for a big company, a small company, or run their own business.
I know that we’re a long way off from living in that kind of world, but creating The UNLOCKED Academy is my way of bringing us a little closer.
I have poured my heart into these workbooks — along with multiple decades of experience in fundraising, pitching, networking, mentoring and entrepreneurship. I hope that everything inside The UNLOCKED Academy is deeply useful to you.

A Note from Alex:
When Ellen asked if I would help her to write a series of guidebooks on how to create a career that makes you happy, I couldn’t have possibly said “YES!” any faster.
I know, from personal experience, that creating a meaningful career takes tremendous discipline and patience. The whole notion of an “overnight success” is a myth. Real success takes daily, focused action. More than anything else... THAT’S what these workbooks are all about. Clear, simple, focused... action.
I hope you love them. We certainly loved creating them for you.

A Note from Shauna:
From personal experience, once I graduated from college, it took me a solid five years to get my footing and figure out how to transition to my dream career of running a boutique design studio.
I only wish I’d known Ellen back then -- she’s such a valuable asset to anyone hoping to carve out a career that’s not just another job they dread going to every day. It’s completely posssible to earn a great living doing what you love.
Working with Ellen on these workbooks to make your ideal career a reality has been so rewarding -- enjoy!
