"In “Giving You the Wow and the How,” Sharmen Lane helps you find your true passion through a series of self-examining questions, but she doesn’t stop there. Once you are able to identify and see the “big picture,” she helps you break it down into a series of small, attainable steps and exercises that help propel you towards your ultimate goal.

While other self-help, motivational rah-rah, secret of life “experts” get rich off filling you full of mantras and vague theories, Sharmen lays out a simple common sense approach to helping you achieve and reach your desires. She teaches you how to utilize the same steps that she employed to go from a high school drop-out manicurist living an unfulfilling life to finding her passion and becoming an internationally known speaker, author, and radio show host. Sharmen is brutally honest in telling her compelling story and her success serves as inspiration for anyone wanting more out of their life. I know it has inspired me.

Let Sharmen help you discover your passion and guide you to creating your own success. Stop letting others paint you with a broad brush, read this book, broaden your palette and paint your life’s masterpiece with the intricate details only you can!"

"Sharmen Lane came into my life in 2006. I was ready to learn and change myself for the better, and they say when the student is ready the teacher will appear. So true! She taught me a lot about the financial services industry, in which she was very successful and kind enough to share her secrets. Then I read her book, 'the 7 secrets to create your fate.' I must admit it takes a lot for me to read and stay interested in a book. Sharmen's book was so interesting to me I read the whole book in one sitting! Inspired and impacted by her, I then decided to take her on as a personal coach. My life has never been the same since. She taught me how to get what I wanted out of life in easy baby steps, which resulted in a huge leap! Her thought process and steps are second to none, and she has changed my life forever! Her second book the "Wow and the How" is a fun, simple, motivating, entertaining read! A real impressive follow up to her first book! THANK YOU SHARMEN LANE!"
