The Anti-Preneur Manifesto Workbook
A guided workbook to define the principles you’ll live and lead by.
career doesn’t transform because of luck, titles, or certifications. It transforms because of the standards you choose to live by every day. The Anti-preneur Manifesto Workbook helps you create your own set of guiding principles, a personal code that shapes how you work, lead, and grow. Whether you’re early in your career or decades into it, your manifesto becomes the compass that keeps you grounded, focused, and moving forward. If you’re ready to lead yourself with clarity and consistency, this is your next step.
What a Personal Manifesto Actually Does
A manifesto is not a goal list. It’s not a vision board. It’s the identity-level blueprint that determines how you show up, especially when pressure rises or choices get hard.
Inside the workbook, you'll learn how a manifesto helps you:
Clarify your values so you know exactly what matters.
Accelerate your growth because decisions become simple when they reflect your principles.
Build identity, not just plans; your actions begin aligning with who you choose to be.
A manifesto gives you something most professionals lack: an internal standard stronger than external pressure.
Why Every Anti-preneur Needs a Manifesto
Most people spend years chasing goals they never chose.
They react to expectations, circumstances, and workplace demands, losing track of who they want to become.
A manifesto reverses that.
It acts as your personal operating system, guiding how you lead, make decisions, and grow. Dr. Markel didn’t follow someone else’s code; he lived by five principles that shaped his entire career. You’ll explore each one and then write your own.
No more drifting.
No more reacting.
Your manifesto puts you back in the driver’s seat.
