Be Awesome Today: A Field Guide for Leading with Faith, Grit, and Purpose (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184343297)

"How are you, Bill?"
"I'm Freakin Awesome."

For Bill Young, that answer was never just a line. It was a decision he made fresh every morning, to show up with purpose no matter what the day held.

In Be Awesome Today, Bill shares the faith, family, and hard-won lessons behind a life of leadership that has carried him through public service, healthcare, higher education, technology, and a term as Mayor of El Dorado, Kansas. This book reaches past titles and corner offices to something more personal: who you become when no one is watching, and how the small choices you make every day shape the leader, the parent, and the person you are called to be.

Organized around twelve Daily Drivers and fifteen chapters in three parts, Lead Yourself First, Lift Others Up, and Leave a Legacy, Be Awesome Today is part leadership guide and part personal testimony. Bill writes honestly about the people who shaped him. The brother-in-law whose quiet faith reawakened his own. The daughter whose courage as an Army officer inspires him daily. The wife who has been his steady strength for nearly three decades.

Grounded in Scripture and real experience, each chapter offers practical wisdom for leading teams and families alike, and closes with a reflection and an affirmation to help you live it out.

Whether you are leading a company, a team, a classroom, or simply yourself, this is an invitation to lead with faith, serve with heart, and live with gratitude.

Because being awesome is a choice. A deliberate, daily decision to show up, give your best, and honor the gifts you have been given. And today is a great day to make it.

Be present. Be grateful. Be courageous.
Be Awesome Today.
