“I have never met anyone as passionate and positive as Lisa Sasso. Reading her book is like having Lisa right beside you, encouraging and empowering you to strive for the life you want, the life you deserve. Lisa’s enthusiasm on each page is contagious. I especially like how Lisa’s book is broken down into chapters for each month of the year, each with a renewing focus. We all have great intentions and lofty goals in January, but what about the other eleven months? Each chapter is like a New Year re-boot. I also like the book’s focus on family and work/life balance. Lisa’s writings remind us of one of the many benefits of success: the freedom to spend time with loved ones. Lisa discusses the need to recharge our batteries and to cherish every moment. This book is a great tool to keep close at hand all year long. During any time of the year, if you need to refocus, open this book and get the encouraging and wise coaching you need.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading Motivation Now! by Lisa Sasso. It was easy to read, well organized, and quite thought provoking, too. We all have busy lives, especially at certain time of the year (seasonal holidays and other annual celebrations). These special moments throughout the year should give us time to ponder and reflect, and to consider how blessed and grateful we are. Sometimes it’s hard to stay positive when things aren’t exactly going as we imagined. Lisa suggests taking your hopes and dreams and turning them into personal or professional goals, taking one day at a time, and being grateful for what we have achieved. We should celebrate all the small victories in our lives!”

– Judy Isaacson, Executive Consultant, Vital Now!


“Motivation Now” provides an engaging balance of personal stories, thoughtful analysis, and specific recommendations for creating a well-balanced, successful life over the course of a year.  I teach Time Management and Productivity, so I really appreciate Lisa’s organized 12-month structure, with an inspirational quote at the beginning of each chapter setting the tone for that month’s lesson, and a space for reflections at the end providing a catalyst for planning follow-up activities each month.  This book provides personal, thoughtful coaching for keeping motivated to live a successful, well-balanced life throughout your year.”

– Maryann Murphy, MSW, Certified Professional Organizer, Productivity Speaker, and Creator of “28 Days to Time Management Success”


“I enjoyed reading the book, Motivation Now!  There are a lot of coaches with books out there so I wasn’t sure what to expect.  Lisa touched my heart.  She is authentic and real and it comes through in every picture that she includes of her beautiful family.

It’s July so of course, I started with July.  182 days left in the year.  I still have 182 days to make by 2017 goals a reality.  That was exactly the push I needed.  You reminded me to get focused again and get going.  Thanks, Lisa.  You set a great example for all of us.”

– Teresa Wallace, Executive Coach, Agility Leadership Coaching


“Offering inspiring tidbits and experiences from her own life, Lisa motivates readers to take positive actions to transform their own lives.”

– Joyce College, MBA, RN, AblaCor Medical Corporation


“Lisa, the “Coach”, is evidenced in her focused writing within each month’s motivational theme.  Success with a coach is achieved by executing the challenges provided from the coach’s experience.  Each month focuses on a personal challenge to me and a testimony of her personal experience.  As the months move forward, we have opportunity to be happier, successful, self-confident, professional, aware, and most importantly, inspirational to others.  Although the topics cycle through the Julian calendar, the lifelong benefits will require repeated reading.  Keep your copy of Motivation Now!  always close.”

“Motivation Now! is a thoughtfully comprised book of engaging and uplifting antidotes.  It is craft-fully broken up into months so that you can receive an inspirational message at a specific time of year when you need it most.  I like how at the end of each section you can personally reflect and make a connection to what the author is conveying.  In addition to its motivational messages, this book has many insightful stories, family pictures, and personal accounts- which allows the reader to become connected and know that they too can achieve that personal goal.  I highly recommend this book for its inspirational message and practical advice that can be easily implemented into your life.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading Motivation Now! I appreciated the monthly format and loved March-Luck Now!  I also loved the monthly quotes, my favorite being “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you’ll be a success” (Albert Schweitzer).   After reading Motivation Now! I was reminded of the many blessings in the people surrounding me and opportunities I have had in my life. Lisa’s reminders of having goals and remaining focused enhance these blessing and prepare you for even greater achievements.  As a fitness professional, I strive to help my clients see their potential, and I am confident Motivation Now! will be another tool to add to my repertoire. I love being able to write thoughts and reflections at the end of each chapter…. I plan to return to those and review the changes I have made (as well as changes I still need to make) as I read the book again and again. I plan to share Lisa’s inspirational messages and introspective exercises with my friends, family and clients by gifting them a copy of Motivation Now!”
