Our lives are made up of many big moments and it is these big moments that define us. Some of those moments are full of infinite joy – landing your dream job, marrying the love of your life, having your first child, buying your first pad, starting a business, travelling to places that have been on your bucket list for eternity and sharing moments with those you love.

Along the way there are also those not so good moments, breaking up with your love, losing your job, getting into a financial pickle, travel trips ending badly and your parents encountering declining health and needing care.

Like with anything new, we often find ourselves in an unfamiliar place as we reach these milestones. It’s at this point we reach a crossroad. We have two choices, to reach out for the right advice from someone who has travelled the road previously, or to go it alone.

This crossroad can be a defining moment in our life, as the decision not to seek the right advice may impact the rest of our life – significantly.

This book is packed with relatable stories, invaluable insights from contributing experts and extensive helpful resources that allows you to feel confident in making those important, informed decisions, particularly legal or practical decisions, on the Big Moments throughout your life journey and will save you time and money in not making the mistakes that so many of us make with “many first” events that can change the trajectory of your life.

Throughout this book the author also draws on her extensive network of experienced experts in their field, providing compelling insight from some of Australia’s greatest leaders in business and law and allowing the reader to be the recipient of such meaningful advice from such eminent leaders.

This book touches on thought-provoking topics providing the reader with guidance on how to navigate these particular parts of their journey, encouraging them to embrace the opportunities that come their way, and conquering their fears. Many topics will also assist in providing the reader with peace of mind if they take the recommended actions contained in relevant chapters.

At the end of each section of the book invaluable in-depth resources are provided for the reader enabling them to easily access additional information about their particular topic of relevance should they wish to.

BIG MOMENTS is a book that every 20 to 44 year old should have on their bookshelf to pull out on an as need basis as they navigate their life journey.

Reviews for Big Moments: Expert Advice for Conquering the Big Moments That Define Us

"'There is so much to love about Melisa Sloan's latest book: BIG MOMENTS. I think every reader will relate to the life-changing moments she writes about, and most will be extremely grateful to have her wisdom and advice to help guide them through the critical moments that impact on our future. A detailed, thorough, fun and extremely practical read. Job well done, Melisa Sloan.' - Andrew Griffiths, International Bestselling Author, 14 books sold in 65 countries 'I will be putting this into the hands of my young friends who are navigating leaving home, starting a career, heading overseas, getting hitched and starting a family.' - Fiona McLay, Tech-enabled Lawyer Evangelist and Founder of McLay Legal Consulting 'I will buy copies for my (adult) kids, my nephews and my nieces. Life, as Melisa mentions, is chock full of curveballs and that of course is what makes life in the 21st century so interesting. Melisa's book will help many not to get KO'd by these curveballs.' - John Chisholm, Founder of John Chisholm Consulting 'I can't speak more highly of Melisa's book for helping young adults meet all the new challenges they face for the first time with confidence. This is the guidebook they need to help them every step of the way with a path forward.' - Adam White, Sports Broadcaster and Media Training and Media Management Consulting, Media Champions 'When the first of my children was born, my mother said to me, ""It's such a shame children don't come with a handbook or manual. It would make raising them so much easier."" Several decades on, Melisa Sloan has penned an operating manual, not for babies but for the likes of my now-adult children as they navigate some more of life's milestones or big moments. Melisa applies her pragmatic lawyerly mind to the big issues and transactions that can stop us in our tracks as adults of any age. I intend to gift this book to each of my three children as the guide I wish I'd had. It would have made adulting so much easier!' - Anne-Marie David, Executive Director, College of Law Queensland 'In this great book, Melisa Sloan has gathered all the information we all wish we had in advance of those big moments so that we can prepare, plan or at least navigate those moments with a little more ease. This is a great, simple read for anyone wanting to be in charge of their own future.' - Clarissa Rayward, Lawyer, Author, Founder and Director of Brisbane Family Law 'Small matters often don't feel like they matter - until the big moments when they really do. Many of us don't pay enough attention to those small details, which makes Melisa Sloan's one-stop guide an invaluable resource, filled with expert advice on how to make sure we get the most out of life and don't get caught short when it really matters.' - Brydon Coverdale, TV Presenter, Quiz Writer, Chaser and Journalist"
