Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that there are motions in the works for a new book The Success Study 2.
If you loved the first book and got a lot out of it - you will love this new one.
So far there have been 17 reviews all of which are 5-star positive reviews for the first book in the series.
It contained exclusive interviews with the likes of Dr. Stephen R. Covey - US presidential adviser and best-selling success author, Catherine Ryan Hyde - writer of the book which became the blockbuster movie Pay it Forward with Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt, Justice Kirby - Australia's highest court judge and many more.
The book itself was a culmination of a 5 year success study that I undertook.
As a couple more years have pasted I wouldn't mind stepping it up a notch and really delivering success to all you guys and gals out there.
In order to do that I have to be crystal clear in what makes the major difference between someone who is successful and someone who is not.
There are a lot of factors at play if you actually did a controlled environment scientific study where you could actually control a lot of these factors. And of course the world itself is not a controlled environment. But your mind is. If that leaves any clues...
Until next time,
To positively change the world forever...

The lacking ingredient of success
I just thought I'd check in to let you all know that yes I am still pursuing my quest to become a full time author. In this post I'd like to shortly discuss an ingredient that many people are lacking in the quest to live a successful life.
When people talk about a successful life these days at a truly deep level, most people if they are honest with themselves and others will say that it involves being happy, great relationships, wealth, health and the majority of things we feel in our hearts and see around us.
I'm going to narrow the key to success to simply one true goal.
Happiness.
If you lived your life as a life full of happiness in the majority of instances you would probably be very satisfied with how you lived.
Now if the major goal of life is to be truly happy as most people will testify to - then what is it that can make you happy on a consistent basis whilst you are on the journey to achieving goals in other areas which in turn should make you happy.
The answer ladies and gentlemen as simply as it sounds is fitness.
Fitness not as its source motivator in looking good, being strong, having self-confidence, having great health and all the other plethora of benefits that it offers.
Fitness with its source motivator in providing more happiness in your life on a day to day basis and for life.
Think about it this way - the way you think determines the actions you take. True or not true?
You really don't need 100 reasons why you should do something to get you motivated to do it.
Because if you do - when you make the decision about whether or not to do it you will have to think too much before acting.
All you really need is a bulls-eye focus with 100 different reasons supporting it.
I am suggesting that if your true life goal is to be truly happy as consistently as you can for your life then try exercising regularly. Not to lose weight. Not to become a hulk. Not to get better at a sport. Not for your health. Not for any other reason other than it will make you feel fantastic overall.
I have found that the majority of people who are in the top 10% of successful living do this on a regular basis.
I have thoroughly compared those who trained regularly to those getting started out, to those going through phases to those who did not train consistently or never really got started.
The difference was without a doubt what their main motivation for training was.
Make happiness your bulls-eye target for fitness.
Make happiness your bulls-eye target for lifelong success.
Of course I am talking about true happiness in this instance.
To positively change the world forever.
