“What’s Your New Book About?”

It might not work, but my new book is out and ready to be read.

Not to call it out, but a lot of people have asked me the wrong question. “What’s your new book about?”

Really? You don’t care what the book is about, what you really care about is the value of it.

I can tell you it’s about a garbage man who is fed up with the way his life is going and who decides to transform it. That doesn’t hold much value to you unless you’re a garbage man fed up with the way your life is going.

The value really lies in four corners:

1) The most successful people attend seminars on success, on business, on self-growth. I’ve written this book to give you a temporary shortcut; for you to gather insight into the way seminars are ran and the unique lessons you can learn from them. (Learn for $4.99, what most will charge you $100, $300, $900 dollars to learn.)

2) So often we read stories to escape the real world. Nothing wrong with that. I’ve written this book so you can escape the real world, but also return having learned about fear, about taking chances, about finding and following your passion. It’s a book that you’ll be happy to return to the real world at the end of.

3) In the end, you’re the hero, you’re the protagonist, you’re the one who has grown, not Alex (the main character in my novel).

4) You’ll get to say you’ve tried something new. I know how hard it is to go out of your comfort zone, to buy something that coincides with uncertainty, to try something new. This book was written to ease you into a new habit of expanding your comfort zone and confronting the barriers holding you back from adventure, from a life fully lived.

If all of this doesn’t seem to be valuable enough for you, perhaps my next book might be for you. Alas, I still encourage you to give this one a shot.

For Those Looking To Transform

One event and one thought inspired me to write a book. The event was National Novel Writing Month. In early 2013, I committed to writing 50,000 plus words come November. I did it.

The thought behind the book was that I wanted to give people hoping to transform their lives the ability to go to a seminar on success without having to pay hundreds of dollars. It’s not that I don’t hope you do, but I understand it’s not the most practical thing for people who really want to transform their lives to do.

My novel offers an escape from the real world as many novels do, but I promise you will not come back without having learned something valuable to use in the real world.

Alas, you can find my novel here. I hope you find it worth your time.

 

Stay Positive & Enjoy

 

Start Schooling Dreams: Chapter Preview

107. Idol study

A common question that is asked in elementary school is “who is your hero?” It makes you think about who you look up to, who you admire, who you take after. They have children already thinking about how to emulate the successful but then middle school, high school, and higher education never asks it again, never follows up, and never checks in to see who students are paying more attention to than the teachers.

Could you see anything wrong with a class that is centered on emulating the previously successful? As the saying goes, you can’t do the same thing and expect different results. But why would it matter when the results of legendary people are already that, legendary. See, these heroes, these role models, these idols we look up to and attach ourselves to, they produce more inspiration than all the teachers combined.

The worst that could happen in a class focused on emulating these inspirational idols is that the student falls short. Fortunately, falling short of being legendary is still better than the breadth of success students are attaining now.
