Chapter 1 – Why Motivation is Key to Everything

Sounds grim, doesn’t it? Grit and determination are not exactly normally spoken in the same breath as “fun” or “relaxation!”

Actually though, once you get your motivation and your discipline sorted, you will find that you have more time to enjoy yourself or to relax with family. That’s because you’ll be able to work more quickly and efficiently, and you’ll be able to work towards the goals that actually interest you.

I have a real issue with people who say that in order to be successful you need to sacrifice time with family and friends. It bothers me when people say they can’t be in a relationship because they need to “focus on their career.”

The reason this bothers me is that I 100% believe (and know) that you can have it both ways. You can work extremely hard on a project you are passionate about and be extremely successful doing so. At the same time though, you can still find time to spend with friends and family. You can still find time to relax on the sofa and watch TV. You just have to work HARD and work SMART and then STOP.

In this course, you’ll learn how to do all of that.

And with this kind of motivation and mental toughness will come all kinds of additional benefits. Benefits you can’t even believe.

Firstly, you’ll find that you’re more resilient to things that happen in your life. When you get bad news, you will be able to take it in your stride, adapt, and carry on. When you have more determination, you’ll be able to improve all your skills through intense learning, analysis, and repetition. When you have
motivation, you’ll be cognitively faster because you’ll be able to focus on the task at hand without distraction.

And you’ll be able to get out of bed on time in the morning. Clear the kitchen at the start of each day. And bite your tongue in an argument because you aren’t a slave to your emotions (resulting in many hurt feelings prevented).

This will be your superpower. It will change EVERYTHING for you. And in this book, you’re going to learn how to tap into it.
