L ife moves quickly .

A handful of decisions you make in your early life will impact your future. Choices have consequences, and the ones you made in the past might lead to a regret filled future.

M aybe you thought you had made the right decisions at the time.

Y ou did what you were told to do. You followed the rules and played it safe. You were told the path to success was stable and went in a straight lineonly to find there was no gold at the end of the rainbow.

N ow youre feeling stuck . You look at your life in the present and think, Is this it?

C all it a crisis or a fork in the road, but something must change. You dont want to live the rest of your life on someone elses terms.

Y oure not getting any younger, and you look back at the spent years wondering what you couldve done differently.

Y ou look in the mirror , and you dont see the person your youthful self thought youd become. The dream career never panned out, the book never got written, and the business never got started. The ripped body, full bank account, and freedom to have amazing experiences have never come.

W hat you do have is a past riddled with mistakes and a situation that needs changing.

S o , what do you do?

Y ou reinvent yourself .

I n this book , Im going to show you how I went from depressed, addicted, and broke to living out my dreams of becoming a writer and building a business.

I didnt just change . I got rid of my old self.

I want the same for you. To become a brand-new person, you need a different approach.

I nstead of carrying all your baggage with youpast mistakes, limiting beliefs, and an identity that doesnt belong to youyoure going to start over.

Y ou wont need to swear to yourself that youll become super motivated and accomplish all your dreams. You wont need to rely on willing your way to success, no matter what.

D oes the pull yourself up by the bootstraps, method work? Sure, it does. But for many, it falls short. As humans, we have a lot of psychological and emotional weight we carry with us, and its hard to stay motivated with it strapped to our backs.

T his book will help you accept the past, unravel your limiting beliefs, and wipe your slate clean.

I learned how to reinvent myself through hundreds of hours of trial and error, reading, and connecting with smart people.

I failed more times than I can count, but the transformation Ive made in my life still shocks me. If youd told the person I was a few years ago hed be a published author with his own business, he wouldnt believe you.

I want the same for you.

T ogether , were going to unlearn the patterns that led you to this point and relearn ways to find success based on your terms and no one elses.

T his book isnt about making a million dollars. Its about becoming the person you were meant to be and living the type of life you were meant to live.

Y oull discover methods for identifying and reframing the subtle stories you tell yourself that hold you back.

A fter this fresh start , well work on ways to identify what the new you wants and come up with a plan to help you achieve it.

M ost importantly , youll have a process you can use and reuse.

A fter reading the book , youll have the confidence to try new ventures, and you can build layers of success throughout your remaining life.

Y ou could wait . You could put reading this book offlike most people would.

W hat will your life look like a month from now if you dont change? How about a year? How many years have already slipped through your fingers?

I ve had many times where I decided to put my life on hold. I waited six years before penning my first word. I waited another year before writing my first book. I dont have many regrets in life, but I do wish Id discovered this process sooner because by now, Id be even further along.

Y ou dont have to spend the rest of your life waiting and wishing for a better one.

Y ou can act now . I have made this book brief and simple so you can get to the heart of your issues, resolve them, and move forward as a new person.

D ont be that person who fails at their New Years Resolutions every year until they die. Be that person who takes a chance on him or herself and does what it takes to rewrite their story.

I n this book youll read strategies Ive learned and implemented from psychologists, stoic philosophers, the Buddha, billionaires, and other people who know what theyre talking about.

I f you dont trust me, put your trust in the endless hours Ive spent navigating life and finding a degree of success.

I used to be so lazy I wouldnt get out of bed unless I had to go to work. Now, I wake up in the morning and write 1,000 or more words almost every day. Im a new person, and Ill continue to create better versions of myselfall the while building a legacy.

Y ou can completely flip the script on your life. I know it because I almost guarantee I was less motivated than you are. If I can do it, you can do it.

D ont wait another minute . Jump into the material and begin the reinvention process. Right now.

I n many ancient societies , the Phoenix was a symbol of strength and rebirth.

I t lived for hundreds of years at a time. When it started to feel weak, it would arrange a stake for itself and burst into flames.

A fter being consumed by the fire, the Phoenix rose from the ashes and started a new life.

I n a way , you can be like the Phoenix.

Y ou can start over and live a new life. You can let the fire consume the old you, and rise from the ashes again.

R einventing yourself is different from simply setting goals or trying to change. See, we try to change our behavior and make our circumstances better, but it doesnt work until we become the type of person who can make those changes.

W e cant become the person who can make those changes if were stuck in the past, ruminating on our mistakes, and trying to rewrite whats set in stone.

T he past teaches you about yourself. The mistakes you made in your past can help you avoid repeating them in the future. Your past can act as a lens that foreshadows what your life might be like if you continue to live the same way.

I n an ideal world , wed all analyze our pasts, move on, and improve ourselves. This doesnt often happen because weve created an identity around our past selves.
