Id like to dedicate this book to my dear friends Tony Robbins, Joe Polish, and Dan Sullivan, the three people who have had a massive influence on my life, my success, and my abundance.

I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for those three men who came into my life exactly when they were needed. But I also want to dedicate this book to all the men and women throughout the years who had the will and selflessness to share their life-changing wisdom, through books and talks, with those eager for a new path.

I did my best to soak in all that I heard, read, and observed, and in turn, what I learned seeped into my thoughts and my words. The exercises, the stories, the recipes, and the success habits youll find in these pages Ive learned through decades of my own trial and error, failures and successes. But they have been greatly enriched by all the others who have walked the path before me, and for that Im grateful.

This dedication, then, is my way of recognizing all the people who have made such a big difference in my life. Im hoping that in the same way, I will serve you, and this book will make an equally big difference in your life.

CONTENTS

When I decided to sit down and write a book exposing the raw, unfiltered habits that took me from generations of hardworking yet struggling family members to more success than I ever imagined possible for one man to achieve, I hoped it would make an impact on those who read it. But I have to be honestI never imagined this book would become one of the best-selling books in the world and go viral. As I write this quick little update at the start of the book to let you know about two new chapters Ive added, this book has well over 300,000 copies shipped and growing fast. Dont just dabble with this book. Dont just read the first few chapters and put it off until another day. Devour this book and put the lessons in to play in your life. And I almost forgot, the book got even better with two never-before-seen chapters on productivity and how to out-hustle and outperform everyone around you. This is your time. Make it real!

In the spring of 1944, a boy who well call J.P. was born to immigrant parents in a rough neighborhood in the heart of Los Angeles. Before J.P. was two years old, his parents divorced, his mother struggled financially, and by the time he was nine years old, J.P. was out on the streets looking for a way to help his mom make ends meet. Newspapers, flowerpots, Christmas cardsyou name it, he most likely tried to sell it. When his mother could no longer take care of J.P. and his brother, the boys were placed in a foster home.

As a teenager with no parental guidance, J.P. fell in with the wrong crowd, joined a local gang, and struggled to pass his classes as a student at John Marshall High School in Los Angeles. One day in 11th grade, J.P.s high school teacher caught him and his friend Michelle goofing off and passing notes in class. He made them stand in front of the class while he proclaimed, See these two? Dont hang around them because theyre not going to amount to anything. Theyll absolutely never make it in any business.

J.P. may have not realized it at the time, but moments like that create our life habitssuccessful ones, yes, but also bad ones that can hold us back from reaching our full potential. J.P. could have said to himself, Ill never amount to anything. Instead he said, The hell with that guy. Ill prove him wrong.

J.P. developed his first success habit on one of his first jobs. He told me, Ive worked all my life, starting from nine years old. I had things like paper routes at eleven years old that I continued throughout high school. I even worked for a while at the local dry cleaner sweeping the floors and doing odd jobs for an owner that was so tight with money that he squeaked when he walked! I was working as hard as I possibly could for a mere $1.25 per hour. Then one day after school he called me over and said, Last night I looked behind the cabinets, and there was no dust! Then I picked up a rug, no dust! You clean this place as if Im watching you every minute! I said, You hired me to clean and my job is to do the best I can. He was so pleased he gave me a raise to a $1.50 an hour. For him to do that, it was like I won an Academy Award. And to be honest, I learned an important lesson from this period of my life. Successful people, whether theyre working for somebody else or working for themselves, do whatever they do to the best of their abilityas if the boss is watching them every minute of every day. I learned that in everything you do, always do your best.
