They Lied!
They lied.
They said if we went to school, played by their rules, and worked hard, we would be free.
Free from Debt. Anxiety. Stress. Fear. Failure.
Free to protect the people we love, and live the life of our dreams.
But I ignored their lies.
Uncovered the secrets they did not want us to know.
Secrets that retired me at 36. Made me a millionaire at 37.
Secrets that I am going to share with you.
Secrets that will free us from them.
Who is This For?
For me. For you. For all of us.
For everyone that was told they would not make it.
For those who were told that you had to work harder; that you were not enough, not tall enough, too tall, too fat, too skinny, the wrong race, religion, gender, and/or sexuality; that you werent smart enough, went to the wrong school, took the wrong path, or it was already too late; that you were born into the wrong family, or that the horrors that happened to you should to be ignored; or worse yet, was told that you should just get over it.
Soon, you will learn to leverage all the doubt, judgement, and ridicule. You will master turning all these things to fuel. Now, it is time to ignore their rules. Let go of their lies.
Society yearns for mediocrity and demands that you fall in line. Yet like many of us, you have always marched to a different drumbeat. You knew you could do more, can do more, and will do more. Finally, its time to stop searching for answers outside of you, and honor your truth.
Listen to the lone voice of dissent buried deep within. It is your truth, screaming for your destiny.
Message to the Reader:
Life does not have to be so hard.
Nor does it have to be relentlessly exhausting.
My guess is, much like me, you are tired of the endless volumes of self-help information repeated over and over again, without producing any real results. Maybe, like the rest of us, you feel overwhelmed with the monotony of the grind, while juggling everything just to get by, and wondering everyday how you will ever reach your potential, with so many demands that barely allow you to breathe.
This makes you beg for someone to finally answer your question:
Will someone just share with me what works?
This book answers that call. It delivers the promise I once made to myself that if I found a way that works, I would share it with the world so that others would not have to suffer the same unnecessary struggle I experienced. For decades, I dreamt of sharing a clear path forward. A path to self-mastery, one that would require us all to cut out the fluff and the lies. To confront the truth and get real. To allow us all to know our true selves, and the proven paths to success.
In this book, you will discover the tools, tactics, and shortcuts that actually work. They have been tested in life-and-death situations, without the luxury of failure as an option, having spent over eight years working in hospice, watching people die. This provides a clear and raw vision of the world, one that does not harp on right and wrong or good and bad. Rather, it is one that filters through how things really are, along with the strategies that will work for anyone, anywhere, anytime. A proven process that does not care who you are, where you come from, or what your background is.
Throughout our journey together, I will share sources whenever possible. Remember, your success is the ultimate goal here, so some stories will benefit from artistic license to aid in the learning process.
My promise is as follows: I will not waste your time. Every section will have immediate actionable items, not fluff. This book is designed so that each section can stand on its own. If you take action NOW, not Someday, you will see change every step of the way, no matter where you are on your journey. Remember, Someday is not a day of the week.
This book is not a quick fix, and doesnt promise that in three easy steps, you and your life will magically change. However, if you want to walk on water, you just have to know where the rocks are.
As you continue, I will share the rocks that have served me on my path to finally becoming free.
It is not a dream. I do not have special abilities or powers; anyone can do this, and you are about to learn how.

Is This for You? Do You Have What it Takes? A FAQ
Here are some of the most common doubts, fears, and thoughts many people have before breaking free:
Do I have what it takes?
YES! From leveraging skills to creating a lifestyle where you can escape procrastination and finally gain access to your true self, you do have what it takes. How does a poor kid with a learning disability from Hialeah, Florida become a millionaire before he reaches the age of 37? How do you know exactly what you want, what your purpose is? Where can you find the answers, and who you truly are at the end of each day? How do you create lasting results? Its all here.
Does my whole life have to change because of this?
Only if you want it to. This choice belongs to you, and you can change your life, but only to the level that you want it to. My clients refer to these changes as leveling up, because theres always more to learn, to reveal, to expand, and to experience as youre ready for it. As you level up, you might be prone to resist the changes because it takes work. As with anything worthwhile, this process will challenge you and those around you. Believe it or not, people like comfort, and they love to be right. They love to feel safe and the people around you often want to keep you at your previous level, because thats familiar, thats safe. Remember, people treat you the way you let them. When you stop letting them, they will stop wanting to be with you. Hopefully, the people you love will level up with you. If they dont, hold space for them. Never stop loving them, and honor them wherever they are in this moment without judgement.
