Jonathan Green - Breakthrough

Ever heard of free solo climbing? Its climbing without any ropes or equipment whatsoever. Its just a human being in climbing shoes with a bag of chalk on a wall. Death below.

Alex Honnold is the worlds most accomplished free solo climber, now famous for climbing El Capitana 3,200-foot sheer granite wallwithout ropes. Most spend multiple days and nights schlepping their way up El Capitan to finally reach the summit. Alex scurried up in a matter of hours.

Three hours and 56 minutes to be exact.

By some measures, if not most, this could be the greatest physical feat a human being has ever achieved.

How did he do it? He did it by existing as a singularly obsessed homeless vagabond, living out of a sweat, mildew, and ramen-scented van, near penniless, focused on one thing and one thing onlyclimbing. After 22 total years of honing his craft, with a relentless push towards meticulous perfection, he was able to comfortably and confidently shock the world.

Living in a van down by the river is the quintessential portrait of failure. Yet, most of us feel inspired about not just what Alex accomplished but also how he was able to remove the typical obstacles in life to follow his calling with little to no regard for the outcome. In the end, something extraordinary came of it.

Joe Rogan and Alex briefly discussed this on Joes podcast in late 2018:

Joe: Most people look at the path that the average person takes in life, you knowI wanna sell cars, I wanna be an insurance guyand they look at it like its death. They look at a kida young kidwhos like enjoying playing with his friends, doing sports, playing video games or reading comic books, and then you look at what could be the average path that the average person takes in lifesitting in an office all day and fluorescent lights and it looks like death. It looks like a slow, aching death. But then I look at someone like you, and Im like, Wow. This guy is living a special life.

Alex: Ideally though someone would look at it and see that this is somebody living a very intentional life or having chosen a certain path. I would love to inspire people to live an intentional life that they care about. I dont necessarily feel like people all need to go free soloing.

Living an intentional life is what Jonathan Greens book Breakthrough is all about. Jonathan lives an intentional life. He carved his own, unique path in line with his vision of paradise. His intent in writing this book is to hand you a machete and the confidence and determination you need to use it to cut through the thick jungle of nonsense that stands between your current life and the one you aspire to livethat special life that nags at you from week to week, month to month, and year to year.

Much of the book revolves around something a little more achievable than accomplishing superhuman feats of skill, strength, courage, and endurance and having movies made about you like Alex Honnold. It focuses primarily on creating passive income streams and achieving true financial security and liberation for yourself and your family as a result.

Why? Because most of us are way beyond the stage of life where we can drop everything and focus on getting really good at something for 22 years without pay! Before we can live our inspiring, intentional livescrafted to our own deep desires and visionswe must first increase our incomes, unburden ourselves from debt and decrease the number of hours of unwanted work that we have to do to as close to zero as possible.

Is such a thing possible? Yes, of course it is. And heres a big secret about achieving it: its not harder or more time-consuming or expensive to learn than any other career path. It just has to be your focus. Study it, do it, taste a little success, taste a little failure and continually refine your approach until youve got it.

It wont happen all at once. Im in my thirteenth year of pursuing 100 percent passive financial freedom. Im currently on day 78 of a 365-day trip. I still have to work two hours a day on average. Just because Im not all the way there doesnt mean I havent improved my life. Its pretty great. I havent gone to work in eight years now.

It happened for me because I made it my focus. Instead of putting my effort into becoming a lawyer, a nurse or an engineer, I chosebecause I love to travelto figure out how to come back from a trip with more money than I had when I left. Simple as that. It took me four years to get there, and it could have been just a year if I knew what I know nowand actually believed I could achieve it. I spent the first three years wondering if I could even do it! How many years have you been wondering whether or not you could do it, too? How many books and courses have you bought? Certainly this isnt the first.

But this could be and should be your last.

Because this is not just a book. What Jonathan has created is so much more. Its a workbook. A course. A complete, thorough life-overhauling program.

If you treat it as such.

My advice, after being one of the first to read it, is to immediately shift your thinking about what you just purchased.

Its not a book to be browsed through and pondered!

And its not a book. Its the book. Its the one you need. There is no need to look for others. Dedicate your all to it. Make it your Bible.

Youll need a notebook. Youll need ten to a hundredfold the amount of time and effort to complete this program than it will take you to simply read the words. Be ready for that. Dont treat it like a collection of pages.

With that attitude towards it, youll get everything you could ever dream out of Breakthrough and more. Youll be well on your way to living an intentional life and watching the slow, aching death youre currently living gradually disappear in the rearview mirror. In time, you too may be able to free solo your own El Capitan.
