Say ‘I Do’ To Greatness: 10 Steps For Locating Inspiration, Finding Your Passion And Establishing Your Influence

Greatness is the mandate of all God’s children. Sadly, many of us allow the woes of the world to cloud this truth. I was once one of these individuals.

It wasn’t until my beloved aunt, on her deathbed, spoke words into my life that changed the trajectory of my path. From that day forward, I have taken back my power, rekindled my passions and shared my influence with the world. I said I do to the greatness that has always been apart of me. I’ll show you how you can to.

Becoming Limitless: How to hack your motivation, focus, passion, and drive to live the life you deserve

Learn to master a whole new frame of mind to increase your focus, motivation, drive, and career with biohacking! Ever wonder why that one overly-motivated friend of yours is always so successful at making money? Some people just have everything they need in the mental department, but what about the rest of us? We have all seen the movie starring Bradley Cooper. Unfortunately, there is no magic tablet that will bring you instant success, but there are things you can do to trick your body into that mindset and honestly feel like you have never felt before! As a health and fitness enthusiast, I have tried a lot of medications and supplements in the past, but it wasn’t until I started using biohacking to literally hack my biology and mind into, truly, becoming limitless in all areas of my life. I became super motivated and driven. I started making more money as a forex trader after experiencing a huge increase in my passion and focus. Over the past couple years I’ve learned a TON and this book brings it all together for me to share with you! You will learn to use diet, exercise, sleep, habit formation techniques, supplementation, nootropics, and a few helpful life and biology hacks with the ultimate goal to make you more productive in your work and life. 

The following is a quote of a text I received from a fellow trading buddy of mine: 

“Dude I want to learn about a better way to make my mind and body function more harmoniously. I feel like I have all these ambitions and aspirations, but the way to get there is cloudy. I feel so unmotivated many times to do the work I know I need to do.” 

-Anonymous 

This quote fits perfectly with what I am trying to accomplish by providing you with this wealth of knowledge. After only a month he was seeing his hard work pay off and finally controlling the mental side of why he was failing over and over again. 

This book covers the following: 
-Using a low carbohydrate/low sugar diet to change how your body and mind function 
-How to work an easy exercise and sleep routine into your overall daily schedule 
-HABIT FORMATION and how to stick with the new habits you’ve made for yourself! 
-Daily vitamin and mineral supplementation specifically for improving the mind 
-Finally conquering issues like ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, and Hormone Imbalances 
-NOOTROPICS along with how and when to properly use them 
-SIMPLE and CHEAP lifestyle hacks to make the whole process a bit easier 

Most self-help books out there never address the biological issues involved in bettering your life. Unfortunately, positive affirmations and the “Law Of Attraction” won’t get you very far. Your personal biology and the chemicals in your head are 90% of what is stopping you from changing your life. 

This book covers topics that can help you to become a machine at accomplishing tasks and improving your overall “work/life balance”, but the part most people struggle with is the formation of new habits and not giving up. This is why I have tailored each chapter with that goal in mind and we address why people give up and how you can get around the mental struggles of a new routine. 

If you have seen the movies out there and think it’s impossible to become that advanced of a human being, you’re wrong. I can’t promise you will master the stock market in a day or learn a new language in a week, but this book will give you the tools and the motivation to at least want to try! Learn why it has been so difficult for you and finally get to where you want to be and have it finally “click”! 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 
My name is Matt. I’m a 28 year old foreign exchange trader and entrepreneur. My background is in chemistry and pharmaceutical manufacturing and development, but a few years out of college I began following the global markets and fell in love! I struggled for years with getting my mind right to be self-employed and this book is the culmination of everything I have learned thus far.

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.”

Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Duckworth, now a celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not “genius” but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.

In Grit, she takes readers into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.

Among Grit’s most valuable insights:

*Why any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal
*How grit can be learned, regardless of I.Q. or circumstances
*How lifelong interest is triggered
*How much of optimal practice is suffering and how much ecstasy
*Which is better for your child—a warm embrace or high standards
*The magic of the Hard Thing Rule

Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference.

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

In this must-listen book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and businesspeople – both seasoned and new – that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called “grit”.

Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur “genius” Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial, such as identifying our passions and following through on our commitments.

Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently bemoaned her lack of smarts, Duckworth describes her winding path through teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not genius but a special blend of passion and long-term perseverance. As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own “character lab” and set out to test her theory.

Here, she takes listeners into the field to visit teachers working in some of the toughest schools, cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers – from J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to the cartoon editor of The New Yorker to Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.

Winningly personal, insightful, and even life changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down and how that – not talent or luck – makes all the difference.
