Over time, I have come to understand that what happens between making the plan and arriving at the outcome is best described by the iceberg analogy – achieving a goal is just the tip of the iceberg.

I struggled for some time with my perception of success as well as my interpretation of what winning meant. I came from a background where ‘beginning with the end in mind’ – one of the tenets of the seven habits – was a way of life and part of an overwhelming focus on achievement. With this approach, everything was about the results (the what) with less emphasis on the journey (the how).

As a team leader with several years of management and leadership experience under my belt, I have learned first-hand that these things makes the most difference for success. These principles have worked for me and now I want to share them with people who have walked in the same shoes and help them raise the bar on what they can do.

In writing this book, I break the method down into simple, practical steps that are an easy-to-follow blueprint for success.

This approach cuts across all age brackets and these simple principles have been applied by many phenomenal individuals to drive them to win in the game of life. I have tested these systems and methods with over a hundred people who have had similar struggles to my own. These volunteers gave valuable feedback which I have incorporated into the frameworks you will see.

With these tools, you will be able to disrupt your existing methods as you establish complementary building blocks to amplify your efforts towards your goals.
