Be Obsessed or Be Average

Obsession saved my life and made me a business superstar. What can it do for you? Before I built five companies, became a multimillionaire, and wrote bestselling books, I was broke, jobless, and drug-addicted. I’d spend my first twenty-five years listening to family and friends who told me that average is good enough. Who told me to be more reasonable, less demanding. Who told me to play by everyone else’s rules and maybe, with a little luck, enjoy everyone else’s version of middle-class success. So I tried to forget my childhood obsessions–to become a real estate magnate, live in a mansion, drive awesome cars, maybe even own my own airplane. And as a result of trying to be more realistic…I sank from average to absolute rock bottom Then I tried the opposite approach. I said NO to the haters and naysayers. I said YES to my burning, outrageous, animal obsession. And it worked beyond my wildest dreams. Here’s why it worked and why I believe it will work for you: When you give yourself permission to be powered by obesssion, you don’t worry about job security or performance reviews. You don’t care what anyone else thinks, including your boss (if you have one) or your family. You build your life around your deepest passion, and suddenly the concept of “work-life balance” vanishes. Your work IS your play. You jump out of bed every day because you WANT TO. You crush the competition by promising more, and impressing the hell out of everyone. With this book, my goal is to help you shake off your distractions, doubts, and decades of bad advice. I’ll teach you the tools I’ve discovered to put my obsession to work for me. And I’ll show you why it’s smart to be as insatiable and hyperobsessed as I am–regardless of where you come from, what your family is like, or what your crazy, big dream is. A lot of books tell you to follow your heart and live your dreams, but without any practical advice. Others tell you to seek balance and happiness instead of success. I’m calling BS on all of that. I will jolt you out of your cocoon of mediocrity and empower you to unleash new stores of energy. I will show you how to become completely and unapologetically obsessed with your obsessions. If you’re ready to be more focused, creative, powerful, and happy than you ever imagined, open the book and let’s get started. Be obsessed or be average. It’s your choice.
