The Power of Taking the Plunge: Journey to Your Dreamlife by Unlearning What You've Learned

If you were subjected to the same type of education system that I was, you've realized that you were taught what to think and not how to think. You may have been told that having a high, three digit IQ score is a must to be a success in life, or that you have to have a high SAT or ACT score to be able to get into the best colleges and universities that will ultimately propel you to the top. Ask anyone who has reached the top as an entrepreneur, CEO, artist, or any other vocation if having their MBA or even a PhD was the main factor for their success. What would be their answer? I'm sure that none of whom you would happen to ask that question to would totally discard education as a factor, but it certainly wouldn't be the top reason for success. Neuroscience and well-documented research have concluded that EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is the best indicator of success in most career fields, and that IQ is only a small factor. Besides, intelligence is what intelligence measures. All of us have genius potential, especially when we are in a vocation that we absolutely love and are gifted in performing. We can acquire a lot of generalized and specific knowledge throughout our lifetime, but we eventually come to an awareness and conclusion that there's a big difference between knowing what to do and doing what you know. This book will help you to learn, unlearn, and relearn the steps it will take to redefine your life and reach your full potential. Success is measured by you and you alone. It's not measured in comparison to what others have accomplished. You have what it takes to enjoy a life of fulfillment. The real question is whether you have the desire and discipline to take action. The fundamental truth is that we are either climbing or sliding. You are getting better or worse. The self-help industry makes billions of dollars each year. It's flooded with books and programs. I should know because I've spent a small fortune reading them since 1985. Many are great because they feed your mind with correct principles. This book could very well be your catalyst to greatness. But, it shouldn't be the last one you read. Although it is practical and an easy read, you should never stop feeding that wonderful brain that God specifically designed for you. You become the sum total of your thoughts, and continual growth is essential. The challenge for many is that they get the wrong mental nutrients. What you regularly put into your mind is crucial. Jim Rohn said, "If you work hard on your job you can make a living, but if you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune." Continually building your character and the power of critical thinking is the answer and the secret to the wonderful life you were designed to have. George Bernard Shaw said, "Two percent of people think, three percent think they think, and ninety-five percent would rather die than think." The Power of Taking the Plunge reveals success principles supported by the ageless wisdom of the Scriptures and by the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience. It will help you to discover "you"! You are uniquely designed for a purpose. Reading this book may be the motivation you need to a fulfilled life. I'm not discarding that your life can and most likely will be messy at times. So, what! As long as you begin with a sound, moral foundation and integrity becomes your highest value, get started and take the plunge. I personally have my Masters degree in "Failure" which has led, and is leading, to my PhD in "Results." As long as we have breath, God expects us to never stop. This is not a "fad" book; it is a "fact" book. The time-tested principles for success are applicable whether you are a CEO, business manager, teacher, computer programmer, pastor, sales executive, parent, athlete, or student. It is for those who have never succeeded or have reached many levels of success and want more of the greatness life has to offer.
