Everyone wants to achieve.

We all want to be good at something.

Some of us want to become good at a lot of things.

It is the mental state that allows you to accomplish your goals and live your life to your fullest ability and capacity. The definition of success is purely individual and measured by you.

How do you define success? If you don't already have a clear answer to that question, you will by the time you are done reading this book.

When you gain clarity about where you want to go and you change a few flawed persistent thoughts that many people hold onto and make a few steps in the right direction amazing things can happen.
