Page 8 - Be Unstoppable

got here. This journey was marked with challenges. I survived a car crash when I was 16 only to discover that 30 or so minutes of unconsciousness would change my life trajectory.
But without that experience, I would not be where I
am today. I have an amazing wife and two daughters who have taught me what it means to give and get true love. I had the honor of serving our country alongside soldiers who taught me what teamwork means. I’ve built a business with the help of others who mentored me, supported me, and occasionally gave me a much- needed reality check and empowered me to ultimately serve THEM on a mission to change lives.
The lessons I’ve learned since the moment I woke up in the hospital more than 30 years ago have led me to build core values that have driven my decisions. This insight has also helped me to identify that I have lived according to a formula that continues to give me predictable, successful results. And to Be Unstoppable.
And THAT is the premise of this book. You shouldn’t live life randomly or you’ll be relying on luck. And remember that luck comes in two sizes: good and bad. Without planning, you’re moving forward with all the certainty of winning the lottery.
I looked at my own Life Equation. m (T) = f (P2 + t + s + a)
For those of you who squirm at the sight of a mathematical formula, this one simply states:
A motivated team is the function of passionate people (P2), who are consistently trained (t),
armed with a detailed and resourced strategy (s)
that holds one another accountable (a).
My goal with this book is not to hand off an equation that works for me, but to inspire you to be purposeful with your choices. I will guide you through my formula while also giving you ideas for changing the factors to fit your goals, lifestyle, and passion. I’ll share with you some experiences—both my own and those of people who have influenced me—that have directed and redirected pathways to success.
