FOREWORD BY BEN ANGEL
Marketing Expert and Bestselling Author
W hat do peak performers do that I don t? If the strategies of the ultra-successful are so great, then why do I fall short when I apply them?
If you ve ever asked yourself these questions, know that you re not alone. I myself have learned over the years that the science of success isn t as black and white as the self-help gurus have led us to believe. They tell us to quit making excuses but fail to break down why we make excuses based on a deep understanding of not just psychology, but the science of success as a whole.
For years, I beat myself up wondering why I couldn t reach my goals sooner, if at all. It s only recently that I ve been able to look beneath the surface and gain new insight as to why we do what we do and why some strategies work for some and fail miserably for others.
To find the answers to these questions, I traveled from Australia to the U.S. and Canada to interview top neuroscientists, biohackers, functional doctors, and psychologists to gain a comprehensive and complete understanding of the essence of the science of success. What I learned shocked me. Success cannot be distilled down into any one simple strategy like waking up at 5 A.M. each day or making your bed every morning. Instead, it s made up of a combination of strategies that only when applied in unison provide the catalyst for real breakthroughs to occur across every area of our businesses and lives.
You have likely compared yourself to your heroes to only ever feel like you come up short, you re not as productive as you d like to be, you re easily overwhelmed, or you lack the structure to pull off your most ambitious goals. We ve all been there. But you can get past questioning yourself and get to a place where you feel that success is not only possible, but probable. The bottom line is this: To unlock your capacity, you have to try many different keys until you find the ones that click for you. What works for a billionaire, you, or me is as individual as a finger-print and must be treated as such.
But where do you start? Step one is in your hands.
Entrepreneur Voices on the Science of Success is a must-read book for anyone looking to re-energize themselves, increase their productivity, boost their confidence and rapidly transform their business. It presents science-backed research that you can easily experiment with and habits you can add to your routine-all without wasting hours reading about it online.
The strategies
