Michael Priv shares a fair and honest take on how our actions shape our success.
In Make It Happen, the way he talks about ethics really struck a chord with me. He says ethics is like the strong metal that holds our intentions together. That made so much sense. I’ve learned that when I go against my own values—even in small ways—it leaves me feeling off, like I’m dragging extra weight.After reading this book, you might find yourself making choices that truly feel right in your gut—even if they’re not the easiest. Imagine a moment when you stayed silent while someone else got blamed for something you saw happen. It probably bothered you for days. But with the lessons from this book, you’ll feel encouraged to speak up the next time—and when you do, it’ll feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Priv helps you see that real success isn’t just about hitting your goals—it’s also about the way you walk the path. If you're ready to move forward with a clear heart and stronger sense of self, this book is a must-read.

Michael Priv turns common advice on its head and gives it to you straight. As a parent of three kids, my days often feel like a whirlwind—school drop-offs, snacks, tantrums, and somehow still trying to chase my own goals. Make It Happen gave me tools I could actually use without feeling overwhelmed. Priv’s suggestions, like weekly planning and blocking out focused time, helped me take back some control. I started tracking small wins—like finishing a task without interruption—and suddenly, progress didn’t feel so out of reach. His reminder to say “no” to things that don’t serve my purpose really hit home. As a parent, it’s easy to say yes to everything and lose yourself in the process. This book reminded me that staying aligned isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. If your life feels like a constant juggling act, this book is like a breath of fresh air. It’s helped me refocus—and finally move forward.

An essential read for anyone wanting to grasp the real mechanics of clear thinking and calm decision-making, Make It Happen by Michael Priv opened my eyes in ways I didn’t expect. As a parent of three, my days are a constant puzzle—one problem after another. What stood out to me in this book is how Priv redefines problems: not as roadblocks, but as energy disruptions. That perspective alone helped me stop reacting emotionally and start asking, “What’s really going on here?” His approach to isolating the root issue instead of scrambling around the symptoms has been a total game-changer in how I manage both parenting challenges and personal goals. With practical tips on pattern recognition and intentional decision-making, this book helped me stop wasting time and start solving smarter. If you’re tired of running in circles and want real tools to handle life better, this one’s worth every page.

Michael Priv’s approach is truly one-of-a-kind—fresh, practical, and exactly what so many of us need right now. In Make It Happen, he cuts through the noise and gets real about what it takes to build a meaningful life. This isn’t about chasing perfection; it’s about showing up every day with honesty, discipline, and clarity.
Priv emphasizes the power of living with integrity and how even small acts—like 10 minutes of mindfulness—can clear your head and keep you grounded. His message? You don’t need to wait for motivation. Just take action. Little by little, it adds up.
I loved how down-to-earth and relatable his advice was. It’s not wrapped in fluff—it’s direct, inspiring, and empowering.
If you’re serious about creating real change and want a no-nonsense guide that actually works, I highly recommend Make It Happen. It’s a breath of fresh air in a sea of overcomplicated self-help books.

This book is both eye-opening and deeply motivating—it gives you that “aha” moment and the push you didn’t know you needed. In Make It Happen, Michael Priv zooms in on something many of us overlook: the power of certainty. While knowledge is useful, Priv makes a compelling case that it’s certainty—that deep, unshakable inner knowing—that truly drives action.
I found myself nodding along as he dismantled the trap of “maybe” thinking. His stories, like the hilarious soup-or-salad dilemma and the wise rabbi’s advice, hit close to home. It’s amazing how clearly he connects everyday hesitation to the big roadblocks in our lives.
What I loved most is how practical this chapter is—complete with a guided certainty meditation that I’ll definitely be using. If you’ve been spinning your wheels, second-guessing every decision, this book is for you. I highly recommend Make It Happen to anyone ready to step up and move forward with purpose.

An honest and compelling take on what really holds us back, this book delivers more than just motivational talk—it digs deep. In one of the most powerful chapters, Michael Priv offers an eye-opening look at how hidden ethical lapses quietly sabotage our goals. He doesn’t preach from a high horse. Instead, he speaks to that part of us that knows when we’ve crossed our own moral line—even in small ways.
Priv calls ethics the “secret saboteur,” and wow, does that land. When you lie, cheat, or cut corners—even just a little—you chip away at your own self-trust. You start second-guessing yourself, losing focus, and falling into self-sabotage without realizing why.
Thankfully, he doesn’t leave you hanging. His 8-step cleanup plan is bold, practical, and surprisingly freeing. If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start living with clarity and confidence, Make It Happen is a must-read. Highly recommended!

A truly eye-opening look at how past emotional wounds quietly hold us back, Michael Priv’s Make It Happen dives into the hidden psychological blocks that keep us stuck. He challenges the usual psychiatric approach, arguing that true healing comes from treating the spirit, not just the symptoms. Priv invites us to see ourselves as spiritual beings, capable of transforming our energy and thoughts through meditation.
The meditation techniques he shares are simple but powerful—breathing exercises, focused mantras, and visualization—that clear the mental fog caused by unhealed pain. For those less into meditation, he offers an emotional release process that’s practical and profound.
This chapter reminds us that healing old wounds is not just self-care—it’s the foundation for real progress and success. If you want to break free from the past and step fully into your power, Make It Happen is a must-read. Highly recommended!

This book was just what I needed—it brought a fresh sense of clarity and encouragement that made tackling life’s challenges feel possible. Michael Priv breaks down problem-solving as a skill anyone can learn and master, not some elusive talent reserved for the lucky few. He contrasts two types of people—one who faces problems head-on with practical steps, and one who freezes in overwhelm—and shows how developing this skill changes everything.
Priv’s clear explanation of what a problem really is—as a disruption to your flow—helps shift your mindset from frustration to action. The way he encourages taking even small steps right away is empowering and relatable. If you’re tired of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this book offers practical guidance to gain confidence and keep moving forward. I highly recommend Make It Happen to anyone ready to build real problem-solving muscle and create momentum in their life.

The conclusion of Make It Happen caught me off guard—but in the best way possible. It tied everything together with clarity and heart, leaving me nodding in full agreement. Michael Priv has a real gift for turning everyday struggles into powerful lessons.
One chapter that really struck a chord explores a common goal: wanting your spouse to change so the fighting stops. At first glance, it sounds fair. But Priv pulls back the curtain and reveals how ego and control often hide behind that desire. He asks the tough questions—Are you trying to be right, or are you trying to love better?—and helps readers reframe the goal into something that fosters connection, not conflict.
His message? Real change starts within. When we shift from controlling others to contributing with love and empathy, that’s when healing begins. If you're serious about growth—personally or in your relationships—Make It Happen is an absolute must-read.

I closed Make It Happen with a full heart and a big smile—it’s the kind of book that makes you feel truly seen, understood, and uplifted. Michael Priv doesn’t just dish out the usual self-help advice—he digs deep into the stuff most people tiptoe around. One section, in particular, struck a nerve. He talks about those quiet compromises we make—the little lapses we excuse with “it’s no big deal”—and how they slowly erode our self-respect and block our progress without us even realizing it.
What I appreciate most is how Priv delivers these truths—with honesty, but also with compassion. He doesn’t scold or shame. Instead, he invites you to be more aware, more honest, and more intentional. It’s like a gentle wake-up call for your soul.
If you’re serious about meaningful, lasting growth, Make It Happen is the book that will get you moving in the right direction. I highly recommend it.

This book has seriously raised the bar for me—I’ll be sizing up everything I read next against Make It Happen by Michael Priv. From page one, it pulls you in with a message that hits home: without strong, clear intention, nothing in life moves. Chapter 1, “The Missing Ingredient: Strong, Clear Intention,” doesn’t sugarcoat it. Priv breaks it down in a way that’s sharp, funny, and incredibly relatable.
He uses everyday examples—like a lion half-heartedly chasing a zebra—to show that even natural talent or potential is wasted without real commitment. It’s a wake-up call for anyone who’s been drifting, hoping, or planning without really locking in.
What I love most is how Priv turns abstract ideas into practical insight. His words stick, and they make you want to get serious about what you truly want. If you’ve been looking for a self-help book that speaks truth with heart and humor—this one’s it. Highly recommended!

This book reminded me why I fell in love with reading in the first place. Make It Happen by Michael Priv reignited my passion for stories that challenge, inspire, and make you pause to reflect—and I’m already itching to dive into another book.
In this chapter, Priv zeroes in on why intention collapses, and wow—does he hit the nail on the head! He breaks it down into bite-sized truths: vague goals, inner conflict, and misalignment with our core purpose are what keep us spinning in circles. His examples are sharp and painfully accurate. We've all said things like “I want success,” but without clarity or commitment, it’s like pressing the gas while the parking brake’s still on.
His writing style is raw, witty, and refreshingly honest. He doesn’t coddle, he clarifies. If you're looking for a self-help book that cuts through the noise and gets straight to what matters—this one's a gem. Highly recommended!

The topics covered here feel incredibly timely and relevant. Make It Happen by Michael Priv doesn’t just inspire—it opens your eyes. Chapter 9 especially stood out for me, shining a light on something we all face daily: problems. But instead of treating problems like insurmountable walls, Priv shows us they’re just puzzles we can learn to solve.
I love how he breaks it down—problem-solving isn’t some innate gift; it’s a skill anyone can build, just like learning to swim or cook. The contrast between Matt and George made it so relatable. One takes action, the other freezes. It’s not about being lucky—it’s about training your mind to respond differently.
Priv’s practical approach and clear language are refreshing. This isn’t fluff—it’s real, actionable wisdom wrapped in an encouraging tone.
If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed in any area of life, this book is the nudge you need. I highly recommend it.

A powerful look into what makes our goals really stick or slip away.
Reading Make It Happen by Michael Priv made me think a lot about how we set our intentions in real life. He explains that strong intention is like a laser beam—focused, clear, and unshakable. That really made sense to me because I’ve seen how when I’m unsure or distracted, I don’t get far. Weak intentions feel like fog—confusing and full of doubts—and they just slow you down. The way Priv describes this helped me realize why I sometimes procrastinate or give up. It’s not just laziness; it’s about how strong my mind is on the goal. This book taught me to be sharper and more honest with myself about what I really want. If you want to get serious about your dreams, this book is a great guide. I’d recommend it to anyone tired of feeling stuck and ready to focus.

This book is easy to follow and full of helpful insights that stick with you. Make It Happen by Michael Priv really opened my eyes about purpose. He says that purpose is the fuel that keeps us going, and wow—that hit me hard. I used to start things strong but lose motivation fast. After reading this, I realized I didn’t really know why I wanted those things. Priv helped me dig deeper, and I found my real reason—it wasn’t just about me, but also how I could help others. That changed everything. For example, I used to struggle with keeping up my small online shop. But when I thought about how my work helps people feel good about themselves, it gave me new energy. Now I wake up with more drive. This book made a real difference in my life. If you’ve ever felt lost or stuck, I truly recommend it. It helps you find your “why”—and that’s everything.

Michael Priv gives a fair and eye-opening view on how being truly present can change everything.
In Make It Happen, he explains that presence isn’t just about sitting still—it’s about being fully awake and alive in the moment. That really hit home for me. I realized I was often stuck in the past or too busy worrying about the future. After reading this book, I started practicing being more present, even in simple things like talking to my family or working on a task. One moment that stands out: I used to check my phone during conversations without thinking. Now, I pause, listen, and stay in the moment—and honestly, my relationships feel deeper and more real. Priv calls presence our “true power source,” and I feel that now. If you feel like life is passing you by, this book can help you slow down, tune in, and truly live. I highly recommend it.

The way Michael Priv breaks down complex ideas into simple, relatable language makes Make It Happen such an easy and inspiring read—even for someone like me, a parent juggling three kids and a never-ending to-do list.

It helped me realign my own ambitions—not just for myself, but for my family and the example I want to set. This book has helped me cut the noise, find clarity, and stay grounded in what really matters. If you’re feeling lost in the hustle, this book offers the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.
