Rate this book
Are you tired of looking in the mirror and hating the person looking back at you? Is your life not what you expected it to be?

I know because that use to be me. I was constantly haunted by the past, replaying every poor decision I made like a bad record on repeat.

Day after day, night after night.

But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be like this? What if I told you there was another way?

A way to build the life you’ve always wanted.



Most of my 20’s were a blur as I struggled with mental, emotional, and financial hardships. I would go to sleep each night hoping my life was a dream so I could wake up to something better. For eight years I struggled with depression and addiction.

I couldn’t accept myself because of my mistakes.

Then one day I got tired of hating myself and decided to do something about it.



Many people fear it’s too late to turn their life around because the hole they’re stuck in is too deep. I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late. I know because I was able to turn my life around and I’ll share my formula with you.





• Turn your pain into strength and failures into wins.
•Change any bad outcome using this simple mind trick.
• Develop internal happiness that leads to external confidence.
•You are your greatest asset. Invest in yourself for the best return possible.


• Spark change with this four letter word.
•Use your story to inspire and uplift others.
• Unlike the potential you’ve always known you had.
•Once you’ve rebuilt your life, understand how to maintain it.



This book goes deep into my personal history where I share my challenges and the actionable changes I made to become the successful person I am today. It starts with setting the proper mindset and approach , then goes into how to taking action , and finally building better habits to set yourself up for future success.
