"When we are stagnant, confused or not moving in any direction, our Prey Drive is deactivated."
Definitely a sign, I needed to read this book! Excellent job by Coach Michael Burt, a motivator of the soul. I was given this copy and studied it thoroughly for inspiration and prioritized my goals. We have a mindset that sometimes needs to be put to action. "Flip the Switch" isn't just for you to succeed and make money, but to help break mental barriers to achieve your highest potential. We all need motivation when we are trudging through daily habits.
The "Prey Drive" was interestingly coined from the Vietnam war dogs and how they would seek their prey. We also have an instinctive drive and a unique talent to be a contender in this world.
"Whatever lights your fire!" I love the quotes at the beginning of each chapter.
"If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary." Jim Rohn
I have written a novel and have been sitting on it, so this came at a perfect time to activate my motivation factor and put it to action. He mentions some of our main barriers and drivers: fear, competition, exposure, environment, inspiration from others and even embarrassment. Each chapter will inspire you to do your best.
Thank you, Coach Michael Burt. You have been a driving force for many. Also, a special thanks to my sweet friend Christie Fields for putting this gem in my hand.
