Unlock Your Potential: The Ultimate Guide for Creating Your Dream Life in the Modern World

In summary... This book, when read and taken action upon, will help transform the way current and future generations live life on their own terms and achieve greatness. Not only as entrepreneurs but in all forms of business. There are a lot of books and other resources on reaching one's potential, how to become an entrepreneur, how to be successful in business, how to become self-aware, and etcetera. The difference I found with this particular book is how organized this book is in the aspects one should look at when choosing a lifestyle of entrepreneurialism. I have had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Jeff and his wonderful family recently. I have been able to witness first hand how this man operates. He is one of the most hard working, passionate, empathetic, and realistic people I have met. He leads by example and sets the example for others to follow. In today's educational and economic environment that says a lot. Jeff, Thank you for sharing this wisdom with the world! For the price of a movie, some snacks, and drinks that you only get to enjoy for one evening, you could buy this book and get yourself started on a path to success that would allow you to enjoy multiple evenings with family and friends doing whatever you want, however you want, and whenever you want to do them. How much more value to you is that than a single night of enjoyment that will soon be forgotten? Sure, the entrepreneurial lifestyle is not for the faint of heart. It takes guts, stamina, the right mindset, and a lot of hard work to make things happen. The benefits however, far outweigh the discomforts. That said, if you truly want to transform your life and become the person you know you can be, this book could very well be one of the best investments you make in yourself to get started on the path to your own successes in life. Don't follow your dreams. Chase them and make them your reality!

Jeff Lerner is the real deal! This book is the next step in his quest to make a difference in "normal" people's lives. His story is inspirational. But this book isn't about his story, it's about you making your own best story. He helps one to become the best version of themselves. He doesn't give you a cookie cutter path to success (many of which never work the way "they" tell you it will). Rather, he helps you to discover what you really want and then gives you ways to achieve that. His approach focuses on the Foundations (the 3 P's = Physical, Personal and Professional -- and those then lead you to the unspoken 4th P = Purpose) of Success. I won't bore you with all of the details. Just get this book and begin your journey!

I agree with the former head coach of the University of Texas football team. I also believe that although someone else -- such as Royal, Jeff Lerner, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, a family member or friend) may be able to provide you with a "key," only you can "unlock" and then fulfill whatever your potential may be. Why did Lerner write this book? "This is really three books in one -- an autobiography of a high school drop-out turned jazz musician turned new-economy millionaire, a how-to/self-help book for YOU to create your own incredible story, and a full-scale manifesto that calls each of us to boldly step into a future that is being rewritten faster than most of us realize. Ultimately, this book is intended to do one thing -- help millions of people escape a clearly broken system and achieve their full potential and their best, happiest life." The best self-help resources can indeed help to accelerate personal growth and professional development. The best of them activate and nourish self-motivation. No question about that. Having a compelling vision can help achieve so much that would otherwise seem impossible. However, always keep Thomas Edison's insight in mind: "Vision without execution is hallucination." These are among the passages that caught my eye: o Lerner's entrepreneurial initiatives thus far (14-18) o Purpose-driven personal and professional development (43-46) o A candid self-assessment (54-56) o A covey of steps to peak performance (60-69) o Convertibg serious problems into "conquerable challenges" (99-106) o Marshall Rosenberg's four-step process for collaborative communication (108-111) o The "Three Ps of Success" (125-134) o SMART goal-setting (138-140) o Hal Elrod's SAVERS methodology (153-155) o Eliminating procrastination (169-171) o Preparations for a "new future" (179-188) o "The Seven Types of Leverage (216-227) o Lessons to be learned from failure (261-265) o "How Interest Rates Are Supposed to Work" (275-277) o Lerner's thoughts about real estate: "The oldest and most wealth-creating asset class" (319-333) Obviously, no brief commentary such as mine can possibly do full justice to the value of the information, insights, and counsel that Jeff Lerner provides in Unlock Your Potential. Equally obvious, it would be a fool's errand for each reader to attempt to adopt and adapt all of the book's material. That said, it remains for each reader to work their way through the narrative and-- in  process -- begin to formulate a set of (let's say) 3-5 specific goals that are ambitious but achievable. Then identify some preliminary needs and those sources that can be most helpful when filling them. Make haste slowly. Here are a few suggestions to widen and deepen the impact of reading and then re-reading this book. First, highlight the...

I have known Jeff for 5+ years now. He is as genuine and selfless as they come. Now, to the book. I got an advanced copy and it is PACKED with incredible real world stories and examples.
