ONE: INTRODUCTION

Success isn’t an accident. There’s a very predictable path to success and achievement. It’s been proven over and over again. There’s a proven process for massive achievement. That’s what this book is about. The predictable path to success and achievement so you can do it too. You can look at it like a recipe. If you follow the directions, you’ll see results. Whether you want to make changes in your life, accomplish something, or reach a particular goal, there’s a proven formula to do it. That’s what this book is about—a predictable path to achievement so you can accomplish what you want in life.

Before I get started, let me tell you who I am. I’m an author and the host of the Christopher Scott Show Podcast, which airs daily. On my podcast, I talk about politics, current events and issues affecting our country. When I started the podcast, I struggled with the idea of doing a personal development podcast. It’s an area I’ve always had a passion for because I believe in personal responsibility and hard work. Those are two important principles of mine.

I’ve always been a reader and listener of motivational and personal development information. I’ve also lived through a few transformative experiences in my life. Because of that knowledge and experience, I started dedicating part of the podcast to the subject of personal development. Occasionally, I have even skipped the usual news and politics format for an entire podcast and focus on personal development.

The response is always amazing. I get flooded with e-mails from listeners, and those podcasts on personal development have been some of the most popular podcasts I have done. I realized it was something people wanted to hear. That’s why I’ve decided to share this knowledge with as many people as I can.

These are the same methods used every day for massive achievement by thousands of people. I was lucky enough to learn and experience the impact of these methods several times in my life. It’s an incredible gift, and now it’s my goal to share it with as many of you as possible so that you can take advantage of these valuable insights. It might be the most valuable information you’ll ever receive. I’d like to take credit for it, but the fact is that I didn’t create it at all. It’s a culmination of information, training and life experiences. I feel fortunate to be able to put it all together for you.

This is life-changing information, so pay careful attention. If you find yourself wanting to take notes, which you probably will, you’ll probably find it best to read all the way through first. That way you can take in all the information and then go back as many times as you need to in order to pick up the details. At the end, there will be a special bonus for you. It’s an audio book called Unusual Advice for an Extraordinary Life. You can get the links for the free download at the end of the book. You don’t want to miss that. It’s life changing advice, but don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself. It’s completely free.

I believe that the information that I will be giving you in this book will be best advice you’ll ever get. It defines the process you need for success and fulfillment in every area of your life. It’s one thing to be successful, but it’s another thing to enjoy it. There are many people who appear successful to others but are not necessarily happy. What good is it to be successful and miserable? Lack of content is a primary frustration today. It doesn’t have to be that way. The key to fixing that is growth and accomplishment. When you are making progress in the areas you desire, you’ll experience fulfillment in your life. That’s the key, making progress, achieving what you want. I’ll share with you the method you can use for achieving success and finding fulfillment.

Here’s another reason why this is so important. You know the saying, Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for life. When you understand the process for success and achievement, you’ll have the confidence you can do it over and over again. That’s an amazing gift.

Before I get into the meat of this, I want to give you a bit of caution. This isn’t for everybody. This isn’t a shortcut or a trick, and it’s not easy. Anything worthwhile takes work, but you already know that. What I will give you is a way to fast-track your effort to achieve results in the shortest amount of time possible. But it takes effort. If you’re not willing to put in the effort, this isn’t for you.

You’ve taken an important step in getting this book. I remember the first personal development audio book I ever listened to over 30 years ago. It was called Lead the Field. It was created by Earl Nightingale. I didn’t even know what personal development was! I also had no idea that I was listening to a broadcast and personal development icon. I just had a desire to get ahead. That audio triggered something in me that remains with me today. I hope to share that same gift with you.

Let’s get started.

TWO: THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS—YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACTION

Nothing you want to accomplish in your life is ever going to happen unless you take action to make it happen. You can read it, you can believe it, and you can dream it, but if you don’t take the steps to make it happen it won’t. You’ll never get anywhere without taking action. You will be met with obstacles, and you will make mistakes, but this is part of the process we call success. As a matter of fact, dealing with failure is an extremely important part of the success process, and I’ll talk about that later. The first important point is that positive changes, success and achievement are a process, not an event. It’s important to recognize that.

You need to take steps every single day that are contributing to your goal. Even if the steps you take are small steps, you have to keep moving forward in a definitive direction. Constant forward motion should be your mantra. That means making a commitment to do the things that are necessary for your success. All the steps are laid out in this book, but you have to do the work or the steps are useless.

Preservation and Risk

Every person, every individual, has a basic instinctual desire to survive. Basic survival is in our DNA, and it’s that self-preservation that keeps us alive, but it’s that same desire for self- preservation that also makes us fearful of taking the risks needed to be successful.

A lot of us—I think most of us—go through life with our heads in the sand. We are afraid and live in fear, never really imagining what we could do, what we could be and what we could accomplish. Instead, we play it safe. Basic survival is a natural instinct. On some level, we just want to survive; we just want to get by. Of course, survival is key, so there’s a reason it’s a natural instinct that we all have. On some level, though, we have to resist that instinct, because it’s also a curse that robs us of our potential. If surviving is our only goal, we will miss out on a whole level of opportunity.

What if we looked beyond just survival and just getting by? Have you ever considered how you could thrive? How about survive and thrive? Why does it have to be one or the other? Maybe you don’t want to believe this, but the answer to the question of whether to survive or to thrive is a lot simpler than you think. The simple answer is do both! It takes hard work, but it’s possible to survive and thrive and be content at the same
