I dedicate this book to my children, who remind me every day the importance of not giving up, and a reason to find the greatness in me, and not allowing the opinions of others dictate who I am, and who I will be. Last but not least, I dedicate this book to my life partner who reminds me every day of the importance of staying focused, who gives me a reason to believe that I am capable of achieving the unimaginable. I love you all dearly. I am thankful for my mom and dad for shaping me into the person I am today. I am eternally grateful.

This book is a collaboration with my academic colleague and brother Dr. Sergio Montolio who I admire and has been a sounding board full of focus and passion for various projects that will soon come alive. I dedicate this book to every person that wants to make their dreams a reality and needs the self-confidence to achieve it. As the late Walt Disney used to say, If you can dream it, you can do it! and If your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough! So, dream big!

Acknowledgments

Sergio: I would like to acknowledge my colleague, Dr. Shari Merlano for Co-authoring this book, and for always believing in me and encouraging me to write this book.

Shari: At first, this was supposed to be a solo project by Sergio Montolio until one night in October 2019, when I received a call from him at 11:30 at night saying he would like for me to add and co-write this book with him. I could not say no and leapt into this project. This is his mastermind and I am blessed that he thought of me to make such a contribution. Thank you, Sergio!

Introduction

We congratulate you on taking the initial step by purchasing this book to help you find the greatness that you have within you. This greatness is the passion hidden inside you that you possess to lighten the spark that will inspire and motivate you to accomplish all that you have desired in this life. The inspiration for this book was based on life experiences, which have included obstacles, failures, challenges, and overcoming those situations to find the greatness within ourselves.

This book is a reflection of the deception, misconceived notions, and the limited beliefs that have been instilled in us throughout the many epochs of our lives from childhood, adolescence, and then adulthood. It was the limited beliefs and insecurity of the famous phrase I am not good enough, as well as the opinions of others that have created a blindness that has impaired the greatness that was inside of us.
