Looking back at the life I lived years ago, I see a man who seemingly had it all. I ran my own companies since I was 28 years old. I married a beautiful woman. Together we brought three children into the world and, for 16 years, I ran a business with annual sales of $30 to $35 million. I collected all the hallmarks of the desired life—a big house in the hills bordering Silicon Valley, vacation homes, fully-loaded cars, boats, private schools for the kids, and exotic vacations for all of us. Only one thing was missing: I wasn't happy. I was much the opposite. And one day, everything fell apart, and I knew I had to make a change. By shedding my old belief systems and developing new ones, by releasing ego and judgment of myself and others, by cultivating self-awareness and consciousness, by recalibrating my goals and promoting those goals through my actions, I have transformed my life. I wrote this book to share the Imperative Habit with you, so you too can move from dissatisfaction and suffering to joy, contentedness, and peace. The Imperative Habit details how to shed the old beliefs and make new ones, and how to practice, form habits, and create growth, and eventually real transformation, in your life. I did it, and so can you! By practicing the Imperative Habit, you can: – Leave behind old beliefs that no longer serve you – Deconstruct self-sabotaging behaviors – Develop self-awareness and consciousness – Create new goals in alignment with your true self – Make conscious choices to drive yourself toward your goals – Live a happy, joyful, fulfilling, and meaningful life, as you are meant to live And you can do all this without pouring tomato juice in your hair.
