THE PITCH
Why? Why did I have to wait to get my dyslexic back-assward thinking self to YALE to learn -on the first day no less, what could have saved me (and you) a freaken lifetime of struggles. The basic shortcut of how our brains really work. Simple stuff -meaningful details that I could have used in the fifth grade, about how success is more than luck or timing and not nearly as elusive as most of us believe. It pissed me off.
Imagine this: a dyslexic, attention-deficit dropout, defying all odds and enrolling in classes online at universities like Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Oxford, and Dartmouth.

Anyone can be a Goal Smasher, I am severely dyslexic, for those of you who do not know about this debilitating condition, it renders you incapable of seeing letters and words the way you should. How can I learn, when I read so poorly you ask? Part of a Goal Smasher is dealing with your setbacks and using them to update your mind, update your life.
Now picture me at my desk, my finger poised over the "Send" button on my laptop. I was just three inches from a major reboot. But it scared the hell out of me. I had been working as an interior designer, a career that was taking me nowhere fast. I longed for something more soul-satisfying, more lucrative, more make-me-bounce-out-of-bed-in the morning-raring-to-go happy. More pay-my-bills, I thought I might have found the answer in MIT's online international Ph.D.-level program in data science, a daydream life upgrade. But failure pressed to the ground by the weight of dyslexia, I feared I would never meet my destiny.
After a few deep breaths, I told my finger to ignore my fear and pressed the button, and began my Success Reset and the rest, as they say, is history. I went on to build a highly successful and deeply satisfying career resetting success in my life and the lives of others as a coach, radio show host, three-time TEDx speaker, host, and producer of a TV show. And with the book, you hold in your hand, an author.
It didn't happen overnight. Slowly I discovered the gift hidden in my dyslexia: the uncanny ability to grasp interconnected relationships and hidden patterns of success. This skill enabled me to soar to reinvention.
I winged my way through advanced online courses at Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Berkeley, Princeton, and beyond. I had unlocked the whole wide universe of learning and a pattern of success hidden across multiple disciplines.
What if we borrowed success from disruptive innovation the buzzword of business, balanced it with psychology, and flushed it through a lens of neuroscience. What if we used all of the arsenal hidden behind the ivy gates of education to unlock our own outcomes? redefining the rules for success.
So, what are the rules for personal success, I wondered? That question sent me soaring into the stratosphere of psychology and neuroscience. There I learned how the human brain works, how we use it to define and redefine ourselves, how we can transform into a high-flying achievers. I found that just as a business disruption begins with a single and often simple insight, Success Reset begins with a single inescapable pain point, that turning-point moment that marks a true fork in the road. Mine came when I poised my finger over that "Send" button. Yours may come when you graduate from school, find you can no longer stand your soul-sapping job, get fired, battle back from a terrible accident or health crisis, suffer from feelings of hopelessness and depression, or encounter any of the innumerable moments when push comes to shove when you must choose to remain stuck or embark on a new (and admittedly scary) path to reset your life.
In this book, I share a step-by-step, easy to follow, yet sometimes challenging, methodology anyone can use to practice and eventually master a life reset. It begins with enabling a personal culture of success, applying the latest scientific principles, and gathering new assets you need to succeed. Along the way, it provides an array of tools transformed from business and neuroscience for life, illustrated by examples of those tools at work. It concludes by redefining every setback and failure as an opportunity for learning and growth.
In the end, Success Reset is all in your head. If you update your mind, you update your life.
