About Sean’s Bestselling Motivational Book
Way of the Cobra by Sean Kanan
INTRODUCTION
“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” ― Winston Churchill
Welcome to my dojo; dojo of life.. COBRA life. I am your Sensei. I will teach you to release your inner bad ass using my battle-tested tactics and time-proven strategies. Time to wake the beast. Trust me, you have one! It may have gotten lost or ignored for too long, but it’s in there. I am going to find your COBRA (that successful, focused, driven beast within you) by the end of this book, what you do with it is up to you. I recommend becoming the Sensei to help others do the same.
The endless circle of helping yourself by helping others is the Way of the COBRA; transform yourself and you can transform the world.
We are taught to give respect, as Sensei, I intend to earn yours with my philosophy and strategies. I’m just a small town boy with a dream made possible by following the Way of the COBRA. My COBRA philosophy propelled me into icon status as Karate’s Bad Boy Mike Barnes in The Karate Kid III then saved my life after a near-death experience.
Recently, my inner COBRA wrote Success Factor X (an Amazon new release best-selling book), created and star in STUDiO CiTY (an Emmy winning TV show on Amazon Prime); oh... and lose 35 pounds, all in one year! This is not a flex, rather a demonstration of the power of the inner COBRA. If you continue reading, together we will reveal your path by exploring your personal truth, obstacles, and motivations in order to charm your COBRA out of it’s basket. I’m up for the challenge... are you?

The tools and methods I use on a daily basis to safeguard my progress and ensure my continued success are revealed in Welcome to the Kumite. The path to victory is simple but it is not easy.
