About Sean’s Motivation Book

I've got good news and bad news… funny how it always seems to work that way. If you’re like me and Don Corleone, from The Godfather, you insist on getting the bad news first. Here it is: I don’t have the answer. I can’t give you a silver bullet to magically turn you into someone who is successful, focused, confident… ya’ know, a bad ass. Now for the good news: The answer already exists inside of you. It’s like the Zen riddle: How did the ship get in the bottle? It was always there. The answer to creating the life you want already exists within you. You may be experiencing tremendous success right now... if you're snapping necks and casino' checks and that’s awesome, but if you feel stuck and frustrated; that’s even better. 

Your COBRA will harness those feelings to rocket yourself through a positive change, but you must do two things:

First you must accept that you were born a winner.

Success is encoded in our DNA. In order for the human race to continue we are hardwired to survive which is the most basic form of success. Cavemen managed to live for over two-hundred thousand years while ducking Sabre Tooth Tigers and other apex predators. But where are they now? A footnote in the book of Human success, the same "book" that you are a chapter in, so make it count.

Second, you must accept responsibility that where you are is who you are. 

Let me repeat that: WHERE YOU ARE IS WHO YOU ARE. Now, you repeat out loud. WHERE I AM IS WHO I AM. I didn’t hear you. Now say it! WHERE I AM IS WHO I AM! Excellent. The sum total of your decisions has brought you to this moment, this reality in your life. Both the good and the challenging. If I’ve learned one thing it is this; we never know what life has in store for us or what is just around the next corner. You can only reclaim your power by owning your choices. Blame and victimhood have no place in this dojo.

You can read all the books in the world about success and motivation but without action you are wasting your time. The rewards you gain are directly related to the work that you put into this journey. Doing the writing with honesty and consideration is critical. The exercises within these pages will determine YOUR SUCCESS, identify your WHY and set your GOALS then achieve them. 

You may not realize it but you already possess two very important qualities in your favor. You purchased this book because something isn’t working in your life. That demonstrates a certain level of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE which is a fundamental necessity if you are going to create change in yourself. You also possess FAITH that change is possible, otherwise you wouldn’t read this book. I take the faith you are placing in me very seriously. Thank you for the opportunity to do what I love, what drives me… inspiring people exactly like you. I want you to get excited about the future because the future starts right now.

Congratulations on making the first of many new, proactive decisions that will positively change your life. You have just crossed the threshold leaving behind the outside world of mediocrity taking the first step to becoming a Cobra. So, if you have been depressed, dispassionate and unengaged in your life, it’s time to throw on your black sleeveless gi and get to work.

Bow to your Sensei and prepare to learn WAY OF THE COBRA.
