Third Circle Theory: Purpose Through Observation


Pejman Ghadimi - 2013
    There is advice for people who are just starting out and for people who are in the middle of it. As a successful entrepreneur myself, I agreed with most of the points made, whether it's about how to view the world, trying to understand what people's motives are, or how to differentiate between being confident and being arrogant. The book finishes off by explaining what to do when you have been successful, and that's the part that spoke to me the most. I recommend this book as a blueprint, outline or road map to a successful life. - Allen Wong / Rego AppsThe Third Circle Theory is a modern, eloquent & beautifully systematic answer to life's biggest question. Never before have I seen a literary piece combine such a high level of consciousness with functional, step-by-step business building strategy. Pieces like this are satisfying as an entrepreneur because we know we will look back 30 (and more) years from now and recognize with a smile that this was the beginning of a new generation unlocking new levels of consciousness within themselves. The Third Circle Theory garners my highest endorsement and it is my firm conviction that it is a "must read" for every entrepreneur. - Chris McCann / Outlier AcademyWhat if you could take full control of your circumstance, society, and life in the next 30 days?The rules of entrepreneurship have changed. While most books in the world of business and entrepreneurship will teach you about various 'new' methods to becoming successful, they unfortunately don't teach you why only 2% succeed while the other 98% fail. The Third Circle Theory was created to help you understand the key role that your observations play in your success and will enable you to re-live your own life and rediscover what traits, skills, and observations are critical to your success. More importantly this book will help you discover how to tweak your very belief and habit system instantaneously in order to significantly increase your chances of success regardless of which field you undertake. Each circle is designed to help you understand how to stay in control of your emotions and circumstance as you undertake your entrepreneurial journey. Everyone of us is born into a circumstance which we do not control, but all of us are able to take control and alter that circumstance in order to build a strong foundation for ourselves. Regardless that we are born poor or rich, we are can master the 8 components in Circle 1 to progress to a successful state of mind and undertake the challenges that society has created for us. Circle 2 teaches us how to adapt and benefit from other systems and concepts we interact with daily through 6 different components. Our pursuit of wealth and freedom can only take us so far but it is ultimately our drive to define our purpose in life that keeps us motivated. Circle 3 enables us to understand how we create fulfillment for ourselves and define our legacy through entrepreneurship. Understand how your belief controls your perspective and how to control it to create the outcomes you want.When most say "dream big", we'll teach you why dreaming leads straight to failure.Discover how confidence and skills lead to the creation of passion and vision.Uncover how most people, even entrepreneurs, are stuck in the rat race and don't even know it. Learn to escape the mundane.Learn to manipulate your environment to maximize wealth, rather than to become a by-product of it.Understand the new rules of entrepreneurship based on today's new global marketplace.This book is for ANYONE who believes they are worth more than they have today, and never want to settle for anything less but their goals.

Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers


Timothy Ferriss - 2016
     From the author:   “For the last two years, I’ve interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview. This unusual depth has helped make The Tim Ferriss Show the first business/interview podcast to pass 100 million downloads.   “This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and ‘inside baseball’ you won’t find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new ‘guests’ you haven’t met.   “What makes the show different is a relentless focus on actionable details. This is reflected in the questions. For example: What do these people do in the first sixty minutes of each morning? What do their workout routines look like, and why? What books have they gifted most to other people? What are the biggest wastes of time for novices in their field? What supplements do they take on a daily basis?   “I don’t view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I can’t test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, I’m not interested.   “Everything within these pages has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. I’ve used dozens of the tactics and philosophies in high-stakes negotiations, high-risk environments, or large business dealings. The lessons have made me millions of dollars and saved me years of wasted effort and frustration.   “I created this book, my ultimate notebook of high-leverage tools, for myself. It’s changed my life, and I hope the same for you.”

Doing What Must Be Done: Even Limitations Can Be Used to Make Life Better!


Chad Hymas - 2011
    but not out. In 2001, then-27-year-old Chad Hymas had everything: a beautiful wife, two sons, two thriving businesses and parents and brothers who loved and supported him in everything he did. It seemed he couldn't fail. Everything he touched turned to gold. And then a rushed decision to ignore safety in favor of getting home to see his baby boy take his first steps changed everything forever. A few minutes of caution could've kept his golden life on track, and he would live to regret his decision until he changed his mind about what his life was for. Ultimately, Chad Hymas spent many weeks in the hospital and in physical therapy. The doctors determined that psychological therapy wasn't needed, but Chad had another kind of help. He met Art Berg, another quadriplegic, who introduced himself without a word but with plenty of action. And Chad was paying attention. That was the day he began to change his mind about his life's purpose. With desperation, dedication and determination, and the help and love of his family and friends, Chad set out to reinvent himself, take risks, and do things he never thought he could or would do, even when his body was whole and fully functional. He had plenty of black periods to work through, to let go of his old ideas about who he was supposed to be, and the anger and frustration of not being able to be that. It hasn't been an easy journey, but it has transformed him into a man unlike anything he ever thought he could or would be. He's dedicated his life to service for others who have lost functionality, or perhaps never had it. He became a living example of what is possible, if one is willing to invent different ways to do what has to be done. In order to teach others, he had to invent those new and different ways of doing things for himself. He had to walk the talk. Now... He opens minds, eyes, hearts and doors for people just like himself. He helps people who have all their faculties to become more than they think they can be. He inspires children and adults alike, those with challenges and those without. He helps companies to work better by coming together, and teaches families and caretakers new ways to help those they care for. In the ten years since his accident, Chad travels the world, speaking to companies, kids in schools at all grade levels, families and individuals whose lives are being remolded by their own events. He has become the living demonstration of what is possible, if we find different ways of doing what must be done. His life changed forever and now, he changes lives.
