I have completed a full marathon seven days a week, whether I felt like it or not, as a platform for a book that I spent 9 years working on.
The message of the book is that we can do pretty much anything ONE DAY AT A TIME. The book is not about running, it is about improving. It is about getting better at anything we want to improve at by making small incremental improvements that make the difficult things not only achievable, but relatively easy.
This book was written for anyone who desires to get motivated and more importantly discover how easy it can be to STAY motivated.
Anyone can get motivated, very few can stay motivated. I am giving this book the epic platform that it deserves because I believe that staying motivating is the bridge between dreams and reality.
This book is available in paperback as a print on demand - if you wish to order a copy or twelve, click here.
