Boyd Clewis has defied the odds and gravity.
There\'s an Alchemy to Turning adversity to wisdom, and curses Into blessings, and this is the story of how it worked for Boyd, and how it can work for you..
There are two sides to every coin, and every seeming misfortune contains a lesson.
Focus on any one thing to the exclusion of others, and everything you built can fall apart.
For better or worse, what you focus on determines your character and the trajectory of your life.
And from every angle, it\'s a testament to refusing to be defined by circumstance.
It\'s also about what happens when you try to ignore your calling, and how everything changes when you finally find the courage to follow it.
This book is about how to expertly play the hand you\'re dealt, regardless of how good or bad it is.
It\'s about truly bringing value, instead of chasing certifications - and taking stock of what\'s happened to you and deliberately reshaping it Into something that gives you power.
Ever since, he\'s been teaching it to others, and transforming lives in process.
He not only changed his name, but formed an alter ego, and chose to live by a code: The Authority Mindset.
It can isolate you from your community, or raise everyone around you up.
It can fulfill or destroy you, and it can bring your family closer, or tear it apart.
In the process, he learned what it truly meant to manage success.
Then, from a place most would consider their peak, he started from scratch to build his own business from the ground up.
Yet again, he reinvented himself, failed, and learned from it.
Even then, there were days he couldn\'t get out of bed.
As he relentlessly pursued success, his trajectory shot straight upwards: international success, speaking on major stages - and love.
He refused to fail, and in the process, learned how to turn Crisis Into Opportunity - over and over again.
When it didn\'t last, he found himself unable to even get a job in the produce section at Wal Mart.
He found a brief silver lining in the darkness.
He was born dead, changed schools and homes as a child more times than he can count, became a teenage father and a track star, had more than one close brush with the law, and endured unimaginable family tragedy - all by the time he was barely old enough to drink.
