You want to live an amazing life.

You want to have a happy and healthy romantic relationship. You want to have a fulfilling career that gives you meaning. You want to be financially independent so that you can do what you want, when you want, with who you want.

You’re crystal clear on what you want to achieve in life.

Unfortunately, you’re just not sure how to achieve it.

As a result, you’re constantly working towards your goals, but you never make any progress.

It’s frustrating.

But here’s the good news: achieving the life of your dreams: health, love, career…

Persuasion is not just a skill for salespeople, marketers, and entrepreneurs.

No matter what you do for a living, you’re always trying to persuade someone to your way of thinking or someone is trying to persuade you to theirs.

If you’re a student, for example, you have to persuade your teacher to accept an assignment late, to change a grade, or to take a test early.

In work settings, you have to persuade your co-workers about projects, persuade your boss about promotions, and you have to persuade customers about your products.

If you’re hungry, you have to persuade your friends…

Every year, you set new goals for yourself.

You set a goal to lose 20 pounds. You set a goal to become a New York Times’ bestselling author. You set a goal to make $5,000 per month.

But time and time again, they never work out.

It feels like you’re Sisyphus trying to push the boulder up the hill, but never making any progress.

It‘s frustrating.

But here’s the thing about success: It’s not enough to just be focused on your goals. Instead, what you need to be focused on is your systems.

In the book “Atomic Habits” best-selling author…

How do you radically transform your life in just a few months?

The answer is simple: Come up with 10 ideas a day. Every day.

In the book “Tools of Titans,” entrepreneur and bestselling author James Altucher tells Tim Ferriss that if you write down a list of 10 ideas a day, you’ll turn yourself into an idea machine.

As a result, you’ll magically start to see your life transform right in front of your eyes.

This is because no matter what situation you’re in, you’ll always have tons of ideas.

If you get stuck on a desert highway, for…

The famous jazz musician Miles Davis once said, “Time isn’t the main thing. It’s the only thing.”

Although Davis was probably talking about timing in relation to music, timing also applies to everything we do on a daily basis.

From productivity to love, our lives are a constant stream of “when” decisions that relate to timing.

For instance:

• When should you schedule your doctor’s appointment?
• When should you deliver bad news to someone?
• When should you do your most important task of the day?

Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about timing. …

Be honest with me…

How many hours of sleep do you get each night?

I’d bet that it’s less than 7?

Unfortunately, 7 hours of sleep just isn’t enough. Yes, you may use stimulants throughout the day to compensate for not getting enough sleep, but in the long run, your health, happiness, and productivity will fall apart.

In the book “Why We Sleep,”​ author Matthew Walker says,

“Routinely sleeping less than 7 hours a night demolishes your immune system, more than doubling your risk of cancer.”

He goes on…

It can also disrupt your blood sugar levels, block arteries, and…

In 2004, Joshua Foer was commissioned by Slate Magazine to cover the US Memory Championship.

Here he observed participants memorize 35 decks of cards in 5 minutes, memorize 1,000 digits of a randomized number in 30 minutes, and memorize 100 faces and names in 3 minutes.

Joshua, who considers himself someone with a terrible memory, was stunned at what he was witnessing.

“Who are these people?” he thought.

Obviously, they had to be savants, right?

Wrong.

Apparently, they’re not savants at all. Instead, they’re just normal people who simply use old techniques that have been around for thousands of years.

Born in 1452, Leonardo da Vinci is history’s greatest Polymath.

He was an engineer, a chef, a writer, an artist, a musician, a painter, an architect, a political advisor, a designer, a botanist, and a civil planner.

He conceptually invented the parachute, the helicopter, the bicycle, and the tank hundreds of years before their invention.

He painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. And in late 2017, his painting Salvator Mundi sold for $450.3 million, which is the highest price for any work of art sold at auction.

Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius. There’s no doubt about that…
