About the Author

Every carefully curated post in their timeline felt like a punch in the gut.

And every time I got on social media, it was like rubbing salt into my wounded soul.

Logically, I knew that I was shooting myself in the foot for comparing the state of my life with others.

Everyone is on their own journey, and each situation is different - so why couldn't I stop myself from feeling terrible about it anyway?

If you were in the dark like I was, you'd be anything BUT rational about your outlook.

I kept telling myself over and over that all those people had every advantage and opportunity I had when I was younger.

But why did it seem like I was the ONLY ONE living an average, humdrum, and painfully "good enough" kind of life?

The more I thought about it, the less motivated I got to change my situation. And the less motivated I felt, the more I felt stuck in my rut.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

This self-perpetuating vortex of negativity slowly chipped away at me over the next several years leading up to my 40th birthday. It left me in a self-pitying daze that rippled into the different areas of my life.

I wrestled with feeling mediocre and the terrifying thought of staying that way forever.

Worse, I lacked a sense of purpose and meaning in my life, which didn't exactly make me a fun guy to be around.

So it was extremely challenging for me to stay in the present moment where my family and friends needed me to be. As a result, my work performance tanked, and I basically alienated the people around me.

If this trend kept up, I knew without a doubt that I'd have to look for another job - and have to live away from my wife and kids.

Something had to change, but I didn't know where to start.

All I knew was that I was DONE sitting around and feeding that negative vortex in my life.

This was when I decided to embark on a journey of personal transformation. It was finally time for me to be the guy that everyone needed me to be.

But more importantly,  I had to be that guy for MYSELF. No one else was going to do that for me.

I went online and got knee-deep in research, hit the library, and went shopping for personal development coaches.

You know, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be doing any of this. In my smug superiority, I dismissed the value of the whole "self-help thing."

So I kind of scared myself at first being this "new guy," who was scouring the web and every possible resource to find the answers I desperately ached for.

But little by little, it began to make sense to me. Through some blood, sweat, and tears, I gradually got over myself and got the clarity I needed.

As much as I learned and grew during this time, my journey wasn't over yet.

I had even more mind-blowing discoveries when I stumbled across an online forum with a group of amazing people who shared my pain.

The funny thing was that they were wealthy, successful, and lived glamorous lives.

In fact, they were NOT unlike the folks I knew from my high school and college.

So in a way, it was like pulling back the curtain and seeing the TRUTH behind the facade I had accepted for so long.

It floored me that they ALSO confronted the SAME kind of dread and desperation that pervaded my own existence.

It was shocking to know these successful people STILL had a part of them that was waiting to be unleashed.

At the time, I couldn't process all of this new information. And I couldn't help but think how absurd it was to meet these folks in such a random way.

Was it fate, or a greater force at work?

Whatever it was, I received this incredible gift with gratitude - and ran with it.

So as it turned out, everything I assumed to be true turned out to be a LIE...

...and for the first time, I finally understood.

I finally took the happiness-killing myths and limiting beliefs that drained me like a pack of vampires…

...and burned them to ash as I held them up to the light of truth.

Then after that, I decided to take everything I learned and distill into a personal guide.

I wanted to take the insights I've soaked up during this eye-opening, soul-searching sabbatical...

...and convert it into an actionable manual to help me to break out of the rut I was in.

But to complete my little guide, I needed to get the missing piece of the puzzle...

On top of everything else, I also had to pick the brains of the exceptional people I met so I could expand my perspective even more.

I was dying to know what made them tick and what kind of personal roadblocks they faced in their lives.

And after thousands of hours' worth of interviews and back-and-forth conversations with them, I banged out my little "Life Manual" (as I called it back then).

This paved the way to unleashing my Most Awesome Self.

I finally unlearned decades of false beliefs, pre-programmed fears, and hard-wired biases that were keeping me in the dark.

I was able to tell myself that I no longer had to hold on to my old state of mind. I could finally break free from that inner voice that dictated what I could and couldn't do.

Suddenly, all those preconceived limitations came tumbling down like a house of cards.

Let me tell you, it was one of the most liberating experiences of my life.

I was so grateful for the knowledge that I learned the hard way that I emailed my "Life Manual" to my new group of friends. I wanted to offer some comfort and clarity to them in my own little way.

At first, I was worried that they'd think I was crazy after reading my take on being your best self.

A few weeks had gone by without hearing a peep out of any of them...

"That's it," I thought, "they probably think I'm nuts!"

Then out of nowhere, the responses began to trickle in. Their replies came in slowly at first, but it quickly turned into an outpour of kindness and support.

One of them said:

"Hey Marko, I just spent the last couple of weeks going over the stuff you sent me… and I have to say it changed everything for me… and I mean that in a very very GOOD way! I finally quit my cushy high-paying job of 15 years and started up my own business. Also, things are so much better between me and my wife, she said I've changed so much and we're arguing way less than before. How on earth did you come up with this??"

Then another one told me:

"After reading through your guide, everything's so clear to me now. At first I didn't think it would change anything...but now I can't believe I didn't see any of this before! I didn't realize how changing my perspective would open me up to amazing new things. That feeling of feeling stuck finally went away. I learned the hard way it's not always about the money… now I've got so much to live for than busting my tail managing my business. Thanks Marko!!!"

This one made me chuckle:

"I don't know what you did to me Marko, but I want to thank you for helping me get over my crap! Everything's so different now… even my husband and two teenage daughters said I'm much more fun to be around LOL!"

And here's another one:

"Hi Marko! Thank you SO, SO much for your email! I feel so inspired now, but beyond that I ended up taking action and made REAL progress with my personal goals! I ended up mapping out everything I wanted to do over the next year but as early as now I'm making so much progress. I think you knocked something loose in my head to be honest. Everything that used to bother me doesn't anymore and that negative noise in my brain suddenly switched off. All those excuses I had are gone too. I can't explain what happened, but thank you again!"

All of them told me how much things turned around...

...all without struggling or feeling like banging they were their head against the wall.

The changes flowed effortlessly, and they elevated every area of their life.

I was shocked that they made an immensely profound shift as I did!

While I was grateful for all of their replies, this one resonated with me the most:

"Marko, you need to SHARE this with more people. I really think you can help a lot of folks with what you've done... If you could help me change my perspective in such a big way...then I'm 100% sure you can make the same impact on other people too!"
