What is a Growth Warrior?

A Growth Warrior is a business person, sales person, an executive, a team leader, an entrepreneur, a solopreneur, a side hustler. A person who engages in life and in business from the perspective that growth is always obtainable. It's about endurance and taking on bigger and bigger challenges. Growth Warriors are focused on improvement - growing and becoming a better and better version of themselves.

I want you to be a Growth Warrior. I want you to think less about mastering the outcome and more about the manifestation of the outcome.

I want you to focus on these fundamental questions:

What have I learned?

What can I learn?

How can I grow?

Where can I give value?

The purpose of this book is not to give you tips for success. It’s about understanding the traits of a true Growth Warrior. I am someone who believes my success is guaranteed because I’m always getting better. My definition of success is being able to do the work I love, with people I love, on things that matter. Everyday I’m becoming more and more successful.

This book is my attempt to take what I’ve learned, the experiences and hard knocks, the fun and exciting lessons, and give them to you. This book speaks to the capabilities, skillsets, attributes and competencies that I’ve spent the past 15 years perfecting. And not because someone told me I should, but because I decided these are my benchmarks, my baselines, and I’m proud of what I've achieved and I want YOU to be successful, too.

I hope that you read this book with an open heart and open mind. Words don’t teach, only life experience does. But I hope you can see yourself in these stories and experiences and see yourself in a bigger, different, better, more promising and more optimistic light.

Let’s go on this journey together. Enjoy the book!
