Getting it sorted can be easier than you think.

Don′t confuse bad decisions with bad luck.

Just ask Brad Burton.

Every great thinker will use the ideas in this book but it took Brad to write them down for the rest of us.

To some on the outside, Brad s approach seems a little unconventional, at times crazy. Time upon time again, Brad keeps proving he s the real deal.
Shaa Wasmund, #1 bestselling business author, Stop Talking, Start Doing

Mind–blowing. Brad is a genuinely unique speaker and writer, and I ve also seen, first–hand the lives he has positively changed.
