    Don’t let the word “hunt” scare you. We are all hunters, whether it is in the woods and fields or in your every day life. I wrote The Hunt: Target, Track and Attain Your Goals so everyone could use the five pillars to succeed, no matter the target. If you are trying to get a promotion, find financial freedom, strengthen your relationships or simply start something new, The Hunt will help you achieve your goals.

    The five pillars of The Hunt are:

    Predatory Consciousness: True hunters know how to be present, in the moment, alive and aware. Hunters seek clarity and getting above the tree line so they can see their desired outcomes.

    Authenticity: Being real, up front and honest about your motives, desired outcomes, capabilities and needs is one of the most powerful advantages you can take with you into any hunt. The Hunt will teach you that being your true self (stripping away the camouflage and owning your life) is your biggest asset.

With The Hunt, you will master the critical skills of leverage and see new opportunities on your path.

    Real Time Execution: Ideas and energy matter but when it comes to hunting successfully, execution rules. The intensely focused pursuit of your goals, using real data, while learning to spot the pivots and knowing when to stick it out and when to walk away, will become second nature when you learn to spot the winning trails ahead.

    Flow: When you see the world around you clearly – when you know who you are and what you want, own your Desired Outcomes and commit to doing whatever it takes to claim them – you naturally align yourself with the people, places, events and ideas that surround and support that outcome. When you master all the aspects of The Hunt, you will FEEL flow come to you.

    When you are on The Hunt, conscious and clear on your motives and outcomes, being your authentic self, leveraging your connections and executing with flow, no target is out of your reach.
