You are the problem. You have always been the problem. Now is the time to get out of your own way. Does that sting a little? It’s tough hearing the bold truth at times. The reality is the truth hurts. Being self-aware is one of the best qualities one can possess. If you are unwilling to be self-aware or unable to do so, it will keep you from growing to the next level.
You are your only competition. You are either doing things to set yourself up for success or failure. It is entirely on you. It took me a very long time to understand this thoroughly. Now that I have clarity on this subject, I want to shout it from the rooftops to each one of you. Get out of your own way. Make the bold decision to instill winning habits into your daily routine. Surround yourself with winners. Stop making excuses and work harder than everyone around you. If you genuinely desire something, you can have it. You just have to be willing to do what I've mentioned in this book. The blueprint has been laid out for you. It is all about taking massive action. There is typically more said than done when it is all said and done. Do not be that person. Get to work.
ADAM MARBURGER
Adam Marburger is a serial entrepreneur that lives his life in three buckets; insurance, real estate, and martial arts. He is the President and CEO of Ascent Dealer Services, an insurance agency specializing in building wealth for automotive, RV, and power-sports dealers across the country. His tremendous track record in retail automotive landed him the title of “Automotive News 40 under 40” in 2018, which launched him as one of the most sought-after coaches in the industry. Adam is also the President/CEO of the Marburger Investment Group and A2 Investments, having a passion for real estate and acquiring new properties. His most recent company, Alton Family Martial Arts, is near and dear to his heart. Adam is a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and holds National Champion and six-time World Medalist titles. Adam is undefeated in boxing, kickboxing, and Mixed Martial Arts. He enjoys getting to share his love of martial arts with his community.
Adam has three little “WHYS” named Ahnalee, Arabelle, and Astyn, who he coaches daily to become the best possible versions of themselves. He loves being a father, and that is what motivates him on a daily basis. When Adam is not working or spending time with his girls, you will find him traveling, his favorite hobby outside of martial arts.
