YES! IT’S

POSSIBLE

As you read this book, I hope you’ll realize the importance of embracing discomfort. Courage and comfort cannot coexist. Rarely do great things happen unless we behave boldly enough to do something that diverges from the safe and predictable. It is my pleasure to share numerous examples of courage and creativity in hopes that you’ll apply this knowledge and attempt to do something equally ambitious.
