Get a “safe” job. Work nine-to-five. Take out a mortgage. Invest in your 401(k). Then, forty years later,
maybe
you can retire at about that same mediocre standard of living. And then, you die.
Most people call this the
American dream
. Joseph McCabe calls it the
middle-class trap
. But it’s a trap you can escape—
if
you’re willing to go to war for your success.
Maintain your gear
is a military saying that defines a way of life. It is the practice of
owning
everything in your world to an extreme degree. It means you are solely responsible for everything that could possibly make your mission successful. This concept can be daunting at first, but it is ultimately empowering. Once you accept that everything that happens does so because of you, you realize you have ultimate control over your success!
This book is for leaders, salespeople, employees, students, soldiers, and all others who want to own every part of their lives. If you can't figure out what is holding you back, this book will help you realize that
you
are holding
yourself
back. There are no secrets, gimmicks, or tricks in this book, nor is there a hidden agenda. The
only
goal is your success.
