In this revelatory book, authors Kevin Elko and Bill Beausay recount inspiring examples from sports and business to teach you how to live a profoundly satisfying life. Greatness is a deliberate act of finding the best in yourself and making choices from a different mindset. It's a way of seeing a special kind of "more" in your life. And while achieving greatness inevitably leads to profit and phenomenal professional success, when you realize your best self in one area of life, the results inevitably can be experienced in all the others. True Greatness contains a powerful step-by-step process showing you how to: develop a clear idea of who you are and what you want; cultivate a positive new orientation from which better choices can be made; generate action in yourself and create unusual impact on others; overcome information overload; and create a built-in mechanism to generate this sort of greatness consistently. Whereas "excellence" is about becoming the best you can be at one thing, greatness moves you past routine success and onto a new plateau where your achievements are more meaningful and satisfying. True Greatness points the way to a complete life--lived more deeply and filled with joy, passion, success, excitement, and peace.
