Ep. 100 | Chase Your Dreams and Choose The Third Door Alex Banayan

Reality is negotiable. That's what I got after reading the book from my latest guest — Alex Banayan. Alex is an entrepreneur, speaker and author of The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched Their Careers. Here's the premise of the book: There's the First Door: the main entrance, where 99 percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always . . . the Third Door. It's the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen--there's always a way. During this conversation, we explore his amazing quest to write the book, how anyone can live the philosophy, how to take bold action and some amazing lessons from the people he interviewed, including Bill Gates, Lady Gaga and more. We talk about being rejected, about the upside of being naive...and how to never give up! THE 1% RULE IS OUT! My latest book, The 1% Rule: How to Fall in Love with the Process and Achieve Your Wildest Dreams is now out on Amazon. I'm so excited to finally release this book, and I need your help to push this up the lists as I am proud of what I have created. Head here to grab your copy of The 1% Rule Now! http://a.co/6H8uWlH The 1% Rule was designed to answer three core questions: Why do some people seem to achieve massive success in everything they do, while others can't even get out of their own way? What separates those who get excited and inspired for a season, a quarter, a month or a week — and those who are consistently on fire? What are the core principles, mindsets, habits, and rituals of those who execute ruthlessly, and those who sit on the sidelines pondering? …through exploring these answers over the last decade the core principles, strategies and proven framework of The 1% Rule were born and are now yours today.
