Product Description

Change the way you think about life, business and success forever. From now on, Think Like a Black Belt!

Bestselling author Larry Winget says “Jim, a real black belt himself, does a great job teaching you to be your best by obtaining the mindset that will propel you to excellence. Read this book!”

Spencer Hughes, host of FOX Across America calls Think Like a Black Belt “a much needed roundhouse kick to laziness and complacency for those of us who need that spark to make our dreams come true.”

Think Like a Black Belt is a full-contact look at the fundamental mindset characteristics we all need to achieve excellence in personal and professional life. The author, Jim Bouchard, shares the philosophy he developed as a professional martial artist to give the reader a look inside the mind of a black belt.

Not another “quick fix” entry to the personal development genre, this book lays the foundation for success by examining the values and characteristics essential to the process of personal growth including discipline, focus, confidence and courage. The author freely shares his journey from college drop-out and drug abuser to black belt and professional martial artist.

Often blunt, this book sometimes punches the reader in the face with the reality. At other times the author gently takes your hand and offers encouragement in a humorous, accessible “tough-love” format.

If you’re looking for shortcuts, this book is not for you. If you’re ready to take control of your life and step into the ring with Black Belt Mindset you’ve found your “Sensei.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A Black Belt in Success in Life and Business, June 6, 2010
This review is from: Think Like a Black Belt (Kindle Edition)
If you think this book is about martial arts or just for marital artists, you're wrong. It's about applying the principles of martial arts to your life as the most elite martial artists - Black Belts - apply them to their discipline.

In this book, Jim Bouchard shares what he's learned first-hand as a martial artist for nearly 25 years. He takes the concepts he's taught as a Master Instructor and leads you through the process of achieving your Black Belt in your chosen endeavor.

Jim has organized the material in this book so it's simple to follow and digest. There are three major areas, each with three components:

Perfection - excellence, discipline and focus

Confidence - power, perseverance and mastery

Leadership - wisdom, courage and compassion

Throughout the book, Jim shares stories about his experiences that you'll find humorous, touching and inspiring ... in some cases, all at the same time!

When you read Think Like a Black Belt, you'll see quickly that Jim is the real deal. He doesn't pull any punches. He's a master at demonstrating that it's "simple, not easy" to be a big success!

More About the Author

Martial arts transformed Jim's self-perception from that of a two-time college dropout and drug abuser to Black Belt and professional martial artist.

Jim's resume is colorful. As a former television writer and producer, he's done everything from fitting pipes on submarines, mopping floors, pumping gas and selling hot dogs to producing television commercials, fighting fires, boxing, playing drums in major concerts, hosting radio shows and kicking for semi-pro football teams.

Today Jim tours nationally to teach his Black Belt Mindset philosophy for conference and corporate audiences. His second book, Think Like a Black Belt is scheduled for release in May, 2010. He regularly appears on radio and TV around the world sharing his message of excellence, discipline, focus and opportunity.
