"Move over Tim Ferriss, there's a refreshed approach to unshackling yourself from the grueling busy-work of the grind." - Matthew Hart - Author and CTO Arise Virtual Solutions
Leave The Grind Behind is for anyone who has built a good career, is comfortable, yet has an itch—a realization—that there is more to life.
This book is dedicated to all those ready to forge their own path, get more out of life, and burn their imprint on the world. You want more money, more freedom, and to build your own legacy. Perhaps you want to carve a future by leveraging your talents to freelance, consult, or become an entrepreneur.
Leave The Grind Behind is packed with actions, habits, and tools that will enable your success and explode your results. It will help you build the legacy you envisioned yourself leaving. You will develop a plan for leaving the grind behind, execute, and do so with minimal risk.
Time is your most valuable asset. Spending the majority of it working for someone else’s dream won’t let you achieve the life you want. You’ll end up as just another cog in the daily grind, working for an upper-middle class salary with no end in sight. Your own dreams are fading… but you’re not ready to go down without a fight.
If this sounds like you, you’re ready for more in life than just a job. You’re ready to venture into a realm that will be more rewarding and more exciting. You’re ready for something that will make you a fortune.
Leave The Grind Behind is for you if you want to...
- Quit your day job and follow your passions to become a consultant, a freelancer, or an entrepreneur.
- Be a rock star at the job you already have, opening your career wide.
- Identify your personal and professional goals, then design your life around them.
- Reduce the risk of doing something big.
- Create new revenue streams while working your current job.
- Purchase investment properties.
- Complete that passion project on the side.
- Write a book.
- Provide for yourself and your family without compromise.
- Live a life directed by you rather than someone else.
- Enjoy freedom and the best things life has to offer.
- Leave a legacy.
Leave The Grind Behind will inspire you to leave the daily grind and start a life in which you drive the results. A life in which you:
- Earn money via multiple channels.
- Are in control of your time.
- Do things you enjoy.
- Leave a legacy that makes you proud.
It can be a daunting proposition to completely kick your job and spend as much time as you want on projects that excite you. If you’re not quite ready to go all in, this book will give you plenty of guidance and inspiration to get you started.
To start an excellent, scalable business, you’re probably looking at a couple of years of tremendously hard work with little return and no guarantee. If you already have a solid job, a mortgage, and a family to support, you know that immediately jumping into the deep end is just too risky. But, that doesn’t need to stop you.
There is no shortage of self-help, personal development, and get-rich books on the market. And that’s great. Life is a journey, and we all need fresh sources of inspiration and ideas to keep ourselves motivated and challenged. This book provides that for you. But it can do something more.
Many books come from authors who’ve had one particularly large success. Leave the Grind Behind provides a more generally accessible path. You won’t necessarily learn how to be a one time success, but rather to consistently find one success after the next. You’ll get the tools to achieve repeated excellence.

Review
Having taken many steps to minimize the impact of wasted time, I came ready to hear what your approach would be. I found the basis in mental energy to be right on target--the minute anyone puts themselves in a position to want change, the first challenge is always overcoming their own psychological barriers. Affirmations tied to habits tied to goals...you've covered critical ground to make positive change. Once I made it through, I found myself itching to do the actions. I couldn't wait to hit the street!"
Matthew Hart - Author and CTO Arise Virtual Solutions

This book is about throwing away your past conceptions of what "corny", or "success", or even "good" is. It's "good" to grind yourself to a heart attack, at a stressful job you hate, just as long as you can keep buying more stuff. Right? That's success, isnt it? You died at 50, but you had a lot of stuff. It's "corny" to program yourself with positivity, instead of a drumbeat of negativity and corporate brainwashing. Right? Wrong.
But if you were brought up working class, that's the way most of us were programmed. This book shines the light on a new reality. You're still going to work hard, but it's with an end goal and philosophy of personal dream fulfillment and YOUR goals, not somebody else's. I've just finished the book, and I'm going to start it again.
If you're looking for a success guide that isnt afraid to be bold, and take some fresh new approaches to personal fulfillment, then you owe it to yourself to give this book a try. And as a sidenote - the author is still active, and stands behind his work. He didnt just write this, and disappear. I went to his site and got an email from him soon thereafter. Justin's the real deal.
This book turns the concept of hitting it big on its head. Instead of writing from the standpoint of one who quickly achieved incredible success and then rode that wave to write a successful book, the author shows how he employed daily and weekly habits, attitudes, and goals to hit it big the everyman's way: through sheer hard work, determination, and positive approaches. His story is truly inspirational, and I find his book to be much more accessible than those written from the standpoint of those who achieved tremendous success through one big thing.
I have recently applied some of the principles in this book, and I can attest firsthand to their effectiveness. I have seen my net worth steadily grow, I have enjoyed happier and more positive relationships with my friends and family, and I have hit some big goals this year. And while I may still work a traditional job, I've learned how to approach my work in new and more positive ways.
If you've grown weary of the traditional "get-rich-quick" books and their inaccessible promises, I assure you that this is the book for you. The book doesn't just tell you to come up with a big idea or product and then sell it to massive amounts of people. Instead, it gives you realistic actions that you can apply hourly and daily that will help you safely build streams of income that will help you work less while enjoying a more meaningful life. And the methods in this book will help you be ready for when that big success comes, as it so often does for those who employ the mindsets outlined within.

When the author tells you what to do, he also tells you why it works. I bought the book to help my mental attitude of limitation. I am not part of the grind, I am in the DRIFT, wanting to make changes from the daily sameness. I am wondering what I can contribute to my family and community since ceasing to dream and I have started my list of things to dream. The list is small and I am hopeful I will regain some of my former limitless thinking I had at a younger time in my life. It is the perfect book for me right now and showed up when I needed it.
I've read some amazing material in the past few years on my journey to success, and as others have noted, there are some differences with this book. A line my wife and I learned from our fellow students while taking a recent business course is, "inch by inch, life's a cinch...yard by yard, life is hard." This book breaks down the big concepts I've learned from books like Think and Grow Rich into bite size, workable, daily exercises to get me going in a positive direction and keep me motivated. I've read the "why" books; this is more of a "do" book. Theory is one thing, practice is another. If you've been overwhelmed by the Big Picture books on how to get started, maybe this is your next step.
