We’re all on the journey of life, but how do you know you’re going in the right direction? What’s your purpose? How do you discover it? Your life is your vehicle to design, drive, and maintain. Unfortunately, too many people end up back seat driving through life or driving other people’s vehicles and never take the driver’s seat of their own lives. Using the 8 Cylinders of Success™ framework, this book and workbook will help you design the vehicle of your life and achieve your highest personal velocity in your personal and professional life.

The 8 Cylinders of Success™ is a framework created by Jullien Gordon based on academic research in performance optimization, self-motivation, positive psychology, and happiness and the in depth study of some of the world’s most successful people. The 8 Cylinders of Success™ includes your: principles, passions, problems, people, positioning, pioneers, picture, and possibility. Together, they lead to your purpose, which is your personal GPS system that continuously guides you in the right direction throughout life.

Note: as of 2017, The High Performer Plan is now a part of the New Year Guide.

The High Performer Plan is a weekly visioning and planning tool to help busy professionals be more intentional about the way they spend their time before, during, and after work. The workbook is designed to help you establish more work-life balance and become a high performing professional, partner, and parent.

What’s unique about the layout is that your weekly to-do list and weekly time grid are side-by-side. While people have recommended that I create an app, there is no screen that is big enough to display both together. This is critical since every action on your to do list has some sort of time associated with it. Using this format allows you to be honest about what you can accomplish and it also allows you track what you’ve accomplished each week.

When you purchase The New Year Guide, you will receive a 30 minute video tutorial on how to design your week in 15 minutes on Sunday evening or Monday morning to make sure that you are living a life of your own choosing. By putting first things first and aligning your time with your values, you will find yourself happier, healthier, and more productive.

This book was written in 30 days using the exact same goal setting “in motion” process it teaches. This process can be applied to any goal, new year’s resolution, or project you want to accomplish in your life or career.

The difference between a goal setter and a goal achiever is accountability. Guaranteed Goals is an “advanced” goal setting strategy that leverages the power of authenticity, accountability, and an activation to help you achieve your goals in less time. Advanced is literal and figurative.

This strategy is all about how you set up the goal in advance of taking action and it’s not for beginners who are comfortable just writing their goals down with dates. By simply changing the sequence of events that make up the goal setting and goal achievement process, you can significantly increase the likelihood that you will achieve any goal you set.

101 Things To Do Before You Graduate is a comprehensive of list of experiences to seek out during college to prepare students for the real world after college. The list is based on Patricia Hudak‘s (NYU ’06) and Jullien Gordon‘s (UCLA ’03 & Stanford ’07) paths to maximize their education in the classroom and beyond so that they could create careers and lives they wanted afterward. Some items on The 101 Things List include:

#5: Study Abroad

#16: Lead An On-Campus Organization

#25: Contact 3 Successful Alumni

#43: Get Business Cards

#66: Write A Business Plan

#100: Do Something You’ll Likely Get Rejected From

The book is designed to be a quick read so that students can spend more time taking action and checking off their list than reading. For each item in the list, we explain why the action is important, how to get started, and then offer resources (i.e. websites, products, or services) that will help students complete the action. The book is organized into four key areas—academic, career, money, and success—so that students can focus their efforts on specific areas they would like to grow in.

The Innerview is a workbook & textbook that covers everything a college student or young professional needs to do before their big interview for an internship or full-time job to help them answer the questions:

– What do I want to be when I grow up?

– What’s the purpose of work to me?

– What am I passionate about and what careers align with my passions?

– How do I use my time in college to prepare for my desired career?

The clearer an individual is on these questions before going into an interview, the more likely it is that they will ace their interview.
