My book MAXIMIZE is out today. I’m so grateful to.@Shaq for his inspiration and his health and getting the word out about this book which is designed as an operating system for helping people maximize their potential. It’s especially important in this age where people need to develop a value proposition which will set them apart from the machine. #shaq #maximize #leadership #personalgrowth

Tomorrow my book comes out.
I’m more nervous than I expected to be.
The book isn’t about sports, and it isn’t about me.
It’s about building a personal culture. What you believe, how you behave, and what you do when nobody is watching.
Seven keys. Everything in it came from someone who helped me, or from a failure that taught me something.
So today I want to say thank you.
To everyone who read a post, shared a story, sent a note, or pre-ordered.
You made a first-time author feel less alone in this.
Tomorrow, Maximize is out in the world.
Today, I’m just grateful.
Who’s one person who helped you become who you are? Tag them. They’d love to hear it.

Four days.
After years of encouragement from Shaq, countless conversations with remarkable people, and a lot of reflection on the lessons I've learned over the course of my career, MAXIMIZE is almost here.
I spent most of my professional life helping other people tell their stories.
Writing this book required me to do something different.
Look back at my own experiences and ask what I'd learned or taught others that might actually make a difference in someone else's life.
The answer wasn't a collection of accomplishments.
It was a methodology or an operating system for succeeding in today's rapidly changing world.
Seven principles that helped me navigate challenges, recognize opportunities, build relationships and continue reinventing myself.
And I believe those same principles can help others maximize their potential.
I'm grateful to Shaq for all he did to inspire me to write the book and for contributing the foreword.
And I'm grateful to everyone who has encouraged me along the way.
MAXIMIZE: 7 Keys to Unlock Greatness in You arrives November 10.
If you've been following this journey, I hope you'll consider preordering a copy.
More importantly, I hope you'll put the ideas to work in your own life.
Because the real measure of this book won't be how many copies are sold.
It will be how many lives it helps improve.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to observe some extraordinary people up close.
What fascinated me wasn't simply what they accomplished.
It was how they approached life.
How they built relationships.
How they created value.
How they responded to adversity.
How they learned, adapted and continued to grow.
Eventually, I began to recognize certain principles that appeared again and again.
I organized those principles into the 7 Keys of MAXIMIZE.
Build meaningful relationships.
Develop a compelling value proposition.
Work with remarkable people.
Develop grit.
Learn from failure.
Serve others.
Adapt to change.
Individually, each of these principles can improve your life.
But the real power comes when you practice them together.
They become the foundation of a personal culture for success.
The objective isn't simply to achieve more. It's to become more of what you're capable of becoming.
MAXIMIZE arrives November 10, with a foreword by Shaquille O'Neal.
Which of these seven principles do you believe has had the greatest impact on your life?

Success isn't an event.
It's the result of how you live, think, prepare and execute every day.
Over the course of my career, I've observed some extraordinarily successful people.
And I've come to believe that what separates them isn't simply talent or opportunity.
It's the personal culture they've developed.
Their values. Their habits. Their relationships. Their willingness to learn and adapt.
I call it your personal operating system.
The good news is that you can deliberately build and improve that operating system.
That's what MAXIMIZE is designed to help you do.
Seven keys to unlock your potential and enable greatness in others.
Available November 10.

After years of experience and observing others I felt compelled to construct a set of core values. I wanted to be clear about what I stood for.
Not simply what I wanted to achieve.
But who I wanted to become.
That led me to develop a personal manifesto that eventually became the foundation of our culture at MPE.
Improve the lives of others.
Enable greatness.
Work with remarkable people. Exceed expectation.
Give more than you take.
Always learn and stay open to change.
Practice humility, compassion and love.
These are the principles I try to use when making decisions, choosing people to work with, and deciding where to invest my time and energy.
It anchors me in everything I do.
That's why I believe everyone needs a North Star.
Know what you stand for before circumstances decide it for you.
Have you ever taken the time to write down the principles that guide your life?

One of the most important lessons I've learned in building brands is that authenticity matters.
People can usually tell when you're trying to be something you're not.
When we built Shaq's brand, we weren't trying to manufacture a personality. We wanted to amplify the qualities that made him special in the first place.
His humor. His generosity. His ability to connect with people.
The same principle applies to building your own personal brand.
You don't become remarkable by imitating someone else.
You become remarkable by identifying what makes you unique and maximizing it.
That's one of the ideas behind MAXIMIZE, available November 10.

The biggest risk in life isn't failure. It is being afraid to fly without a safety net.
It's reaching the end of your life wondering what you might have accomplished if you'd been willing to take a chance on yourself. This is a lesson I learned from the late, great Quincy Jones.
I've thought about this a lot over the years.
When I left a successful career in law to become a sports agent, I had no clients, no guaranteed income, and very little money saved.
There were plenty of reasons to stay where I was.
Security. Stability. Predictability.
But I knew that if I didn't pursue something I was passionate about, I would always wonder what might have been.
So I took the leap.
I had no idea where it would lead. I had 3 months of savings and a hope and a dream.
But as the poet Goethe says: "whatever you can dream you can do begin it, boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
You don't have to know exactly how you're going to succeed before you begin.
But you do have to be willing to begin.
Nine days until MAXIMIZE. This lesson and more is in the book
What's something you've always wanted to do but haven't yet had the courage to attempt?

For most of my career, I've helped other people tell their stories.
I never had much interest in telling my own story and I wasn't interested in writing an autobiography. I just didn't think it would be that interesting.
Over the course of my career, I've been fortunate to work with some of the most remarkable people in the world. I've learned from their successes, their mistakes, their habits and the way they approach life.
Shaq kept telling me I needed to share the methodology I'd used to help people maximize their potential.
And I've tried to apply those lessons to my own life.
What emerged was a set of seven principles that I believe can help anyone become more successful, fulfilled and capable of making a positive difference in the lives of others.
That's why I wrote MAXIMIZE.
Not to tell people what I've accomplished.
But to share what I've learned—and hopefully help others accomplish things they never thought possible.
MAXIMIZE: 7 Keys to Unlock Greatness in You
Foreword by Shaquille O'Neal.
Available November 10.
I hope you'll join me on this journey.

One of the things I've always admired about Shaquille O'Neal has very little to do with basketball.
It's his ability to connect with people.
When we began building the Shaq brand, we recognized that his extraordinary physical presence could make him seem larger than life.
But there was another side to Shaq that I wanted the world to see.
His humor.
His generosity.
His genuine affection for people.
The more approachable he became, the more powerful his connection with the public grew.
And over time, something extraordinary happened.
Shaq became much more than a basketball player or celebrity.
He became someone people felt they knew.
I've thought about that lesson often.
Whether you're building a brand, leading a company or simply trying to develop meaningful relationships, people respond to how you make them feel.
Not your title.
Not your accomplishments.
Not how important you think you are.
The ability to make someone feel valued is one of the most powerful qualities a person can develop.
It's also a big part of what I mean when I talk about enabling greatness in others.
What's the most important quality you look for in someone you admire?
